Don't mind the flatness. As someone who uses their ios devices mostly at night, I'm not looking forward to everything having a white background though. I wish there was a theme that could be enforced on all apps that could be swapped at appropriate times. You know, like Windows 3.1 in 1990.
The choice of colors and gradients look terrible. They made iOS look worse. They swung too far away from skeuomorphic design. Even the art on the icons, without considering the colors, look like an amateur drew them. Look at the SDK icon: http://i.imgur.com/JXw7KQA.png That is ugly. So is the iTunes icon, so is the Safari icon. Not a fan.
The Settings icon is terrible as well, compared to the current one. http://cl.ly/PYkr
I realize that a lot of people will be focusing on the UI redesign for iOS 7, but the standout thing for me was automatic updates from the App Store. I think it's a huge thing for developers. One of the biggest pains I think we face as developers is software fragmentation. So far Apple has done a very good job of having users update versions of iOS and keeping consistent with hardware specifications - it's probably o…
Also makes a lot of sense from a user's perspective. Click-to-update is so last decade.

Still, it would be nice to have more composability in apps. I'm working on a UI plugin / framework for apps and I really wish that I could do incremental updates without developers having to redeploy their entire app. If only you could include app dependencies so that when you downloaded an app that used Dropbox, for example, it would download Dropbox too. That way, when Dropbox wanted to update their SDK, they could just push an update to their app instead.

I watched the key note with my girl friend - she is technical but still very much has a girls perspective and can be taken as a good representation of her friends. She flipping loves this redesign and I'm pretty certain my not techie iPhone/iPad using parents will too - and that, is was really matters to Apple, that 98% of their market will love it and not just the 2% of us who build for their platform. I like most o…
Also, it seems borderline crazy to think you can judge how well the colors will work from a screenshot. I've never thought a screenshot of a mobile device's screen felt even remotely like holding the thing in my hand.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The Verge's liveblog was confused, they saw the AMD GPU logos and thought they were talking about the CPUs.
I don't know why someone would use a liveblog when they offered a very capable livestream. Also quite the rookie mistake considering the AMD logo they showed had "FireGL" written right on it.
So, this update might actually get me to switch back to iOS from Android. Anyone else?
