Broadly speaking I’m not anti-change. I’ve been using an iPhone since Android phones became uniformly enormous. The iPhone SE versions are a good size for me. But the new Notifications “Stack” in iOS 16 is appalling. I now have a huge space for widgets I don’t want and have been missing notifications for things.
It’s simple to disable it in Settings->Notifications and choose “List” but why enable the new Stack by default? Urgh.
