ios7 is better than 6 in every way, and i'm pretty critical. glad i like it instead of hate it cause it's here to stay.
I'm not. It's a mirror of EVERY major iOS release. In a few years when they totally redo it again they will mourn poor iOS 7 and it's superior design.
My first iOS device was a 1st generation iPod touch running the original iPhone OS (that I shortly upgraded to iPhone OS 2.0). Several months later I got an iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 2.0. As someone who has been with more or less the same "look and feel" for 5 years, I can say that I really welcome the visual changes in iOS 7.
NO. Apart from a few icons and maybe wishing there was a hint of a drop shadow here and there, I think iOS 7 looks SOOO much better than iOS 6 overall.
Also, I'm really perplexed - whether you like it or not - by people who don't think this latest move reeks of classic Jobsian Apple:
Funny all my folders that went to 2 pages of apps or even 3 on the iPad made it less ergonomic in my opinion. Multiple pages in a folder is fine, just give me more apps per page,
I think a lot of people don't like change!
I recall that last year, there were loads of comments on here about how dated iOS 6 was and how clunky the skeuomorphism looked.
Now Apple has (for once) radically changed the interface, lots of people are complaining.
I understand that there may be areas where iOS 7 is not to everyone's taste but surely you have the option of ditching the platform if you feel that strongly?
This also emphasises why companies should never ask the customer what they think.

They need to fix the bottom bar, its blur or lack of is pretty ugly... It just distracts your vision on the home screen.... Choppiness of animations in some respects such as returning to home screen, going to multi tasking, etc. other things are very smooth and nice.
Delays with the keyboard going to numbers... Annoying. Massive delay changing wallpaper, it seems that apple really pushed the release of this thing, they have a lot of work to do for sure.
Im on an ipad 3 by the way, but i expect apple to atleast resolve every day accessibility issues and performance issues, atleast get this to perform the way it should..
I for the most part like the change, i just want it to be optimized, debugged, and snappy like a final release should be.....

I like it. Think it looks modern and up to date and I quite like the 'cartoon' graphics. Even on my old iphone4 it is running really well. I'm impressed so far but as with anything it will take a bit of tweaking to get used to.
My only gripe is that because of the case on my iphone4 I can't open the control centre because my finger can't get to the bottom of the screen properly. So if anyone has a way of opening control centre without the bottom swipe please let me know.

Quite. I personally love the new look and although there are a few bugs here and there, the overall look is nice and intuitive. I can understand iOS has had users since the start who fear change, but something needed to be done and I think Apple have hit the sweet spot with iOS 7. Just my opinion though, and my advice to those who don't like it and won't give it a chance, find something else now as its now changing back any time soon.
This is an operating system design, not a sugary drink taste. Apple has changed the look of OS X and matured it over time. There's no reason why iOS 7 won't. Especially with high-resolution displays and the beefier GPUs, it allows to give a fresh look that wasn't possible on older hardware.

If animations and color make you feel like puking, you should see a doctor.
It's not the LOOK that separates an iPhone from an android. It's the functionality. iPhones function better than androids. And they still do with ios 7
I can understand what's the problem, at least I think. This version seems to have provided a color scheme and layout that is not as universal as the last, which cause some to love it and others to hate it.
The android phone I used had so many apps
That let
You customize it and on the forums you found camps of people who used the apps that they liked.
I liked beautiful widgets and set up my home screen and color scheme to fit my tastes. This also included my app layout.
While I am fine with ios7 I do believe that it will cause some to look elsewhere. This concept of apple decided everything for their customers my come to a head on this one.
It's really weird because osx is very customizable. I switched because getting android os updates was so difficult that I left. I like the iPhone but miss the customization of android
