Agree about green. The pulsing lightning from beta 2 was far better and "Mac-style".

I thing there`s too many dashes (NC, CC and this)
The screen is default for iOS may be you can use some theme to change it later in time. Overall no one has problem with the slider arrow.
Before: "It's not obvious how to unlock the phone! I handed my friend my phone with iOS 7 on it and he kept sliding up to unlock!"
After: "This new arrow is annoying."
Apple seems to be eliminating text in certain user action elements and replacing them with icons. This can be seen in Safari's bookmarks menu.
I see no reason this change shouldn't also be implemented on the lock screen. At this point, every user on multiple platforms is aware an action needs to take place to unlock the phone. Do we really need text stating, "slide to unlock"?
By simply removing the text and keeping the arrow, it keeps the interface clean while also allowing for a clear message to the user.

Just curious why you think the arrow looks bad?I was one of those who thought the old lock screen was too confusing. I have had an iPhone since launch day '07, and had trouble unlocking it at first.
Now, I'm one of those that think the arrow looks bad.
But that's what design is. Design isn't just making things look great. If that's all it was it would be really easy. Design means making compromises and finding balance between style and function. Design means that sometimes you have to add a silly little arrow even though I guarantee you that no one hates this arrow more than the designers themselves.
And again it's Beta, so we will see.
But people do, hence this thread.
Not really. This thread and anything on this site does not account for even 10% of the general iPhone population. If you compare the # of people in this thread who are somehow outraged and wronged by the arrow to the total number of people who have downloaded iOS 7, I bet you'll find out that overall, no one cares.
Nancy from Africa is right.
How low does your IQ have to be if it takes you more than a few seconds to figure out the lockscreen? There are 4 things to do and one of them is labeled. Plus idk if it's new to beta 4 but if you tap the screen, it moves in the direction it's supposed to unlock in. The 7 year old at my job figured it out nigh-instantly lol
FWIW, I showed my wife the arrow and she goes, "Yeah, so?"

God I must be the only person who agrees with OP. I don't really like beta 4, it massively broke messages which worked fine until now :/
Hello there.
I think this little arrow is most conspicuous element in beta 4.
I don`t like the little arrow afore "slide to unlock". Home screen became asymmetrical.
How about this wild idea. Remove the arrow and replace the text with "Slide right to unlock".![]()

Complaining about this tiny arrow is the new complaining about the icons.
