Apple is continuously playing catch up with iOS rather than innovating like they were known for in the Jobs era. Most of these features are just copies of other popular apps/operating systems that came out over a year ago.
Obligatory flamebait response to your flamebait comment: Android is a great R&D department. As long as it takes Apple less than three years to develop and deploy a feature they copy, Apple will still have it in the field on their devices before Android vendors do!
The biggest surprise for me was the apparent introduction of a "double tap" action to switch between apps in the new multitasking view. I couldn't understand what the advantage of that was over a single tap. Has Apple used "double tap" in iOS before? It seems like something they'd studiously avoided in the past.
Double and triple click have been used for quite a while now http://www.flickr.com/photos/adurdin/4944720731/lightbox/

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.
> Run away. Fast. Towards an Applestore? I've been using an iPhone since 3GS, and this is the best release ever. Both in features and looks.

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.
Just use the 'Invert Color' option. Configure Triple Click for it. I use it all the time. And with this new design, it will be even better in this scenario. Personally, I don't think I will like the super flat design though. They are swinging the pendulum into the other extreme.

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.

They remind you of real life huge rectangles with webpages on them that you browse through 3D space at home? > The whole design simply is not well thought out.

That's an arrogant and elitist thing to say. Your iWhatever doesn't make you a better human being, it just makes you think you have the right to tell that to others.
Don't be an iAsshole.

In theory, the auto setting for brightness should alleviate that problem. There are many apps nowadays that use a white background and I can't say they are too bright at night.
