Earlier this spring there was a rumor about Apple redesigning Control Center with iOS 17. However, that didn’t come to pass – at least as of the fourth beta.
But inspired by the overhaul of the new Messages app picker in iOS 17, Parker shared his latest concept on X, here’s how he describes it:
Reimagining control center on iPhone with an entirely new interface inspired by the modern iMessage app picker in iOS 17. It’d be more playful and respond to your actions with fluid animations. Pin your favorite controls at the top. Rearrange the list. Drill down into newly organized control categories. Add actions from your favorite third-party apps. And more.
The overall UI is a minimal list view with drop-downs to get access to further settings.
To offer quick access, Parker imagines the ability to pin controls to the top of the UI along with the option to reorder everything. And coming as another big change, the concept imagines Apple opening up Control Center to third-party apps.
For a fluid, playful, and responsive experience, this Control Center lets you “Tap, hold, and swipe” to adjust settings like volume and brightness while the Flashlight button glows when you turn it on.
