So, this update might actually get me to switch back to iOS from Android. Anyone else?
If its any comfort, you can probably get a home screen replacement to look exactly like ios6.

#52I 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.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
Agree 100% with you on the Mac Pro. It's a novel design, but I have no idea why they went with AMD processors instead of the upcoming Ivy Bridge E Xeon E5s, which will run circles around the best AMD has to offer...
What? They did use Xeons, they said so right in the keynote.
The Verge's liveblog was confused, they saw the AMD GPU logos and thought they were talking about the CPUs.

#54Oh 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…
At the risk of getting flamed, you haven't actually tried it in the real world yet - you've looked at it on you monitor ...
Re: iOS 7
#55I actually like the new look, a few of the icons seem off, but I bet they grow on me. The transparency and layers makes a ton of sense to me. Really love control center, I can't wait to have easy access to my brightness. New Photos app looks amazing. Airdrop will be fantastic. New background / multitasking is a huge win. Biggest let down, no inter-app communication improvements. I think that's a huge problem on iOS n…
Can you please explain why transparency makes sense to you?
Re: iOS 7
#56Looks a lot like Windows Metro interface.
My thoughts exactly.
It's like Google's UI and Microsoft's Metro had a one night stand, then 9 months later dropped it off at the front-steps of the Jailbreak Orphanage.
Re: iOS 7
#57i don't think you can distinguish between ios/metro/android designs any more.
the recent design shrieks of adolescence.
who here predict a wave of apps that go back to earlier designs?

yeah, the thin, light text didn't look great during the presentation, but i can't imagine they wouldn't test it in bright sunlight/normal mobile phone situations, so I'm gonna wait til its actually out and in front of me to judge.

Those who knew said it would be "polarizing".
Indeed.
Re: iOS 7
#60The 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.
The pictures of iOS7 on the white iPhone look like those iPhone fakes from Asia.
