I thought the same thing lol. Us English say it correctly IMHO

We English...

How so? My first sentence was referring to hardware, physical products, my second sentence was about the software.

...

Really?

Every year they released a "game changer" in terms of hardware? EVERY year?

And can someone please explain to me how a guy who is supposedly a design genius can't say "aluminum" correctly? If you're going to be a detail guy, learn how to pronounce the stuff out of which most of your devices are made. Gah.

Did you post this for a dare?

He is English and was speaking in English and pronounced the word, in the way it is supposed to be pronounced in English.

What's the problem?

You have two sentences that directly conflict with each other.

They do not conflict eachother. You can be excited about something that is not a game changer.

He's from the UK where "aluminum" is "aluminium."

WTF? Sometimes I hate the language. I have never, ever seen it spelled that way or heard it pronounced that way aside from Jony.

OK, he's off the hook. Now someone design me a time machine to find the fool(s) who decided to change it over here. Same thing with dropping all the u's from words. Were our ancestors on this continent THAT uneducated?

(Yes, I know they apparently were)

Some icons have gradients (messages, weather, camera) or shadows (settings), others only a white background (photos, game center), some have a very textured and bubbly look (game center again), while other exhibit more design elements of what has been lately referred to as "flat design" (stocks, compass, newsstand). I personally find the latter the most well-designed and pleasing to the eye.

Add to this that some are confusing in regards to reflecting what they are for (Settings and Game Center come to mind) and I agree with all of this.

They need to pick one way and stick with it. I myself am find with them removing the gradients and shadows. Simply the Stocks and perhaps Newstand and trade out Settings and Game Center for something that makes more sense.

And I wouldn't mind if Safari went back to the blue background.

I didn't say I could speak it fluently, but its the only language I speak.

hahahahaha.

You're questioning an English person how to pronounce English?

again. hahahahahahah

Gamecenter had an icon for Chess. Do you play Chess in gamecenter? No. GameCenter is a social tool. Lets leave the chess and rocketship icons to the actual apps where you play those things.

"Sir" Jonathan Ive... SIR. You do realize he's British... right? It's spelled Aluminium in English.

I assume you leave out second (i) when you pronounce it, as you did when you spelled it.

you really need to do some fact checking before posting things that make you look really foolish.
