So, this update might actually get me to switch back to iOS from Android. Anyone else?

I love the update on their website too... They've managed to flatten everything.

Some of the apps like Weather, notification center, Stocks look brilliant, other seem too white. Why is it so damn white?

The 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:

That is ugly. So is the iTunes icon, so is the Safari icon. Not a fan.

Very unimpressed. They put lipstick on a pig. iOS was in need of a big update and this isn't it!

The flat trend was widely expected since Ive's comment, the Windows Aero overlays were kind of ironic in a silly way, a great direction nonetheless.

I really can't believe they released this. The pictures are sometimes full of everything, the colour choices are especially weird (white and blue, why?) and overall I really understand Jobs' and Forstall's vision of the iOS UI better than Ive's.

Looks a lot like Windows Metro interface.
