I dislike all of them. As a designer I find it quite shocking that there is no one at Apple with sound knowledge of designing icons.
They have done EVERYTHING to a grid. Grids are good, but they need to be flexible. For the icons, there is clearly no flexibility whatsoever. Note the clock icon. It looks ok, its not offensive, now look at the iTunes icon. Its the same sized circle as the clock but having that thin a border that close to the edge of the icon gives it an uncomfortable appearance. They should draw the border slightly thicker and inwards if they insist on being so close to the edge.
That way the outer edge is still the same as the clock et al but the icon feels more secure. Some of the icons are so weak they look like you could wipe them off with your finger. The photos icon for example is terrible. It says nothing at all about what it represents. If it didnt say Photos underneath you would have no clue as to what it was. The same for settings - I mean what the hell is that thing on the settings icon? It looks like a bath plug hole or the back of a hairdryer?!
The compass and stocks icons are simply black squares. They will DEFINITELY need to be kept on separate screens as they look exactly the same on quick glance.
Going back to the circles, Safari is TERRIBLE. Again far too close to the edge giving you an uneasy feeling. You kind of don't want to touch it. It needs a border around the circle and not the flimsy one like on iTunes as I mentioned earlier.
The minimal style is very much my style when it comes to my work but you have to match it to the project. The iOS7 icons are incredibly weak, inconsistent despite the grid, non descriptive and ruin what should be a great iOS7 update. They are for a touch screen, but I dont want to touch these icons, because they seem flimsy and ambiguous.
