Somewhere along the line, it seems that industrial designers and tech writers made the decision that these devices have been around so long, that their use is ubiquitous, and that somehow users just know how the things work and where settings will be as soon as they get them - without benefit of user's manuals or walk-thru pages on first start-up. Or just what might be for users, logically-placed controls in obvious locations. And this not just for the new or arcane features that Apple usually leaves to 3rd Party reviewers to find and explain to everyone else.
Some controls exist in the actual app, some exist buried away in Settings - and its a bit of a gamble as to guess where at times. Or whether they'll exist or be moved in the next update.
Form over function has long been the mantra at Apple, which has often lead to bad industrial design and tech writing. Ive was particularly fond of both - but he's gone now. Time to focus on the user - not the ego - now.
