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…

Oh God why. I've got nothing against flat design done well, but this just makes everything so much harder to SEE . Look at the example screen for "Control Center" -- it looks like a geometric indistinguishable mess . The line around buttons is the same as the line dividing sections is almost the same as the line in sliders. The example screen for weather shows thin white text against a light blue background, which I…
Isn't the whole point of flat design replacing the loud superfluousness of skeuomorphism's textures with equally jarring psychedelic colour schemes? That's how designers prove their worth, by adding more stuff, right?

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…
I fear the auto-update feature combined with multitasking will drastically reduce the typical battery life of an iOS device.
