#204This comment thread is why the internet is bashing so hard on HN. This is so extremely negative and hyperbolic, It's hard to understand. There are certainly things to be criticized in iOS 7, but invoking a plea to the holy lord for answers, is a bit extreme. Can't we at least temper our criticisms with a few things we found positive and a good attitude? Let me give it a try. I am really excited about the control pane…
I have to agree. I was pleasantly surprised by the UI changes for iOS 7, as I think the developers at WWDC were as well (a standing ovation, no less - even from fanboys)

#206Some of the apps like Weather, notification center, Stocks look brilliant, other seem too white. Why is it so damn white?
Weather appears to be a de-branded Yahoo Weather, but instead of local backgrounds pulled from flickr, there are generic animated backgrounds. I hope Yahoo Weather continues to exist.
exactly!

#208has to be a homerun. the last time the entire neckbeard web went apeshit like that was when they announced the iPad. and the iPhone before that. practically all forums are useless right now, including here. guess that a lot of people also only see the screenshot, have not watched the screencast. iOS looks different in movement, the animations, parallax effect, etc. all add up. the under the hood stuff is super, multi…
The nuts and bolts do indeed look pretty exciting. I can't wait to put it on my dev iPad tonight and start hacking away on my app.
Unlike my competition, I went 'flat' out of necessity when I launched last year (I found I could write 'bezierPathWithRoundedRect' a lot easier than I could draw a button in PixelMator). Who knows, maybe my app will look fresher in an iOS 7 context. It already looks utterly different to its competition (synthesizer apps), which are universally retro and skeuomorphic. Thanks to Apple for vindicating my laziness!
(Apologies to real designers: I do know there's more to flat design than not bothering to draw textures).

#210The 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.
They tried to get away from skeuomorphism, but still some remains. Just look at PassBook or the ugly 3D browsing through tabs. The whole design simply is not well thought out. This has clearly been rushed, which is not something I expect from Apple. If iOS 7 was leaked, people wouldn't believe it's the real thing. Sadly, it is. I'm staying with Windows Phone.
I didn't know what Microsoft meant in their description of Windows Phone as "Authentically Digital" until I just saw the ugly bombshell Apple just left.
The new iOS looks half-baked, they can't do anything too bold, else they lose their metaphors, yet they can't do anything radical like Microsoft did without redefining their platform and re-educating their users.
Run away. Fast.
