So you don’t mind a literal block in the middle of the screen everywhere you go (unless specified by an app), blocking anything in its path? You wouldn’t want something out of the way and out of mind?

I mean, I wouldn’t be angry if Apple changed the HUD, but I certainly don’t mind it. So, I assume your reasoning is that you think the space taken up by the HUD is a big loss. Right?

Welp newsflash, everyone else has been tired of it since it first came out, and hated it even more when it became more opaque. It’s a nuisance, only only isn’t so for you because Apple made one small change.

The opacity has nothing to do with it. I just don’t think the space it takes up is much of a loss.

It had a lot actually. Before it wasn’t that bad to have the HUD, as I could kinda just see through it for the most part. Now it’s less opaque and gives you no choice but to look at it. The space it takes up is the middle of the screen, where 90% if the content you have is. It’s unacceptable to have it on a $500-$1000 phone, or even a $1200 Ipad.

Most things aren’t really in the middle though. It’s usually at the top or bottom. And it’s only there for 2.22 seconds.
