#232I still can't get over the choice to push in Bing. I know that both companies are hoping that the collaboration is going to equal good things for both of them but really, it is likely going to go the other way.
That's another really baffling choice. Microsoft must be paying Apple a bundle in kickbacks in order to make Bing the default search. Trying to unite against Google? Yahoo and Bing did the same thing. I'm sorry, Bing still sucks, no matter how their commercials try to convince me otherwise.

#234I'll have to use the UI on a device to determine if I like it or not. All the blue, pink, and white reminds me of Flickr. I'm disappointed we didn't get custom default apps or the ability to set a custom search engine. I want to use DuckDuckGo with Safari.

#235This 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 think the replies are symbolic of what commenting on HN has become in general.

#236http://movies.apple.com/media/us/ios/ios7/f34c5445-5a9c-4b3a... To me, that looks just like the Samsung UI. (yes, Samsung copied the icon layout but you could still tell them apart... now Apple seems to have come the rest of the way to Samsung's side)
Some of that text is so hard on the eyes. How could they not have put a shadow behind the white text?

#237Wow. Apple basically took all the shitty parts of Google's design philosophy and scaled it to epic proportions of fail. Take a look at the text screenshot. It is hard to tell where I should touch to start typing. It is hard to tell where the buttons are. Overall, this is incredibly shitty UI.
> Take a look at the text screenshot. It is hard to tell where I should touch to start typing. My guess is, the text box below the message list, which in the same place as it is in every sms app on every modern phone platform, and which is the exact same shape as the text box was in the old iOS sms app ( http://i.imgur.com/jSGZADn.png ), and which has the word 'send' next to it. That's just a guess, though. I could b…

yep, that's why I said it's hard to tell, not impossible;)

#240Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Aero Glass showed exactly why UI translucency isn't a good idea. It made every single window title bar noisy and hard to read.
At least iOS 7 cranks up the blur radius.
