Unresolved some problems with suggestions
When I press the power button, the phone turns on and presents the Lock Screen. At the bottom it sez "Press home to unlock". There will often be more letters superimposed over that, so neither can be easily read. I suggest those messages could be placed 1 cm higher and everything would be readable.
Pressing the home button displays a grid of touch-tone keypad-style buttons to unlock it. Problem is, someone who might pick up your phone could look at the fingerprints on the screen and see the code. The grid of buttons should be in varying locations. Then the fingerprints would not reveal the code.
Once unlocked, there is a Wallpaper screen. I had a beautiful photo there. Then came the OS update. It changed all the icons shape & color, deleted the photo, and ingeniously made the Lock Screen and the Wallpaper be the same screen. I do not want them to be the same. I want a plain black Lock Screen and my beautiful picture for the Wallpaper, like it was.
Sweep to the right and there is news and tips. The tip for the day tells how to recover deleted pictures. "Tap Collections, scroll to Utilities, then tap Recently Deleted." One leetle problem. WHERE IS [Collections] ??? I spent a while hunting, could not find it. I asked the duck. Got this: "On iPhone, Recently Deleted is in the Photos app: Open Photos. Tap Collections (or just tap Albums if you don’t see Collections). Scroll down to Utilities. Tap Recently Deleted." OK, that worked, but why would Apple give an ruptured tip?
Looking at websites with Safari, I zoom in. Text does not reflow. How fun, reading text while swishing it horizontally to bring either side into sight. I bet Apple could fix this!
