Change is difficult to adapt to because it disrupts our comfort zones, introduces uncertainty, and challenges our sense of identity. It often requires letting go of the familiar, which can feel uncomfortable. Mental ageing plays a role too — it’s really a resistance to change, while physical ageing itself isn’t the issue. And just like in life, some things simply can’t be rolled back — for example, there’s no rolling back of an iOS version once updated.


Still, change is an inevitable part of life, and learning to adapt to it is essential for growth. With time, patience, and an openness to new possibilities, we can overcome the discomfort and find ways to thrive in new circumstances.

Agree with what your saying. But in this case it does not, in any way shape or form, mean that one has to like the looks of the new iOS. It’s a matter of personal taste. For me: I can get used to all the new features (adapt to change). But that does not mean I like the glass look. It’s adobe photoshop in the late 90’s early 00’s. Not saying again an era CAN’T come back but this is more in the category of ed hardy & rinestones lol

change is a part of life. I had cell phones for over 25 yr and things change all the time and never complained. In this case, it makes me sea sick/dizzzy. It is not about a preference, it is abput discomfort! If you liok at reviews, I am not the only one with this problem. Regardless, with the amount of money I am paying, I expect a choice in the matter.
