Re: iOS 7
#172Some here have said that iOS 7 has gone too far in the "flat" direction, but my feeling is that the move is an intentional repositioning on Apple's part. Removing most of the "texture" from the user interface has (outside of aesthetic concerns) been done primarily so that it can be added back in a new way in the future.
Ever since I saw this demo video for Senseg [1]:

I've thought long and hard about how Apple might use this in future iOS devices. This clean slate design feels to me like the first step to something more. I personally hope it has a lot to do with haptic feedback as adding another user interface dimension to these types of devices would be incredible.

#173Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you please explain why transparency makes sense to you?
Maybe I won't like it in practice, but they sold me on "providing context."
You can barely see anything through that. Watch the parts where hes scrolling through photos, it's just a massive blur.
Olde' Vista Aero did this better.

#174I can't even read these comments. They swing too wildly from people loving the redesign to hating it. Apple was never, ever, going to be able to live up to everybody's aesthetic standards.
Looks like the "polarizing" prediction was right. Reactions I've seen from most people are either "I love it" or "This is terrible".
I'm going to wait until it's in my hands and can play around with it.

#178Two things I hope to see in Android here, multitasking UI and tabbed notifications.
After Google poached WebOS staff, their card UI is really nice and pretty Palm-like. For some reason they haven't shamelessly stolen the WebOS multitasking UI like Apple just have. I really hope they do, because it'd fit Android perfectly.
That notification bar is really nice too, although it seems to be missing quick actions like Android has. 'Today' and 'missed' tabs seem like a good idea though, I'd like to see them on Android, and I'm sure Google could use Now to make the 'today' one seriously useful.

#179I 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…
