They finally nuked the "special" widget section on the left fully... which screwed up a couple useful widgets that I was using and haven't found a replacement for... so that sucks.

New homescreen positioning is cool, but breaks one of the workarounds I was using without a replacement either (smart stack with a background that made them invisible until I scrolled them). Minor thing, but annoying. We can position icons slightly better now... but I still can't have 5 items in my dock? I still can't have different grid sizes? I still can't add custom icons? Sad.

No more mandatory camera app on lockscreen? nice. Hasn't been needed in forever... even less with the newer models having a hardware button.

Drag n drop for control center? Better late than never. Hate the round icons though... I like squarcles. When I still had an android and they tried to move to circles for everything, I applied a custom icon set to make them revert. Dislike the circles. Also the fact that the larger size is still a squarcle... makes it mismatched and stupid looking.

Like always... feels like a step forward and a step back. :/

Wait, where do I disable the lockscreen camera? I haven’t yet found that option unfortunately.

It’s one of my most hated “features”, to the point where I just completely disabled the camera itself to get rid of it.

You can go into the edit lock screen area and where you customize the background and widgets etc the bottom two things (flashlight and camera icons)are now editable.

Thanks! Seems there still isn’t a way to disable the left swipe camera though?
