Now comes a coupla weeks of figuring my way around all the superfluous new bells and whistles.

Plus, busy, ugly interface.

I tend to wait out until my iphone no longer becomes truly app-functional to upgrade it, and mostly I just grab an "older-newer" one from my kids and let them get the actual new one.

Apple products are good for they are really durable. I've changed my iPhone
only after it has really broken. Same with pads, laptops and iMacs. Before
iPhone I had Samsung phone and it usually lasted only about a year. Same
with computers. Our laptop is from 2013 and is still functional.

If it's a new one with all the glass stuff, try this:

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > and turn on Reduce Transparency.

It's a little closer to the previous style. Easy to turn back off if you dislike it.
