Well after a few days of using iOS 7 I've gone back to iOS 6 as I had the OS on my daily driver and needed particular apps that don't work with 7.
On first using iOS 7 I hated the new look, far too bland and not as easy to read or distinguish boundaries. It did start to grow on me though and quite liked certain aspects, although I still wasn't blown away. Not bad though.
On returning to iOS 6 it's made me realise how dated it looks. However, I do like the clarity and the ability to easily distinguish borders and buttons. I definitely now see iOS was in need of an overhaul, but I'm just not convinced they've got it right with iOS 7. Some bits look nice, but on the whole it's too white and bland for me, and as already mentioned it's not as easy to distinguish borders and buttons and things. I think due to there being too much white, and not enough clarity it does make iOS 7 more fatiguing to the eyes.
On the function front I think iOS 7 is an improvement. For example, it's driving me mad that I can't just swipe the screen left or right to go forwards and back in safari. And I also miss the control centre. The lock screen os much better on iOS 7 too. I'm sure airdrop will be useful when 'everyone' has iOS 7.
So I'm half and half with iOS 7. Some good new features and functionality. and I also agree with an aesthetic overhaul, I just don't think they've got it right,......yet.
