The icons sizes all shrank significantly with no option to increase the size. Combined with a ton of space on either side of the icons, now they are icons are tiny, especially on an iPhone mini.

Also, no one expects a + icon to mean "organize". Sometimes the + icon is not even tappable due to other random stuff that gets jammed up there, like And the new power button doesn't do anything when you tap it, only when you hold it. No feedback at all.

That said, I do appreciate the ability to move the icons anywhere (to put important ones closer to the bottom). Now, can we add the ability to add some of these to the lock screen without using 3rd party apps?

You actually can change which ones appear on the Lock Screen! Start editing your wallpaper directly from the Lock Screen and you’ll be able to edit them. I changed the flashlight to the calculator.

Only a small number that can be added to the lock screen. I meant to the widget area anyway, not to the bottom corners. Would be nice if more than one row of widgets were allowed too

Oh and why can't we use multi-touch to drag multiple icons at the same time using different fingers? Or to hold one down so it doesn't go flying while dragging another one around.

I chalk this up to “no one except that ‘one’ guy is going to do it”. Literally you would need to be a classical guitarist with amazing finger dexterity, coordination, and accuracy to do this without screwing up your goal.

  That’s funny I do play classical guitar, but I disagree.
  Left thumb holds down an icon to keep it from moving, right thumb moves an icon just as you are already doing.

  Well I said it takes the dexterity and coordination of a classical guitarist and you are a classical guitarist.
  My greater point being that generally you are not going to write feature requirements into a consumer product UI to hit bleeding edge use desires for a small group of dexterous users unless there is a really good reason to do it. People tend to configure this control center once and never mess with it again—10 mins and you are done forever. Adding multitouch and drag features here seems pretty unnecessary and would require a metric shit ton of additional QA testing for a completely unnecessary feature to configure this screen.
