I don't like most of the "after" shots. It's now a lot harder to see what is a button/control and what is just decoration.

Re: iOS 7 before and after screenshots
#12Few of these look better, IMO. And I'm definitely not seeing a lot of consistency in design. That said, many of them weren't great in the first place anyway. One clear trend: getting rid of the bottom tab bar. I will mourn that loss - the top left corner is the least accessible place on the screen, and Apple saw fit to put the most important button (Back) there. The bottom bar was a very accessible shortcut in many a…
Ever since I switched to operating my phone using my left hand, it makes the left corner really easy to navigate. I made the switch because my right wrist has some residual injuries on it from high school.

#13Some of these don't seem "iOS 7ish" at all. Content in shaded boxes (within yet more shaded boxes!) is very much not the iOS 7 way. And strong lines separating content are rarely a good fit with the new look.
The ones that seem like they "get" it look much better to my eye. Lighter, cleaner, simpler, more open.

#14Maybe it's just me but a lot of these apps look really shoddy and half assed. I can't believe these are real apps that people expect customers to pay for.

#15The "after" screenshots don't seem to have anything in common anymore. Some of the apps look like Android, some look like Windows Phone, some look like Palm webOS. The previous iterations at least shared a few button styles and navigation bar styles, but now it seems like everyone has taken the opportunity to reinvent those too. It's certainly ok by me that app developers are taking more liberties in making their app…
To be fair it's a new style language. It's going to take time for people to normalize on designs. Eventually I think that there will be a more homogeneous experience, but right now everyone is trying to feel it out and explore. Design follows trends, but right now there aren't any trends to follow in ios7.

I like them. The information is much more clear.

Why did they have to remove "good" skeuomorphism when going flat? :(

#18The segmented control in "Photo Investigator" is completely illegible post-update.
Re: iOS 7 before and after screenshots
#19Are people really redesigning their whole apps just to fit iOS 7 better or what's going on?

#20Everything is so flat.
