My first Apple product was a iPad Pro I got last year. I consider myself quite tech savvy, but the gestures was a huge pain-point when learning the device, to the point that it soured the whole experience for me:

When trying to find the WiFi toggle button (which is accomplished by "pinching" the screen) I basically just tried every possible gesture until I found the right one (I know that some gesture opened it from watching others). By far the worst and most memorable UX problem of the year.

WiFi toggle is in the Settings app where it's always been. What's so confusing about that?
Why wouldn't you just Google it? It would have taken you two seconds and then you'd have known all about control centre and how to access it.

Besides, none of those gestures are actually necessary; you could have gone settings app > Wifi > turn wifi on/off.

You shouldn't have to Google for basic functionality such as WiFi toggle button.

Right, and you don't. Going to settings and toggling it is fairly obvious.
I think that after disabling WiFi, there's no Googling possible.

What if the problem was how to turn it on?
