Some things are arguably better[1]. If you have an iPhone without a home button you can swipe left on the bottom of the screen to switch between your apps (or back right if you passed it) without having to open the app deck (not sure what the name is, previously you would double tap the home button).

[1] Yes, this is my opinion and not everyone might agree with me.

On the phones that have a home button and 3d touch, you can switch to the previous app or bring up the app switcher with a force touch swipe from the left edge, fyi.

I had forgotten about that! While this is true, I find it a lot more difficult than the new mechanic since it's a lot slower.
