That is not quite true though. You still have edge swipes to bring up notifications and the apps menu. Only now they are somehow more intuitive.

In the same location of the screen, having 3 different types of data with their own graphical convention is somewhat confusing to me.
That one is a hard nut to crack. Every OS needs some way of popping up system messages. In many cases these interfere with normal use of the device. That is not a big deal if the pop-ups offer some easy way of getting them out of the way.

The remorse pop-up is kinda tricky in this regard. Perhaps it needs two actions: tap here to change your mind or here to do the action right away. The default would be as it it, perform the action when it times out.
