I'm sure that I am not the only one. After the IOS 17 update was shocked to see that horrible gray call screen. Who in the technical department decided that was a good idea? and also moving all the buttons to the bottom of the screen. Certainly is vey ugly as far a I'm concerned. I know there's no fix for it here, just getting it of my chest.

It is horrible. Hard to read outdoors. May be going back to Android
If you think Android is without its issues and is a better option for you, by all means buy an Android. This is a user to user only forum and it doesn't matter to any of us what device you think best meets your needs.

iOS 17.1.1 contacts have option to colorize individual contact background and photo. Horrible looking, very hard to read. Need option to back up from update.
You cannot go backwards to a previous iOS version
Both of you should provide feedback to Apple, where it will actually be read by them, as opposed to this user to user only forum, where Apple doesn't participate --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

If I needed an android phone I could have got an android one not an iPhone that looks like android! The worst decision ever from developers at apple! Please switch us back to the old one that we used to since several years now…. Apple is Apple not orange or pear or a banana for that matter! It’s an iconic brand and a stature symbol! It’s serious…
As this is a user to user only forum, asking us to switch anything back will get you nothing.
Tell Apple what you want using this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
A lot of people at Apple and most iOS users like it.
If you don't, complain to Apple; literally no one here can do anything and Apple doesn't read complaints/suggestions left here except to make sure they don't violate the ASC terms of use - but they do read and often act on comments left at the link below:
The best workaround is to set a poster picture for any of your contacts with a gray screen who did
not update their poster or who do not have an Apple phone. The gray screen is not going to be fixed because it was designed to look ugly. Apple wants its users to update their contact posters so they look pretty on incoming calls. But the ugly gray screen will continue to show up for any non-Apple users since they do not have the contact posters feature. It encourages people to buy an Apple phone so the don’t appear ugly on other Apple phones. That is also why Apple chose an ugly green background to identify non-Apple users in iMessage. So please never get annoyed at anyone who has an ugly gray screen or a yucky green bubble. Apple understands aesthetics and could make them look nice if they wanted to.
As has been said many many times throughout this thread, no one here can do as you wish. Telling us what you want Apple to give you is pointless.

Please change this back to pre-iOS 17. The new version is absolutely ridiculous. It feels like I've pushed a wrong button and it shifted me from a phone call to a FaceTime Call. Just senseless UI/UX.
You aren't speaking with Apple as this is a user to user only forum. Asking other users to change anything, will get you nothing.

This change has been a disaster for anyone with sight issues. The gray/pink background with faded buttons is virtually unrecognizable to my mother. To compound it, you moved the buttons around just for the fun of it??? What in the world were the developers thinking? To say a “fix” is to update every contact individually is ridiculous! This is a safety issue! My 90 year old mother who has poor eyesight is literally without a usable phone due to this!
We weren't thinking anything because you aren't addressing anyone from Apple on this user to user only forum. No one from Apple is here and no one from Apple will see or respond to your post.
Feel free to tell Apple what you think by using this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Apple neither collects nor acts on feedback left here, so to complain here is merely to commiserate with other users who have no power to make changes even if they agree with your concerns.
Leaving feedback at the link below does get your comments read by Apple.
Read the thread you posted to. No one here can fix anything and you are not writing Apple. One post above your post is a link you can use to tell Apple what you'd like them do. Use it if you want to be heard by anyone at Apple.
Hello~ You are posting to other forum members that take issue with this themselves…not Apple. You can leave your feedback for them by clicking on below…

Tell Apple what they need to do. You've only shared your displeasure with other users on a user to user only forum, none of whom are associated with Apple at all.
You can use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
No, this is the color Apple chose in iOS 17 and isn't something you can change.
You can if you like, let Apple know what you think by providing feedback here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Again, no one here can do anything about it, so complaining here accomplishes nothing.
Let Apple know of your opinion here:
No, there is no way to rearrange or move buttons.
If you are upset by this, let Apple know:
