Are these more design options? Or will we be forced to have an "expressive" tacky looking design
- C'mon. By now, you should know it'll be forced, and we'll lose more functionality at the same time.
  
  I don't see why they can't just make the system more customisable. This stuff is highly stylised and ugly in my opinion.
2018 - adds digital wellbeing features to help you disengage from your device
2025 - makes the entire interface more engaging to help keep you engaged
It looks nice. It’s like having a casino in your pocket.
The biggest thing for me is it looks like they are finally giving us back more than 4 quick settings in the notification pull down. They'll probably mess it up somehow, but one can dream right?
But I don't like bright. Everything dark please.
I like it. Takes a chance at being original.
...i just want my icecream sandwich back..
I like it because it's kind of ugly but feels likes it's going to be iconic
are floating controls that good? I mean, over bottom bars
- You get used to it and honestly now I prefer it. I go to use my wife's phone and get confused for a second or so when swiping doesn't work.
These updates seem to never really make a difference to what I see in the UI. Maybe I have it all disabled.
