Unfortunately Apple has a long history of turning an okay OS into flaming turd. They have really screwed up the Safari interface IMO. It takes a lot longer to surf than it used to. I’m sure they added a lot of goodies too, but adding more steps to complete tasks is just moronic. Yet they have been doing that for the past several OS updates. Apple seems to think that more features is better even if that means they have to introduce more layers of confusion within the OS.
They went full on backwards with the Home pages and widgets IMO. We are back to having fewer app icons per page like in iPadOS 13, and the widgets won’t allow pre iPadOS 14 widgets to be placed on a Home page anymore. Okay, the developer should update them, but on the other hand I liked using a few of them. Now I have to swipe right on the left side of the screen to see those older widgets. And that cool looking date and time widget was taken away.
I typed a long bit of text a while ago and then accidentally touched the screen with two fingers and the entire page disappeared! I’m also having a lot of issues with selecting text, which I also had in 14, but I was hoping they fixed that. 15 just seems like a really sloppy POS to me at this point. I might have to bite the bullet and go through the process of reinstalling iPadOS 14.8. iOS 15 is okay so far, but they didn’t change as much on the interface with it as far as I can tell, plus they give iOS 15 users the ability to switch off some of the Safari changes. I mostly use my iPhone XR for phone stuff anyway, but my iPads are used mostly for web surfing and similar activity, since they are pretty much useless at powerful computing.
I wish I had dug deeper into the iPadOS changes than I did. I only read about the changes to features and somehow missed the fact that they dinked with the interface too much.
