So with iOS 11, while we’re playing music, there are two ways to control music playback: from control centre or notification centre. So which one is the intended playback control?
Got a tip for us?

I’m sure you know the answer to your question.
And if you think about it with the new iPhone X, it is kinda redundant to have the swipe down to have Cover Sheet music controls, and swiping on the right ear brings down Control Center music controls.
But if I recall correctly, the Now Playing controls in the Control Center can have multiple Now Playing panes with AirPlay 2, it’s also where you manage all volumes, paired devices, and streaming content.

It's hideous. Ever since iOS 10 got released I've lost all interest in listen to music on my phone just because of the hideous ui itself. Why couldn't Apple design something like the jailbreak 'colorflow' where the background takes the color of an album art? Android does that with Spotify. And those huge buttons are disgusting... remember when Apple Music and iTunes had the most gorgeous ui of all smartphones?
