Back when the Distracting Island launched last year, I was taken aback by how incompetent Apple designers were. When a user set a Timer Apple placed not just the minutes, but also a constantly counting down seconds timer in the Distracting Island. I couldn’t believe how stupid they were. Here’s a large orange font on a black background constantly changing at the top of your screen, while the rest of your screen is static. It was an unimaginably embarrassing distraction. Obviously you would have minutes be the minimum countdown so that you only get a change every 1min, not 1sec.
I should be running the entirety of iOS. They truly don’t know what they’re doing in terms of design.
If I were running iOS trust me, you’d immediately get a far better Distracting Island. You’d also immediately get an option within Notification Settings to CHOOSE whether you wanted notifications on the Lock Screen and Notification Center to be on the bottom of the screen—how Apple erroneously changed them in iOS 16—or on the upper-middle of the screen how they had correctly been in iOS since the inception of notifications. A simple, choice.
This was another thing I laughed at last year. They introduced Lock Screen customization, but simultaneously radically changed how Lock Screen notifications appear, and DID NOT offer customization for that. Notifications are astronomically more important than anything else on the Lock Screen that you could customize, and they radically changed their position and don’t let you customize them back up. It’s sad the designers could be so bad.
