Every time I use the notes app I think 'this looks nothing like my handwriting'. Man I loved Steve but his obsession with making software look like real world physical objects was just
I'm confused... People are flipping out because a splash screen has been altered?
Take a xanax and relax lol

Agree to disagree! See the comment below this reply. I don't think it is far fetched at all, even after only a couple weeks, to say that this new UI/UX for a better understanding of Passbook (a new feature that people have been confused about) was seen by Jony's eyes and he simple said, Okay, or try this or that, etc. That would take a whole 1 or 2 minutes. Just sayin'.
This!
Haha, I don't know who took this screenshot, I got it off AppleInsider, but when you open Passbook there is nothing there, no ads, just this new welcome card! Whoever took the screen shot apparently had a Target card added already. So don't worry, calm down lol.
Yes I want more uniformity as well. Honestly, I wish they would split iTunes into pieces in OS X and have Music, Movies, Podcasts, iBooks, iTunes U, iTunes Store, and ONE App Store like in iOS! I was hoping that would happen with the next iTunes update, but I guess it is not going to
Yup!

I like clean design overall but I think some subtle hints of skeuomorphism that are functional are ok and can add character. But it has gotten out of control for sure!
No we are not flipping out. Just having a fun conversation and speculating on our excitement for some fresh ideas in iOS soon!
I was at a Tableau software conference last week and this discussion came up at a cocktail party. A couple Tableau employees were making fun of some of the UI stuff in iOS and sadly I couldn't disagree. I don't know if I'd want to be Ive right now. As important as maps and Siri are everyone is going to zero in on what iOS (and other software) looks like. I have a feeling the expectation that it will be really different is huge.

Ya I'm not sure... It probably will get a lot of attention and there is quite a bit of pressure on iOS 7 already! I'm not sure how drastic the changes will be. Probably more refinements but lots of them. Same overall theories and user interaction but lots of cleaning up and refinements with some apps being redesigned and some new UI paradigms embraced with SDK support for devs.
That is my prediction

You forgot the other side of it: Any "bad" design decisions will somehow be attributed to Forstall, even 2 years down the road.
Just like how any good decisions Apple makes now are still attributed to Steve, while any bad ones are blamed on Tim.
Very true.
The other day Apple issued a new beta of iOS to devs.
I am going to go on record and say that the new Passbook welcome screen (below) is the first sneak peek into iOS UI/UX designed by Jony Ive's oversight!
What do you all think? Discuss
Tell me this is a joke, right? That design looks like crap, worse than anything during the stone age from RIM.
A bit dramatic I think! lol
I only say it because I'm a graphic designer myself.
Well that's great but so are the people that designed that. And they work for the most prolific technology company on earth that is notorious for beautiful design... Just sayin'.
Why don't you post a mockup of how you would do it

Looks nice
And the same can be said for its current design.
So why all the hate for that then hmmm.
iOS 7 needs to unify all elements of the UI. There are way too many different schemes and styles within iOS and I hope they can fix that. And please, please get rid of the gray blue color of safari and so many other things in iOS on the iPhone. It looks so much better on iPad with the silver/gray look. I am actually a big fan of the new black look of the App Store. I would like to see that spread to the other apps.
