I'm already quite old. Though you seem to think my point is a juvenile one. Let me be clear. The color scheme is not going to appeal to most men. It just isn't. Even open minded liberal men like myself.

That's entirely cultural. It will appeal just fine to many men. I'm guessing you're American and live in the suburbs or a rural area? I'm not trying to be snarky, I just think there's a big cultural divide in what's considered "manly" (and how important it is).
 
No. Not all of us are touchy homophobes.
I love it....!!!! Been using since the first beta on iPad 3rd gen, iPad mini, & iPhone 5. Seriously adore the experience. Icons are probably the least important thing to me.... I actually use my Apple products, don't just sit there mouth agape, staring at home screen. At any rate- control center & swiping to go back/fwd in settings, mail, safari, texting, etc. are my two "could never go back" features.

Not a homophobe. I don't like pastels. Most men don't. How are you not getting this. I never said anything about anyone's sexual orientation. Why jump to the conclusion that I'm a homophobe.
 
Have you actually added the your-location weather in the weather app? My notification screen showed nothing until I added my location in the weather app and now I see the weather in notification and I just tap on it to go to the weather app

Weirdly although I can access the weather app it doesn't appear in the settings or notifications menus. :confused:???

Update: Problem solved. OK, my settings are not the same as before the update! Location services and some other settings changed with the update.

I wonder how you can speak for most men ;) Admittedly I am a woman and I love it, however I am sure there are plenty of guys who like colours as well...how is that even a gender issue? :O
 
Tap right where it says the current temperature, I PROMISE it will work.

Nope sorry ain't working for me.

Besides that. I don't know why they didn't include a weather app icon...

What? The light grey area is where you can launch the app

I'm on iPad, it's a little different I guess. There's no gray bar there for me. It has that text. But no gray bar distinction, just text

You don't get it. He's from Santa Monica. When you have someone from the most effeminate of blue zones saying it is not manly enough, you know you're off base!

I like colors. I don't like pastel colors. I think it is pretty obvious that most men don't Sure nome do, but not a large percentage. This should be obvious. Go to a department store and try to find mens underwear in a pastel color. You will have a hard time doing so. Not impossible, just very difficult.
 
Finally got it, after over two hours of trying. I like the new design, but it looks like a pain to get around.
 
Really nice UI design, Apple... your text doesn't even fit inside the buttons that you've designed.

I'd like to disagree with you about Santa Monica, but when they made it illegal to smoke in your own apartment, they went over the edge. And I'm not even a smoker.
