What a random feature request. In case you're not aware, you can open control center, long-press on the flashlight icon and you get to adjust the brightness of the flashlight. If you're not already at the max level, you might get a slightly (but definitely not much) stronger flashlight on your current phone.

I don't think I'd ever heard about this functionality before, thanks.
My wife is a long time Apple user, and I had to tell her to charge her phone sideways, swipe a few times horizontally and a few more vertically to get the night clock face with big numbers she wanted.

Despite boasting to have an intuitive UX, iOS can be very obscure regarding discoverability and exploration of features. Many features give no hints whatsoever of existing.

Not sure how it's random. I use the flashlight every day as well. A better one(yes I have it maxed out already) would be more valuable to me than any of the features they announced today.
