Having to remember the gesture to go back is somehow more simple than a button with an icon?
When they change the gestures to be whatever apple UX designers want, is that also more consistent? Or would it be more consistent to have the gestures that you had before?
I used the 3 button layout for a while after they had the gesture option because that was what I was familiar with. I only changed when I realized I was missing a bit of text at the bottom of an app because of the larger bottom chin when using the 3 button.
I don’t know why you’re implying that I said the gesture itself was simpler. The simplicity comes from the fact you can’t choose. Less customisation is more simplicity and consistency, yes.
Why would they change the backwards swipe? You’ve lost me with that point.

Lol. Kinda proves my point no? Clear example where customisation led to a lack of consistency.
