Howdy yall, I have gripes with the iOS UI and I spent way too long on these edits. Here are my proposed edits.

Option to have an alphabetical grid App Library.

The keyboard should ditch the microphone and globe icons on the bottom, move the keyboard down, and add a number row. The mic and globe can be repurposed in the ui somehow.

I just want to have horizontal brightness and volume sliders.

You want iOS to look like Android 16?

The app library on the pixel 8 is exactly how you want it to look and behave like.

The globe icon is in the spacebar, under the keyboard and also behind the plus/drawer icon. A bit to many options there but it is how it is.

And the sliders are horizontal but for volume only when you press the three dot menu after changing the volume.

I the past it was locked but can you already change launchers without jailbreaking?

Yes, this could have been an option that would satisfy everyone, if you don't like the look of your laucher, just install a different one, you want a different keyboard, just change it.

There are keyboards on iOS but they are LIMITED.
