Maybe the iPhone X will have enough power to add three numbers together without lag.

Seriously what are Apple doing. The fundamentals are gone. I literally don’t know what day it is anymore in iOS 11. I use google calendar which is stuck on 31 because apple don’t let third party devs have updatable icons. I used to swipe left to find the date, but that no longer works. Now I have to pull down from the top, which I find a rather cumbersome experience. I am not an expert on android but the latest pixel phones promo shots show the date on the home screen (or can be configured to do with widgets I guess). It’s getting tempting to jump ship.

Well it looks like the new Pixel has much worse issues, so don't jump just yet. Phones in general, from all companies, are in a weird spot right now.


If I swipe down from the top of the screen I see the clock and the date, do you get that?


Yes. But it’s cumbersome. With a plus model I can swipe left one handed. I need two hands to swipe down from the top.


Do you have the reachability feature enabled? It should allow you to reach the top for gestures while still using the phone one handed.

There's also assistive touch, which can help with gestures and other settings.
