Because they're the most overrated feature ever. Having a weather widget would be nice, but other than that who cares.

Holy S#&%
When you put them next to each other, iOS 7 literally makes me cringe. ***** was Apple thinking?!? I guess thats what happens when Ive's ego goes unchecked by Jobs.
Hey, I'm not hating. Just sayin' that everyone who doesn't like jailbreak (myself for example) is pretty happy to have all these features on a stock OS.
You mean without any emphasis on tiles. I see iOS 7 borrowing from Android but see very few similarities to W8.
Ive tried the beta and the all-text design is actually really hard to use. You don't know whats a button and whats a label. Adding a new contact is particularly bad.
Maps makes you want to vomit.

The design is really all over the place. So inconsistent. Steve Jobs had the masters whip and he controlled the show. This shows that Apple is in demise. It is Rome waiting to happen. The biggest shock is the hardware... even that shows that Ive's is nowhere without the master. The current mac pro is a work of Art compared to the big black butt plug, or trash can.
Yeah, all the hardware up to the recent iMac was still approved by Steve. Now without him, they have lost all sense of direction. The Mac Pro looks like it's Darth Vader's piss pot.
I actually like the new look of iOS 7.0. Apple succeeded in removing the skeuomorphism of older iOS versions without really "dumbing down" the UI--and I like the other changes they've done to the UI in many places.
Well done, Mr. Ive.
Well done, Mr. Ive.
Static Icons - Fail.
And for casual users who say who needs "live icons / widgets". Here's what I have on my start screen.
Stocks App (with live updates)
Weather App
Outlook Calendar App (live updates on my next scheduled item)
Email App - Will show you new emails on the home screen
ESPN App- Updating Sports Scores
You still think live icons are useless. I couldn't ever switch back to iOS, even with the lack of app support.
Then again, I don't play games on my Windows phone 8, unless its on the sh*tter. NBA Jam will work. But recent release of Teamviewer / Splashtop sealed the deal for me.
I prefer a phone that lets me glance at everything instead of popping in and out.

In the US
But there are Chinese sites which would deliver to the US. Do a search and you'll find a bunch.
It's not LTE, but frankly I find the roughly 3-4mbps speeds I get on my iPhone and old Galaxy Nexus on TMobile sufficient for most purposes.
I like the stainless steel body idea and for what I find myself using a phone I think the 5.5" 1080p screen should be ideal (I don't care about, or want, a stylus).
I was waiting to see if there is some sort of "one more thing" today, but while I do like the new UI, I am sure I can skin the K900 to look like it, if I really wanted to
I guess I'll enjoy iOS 7 on my iPad 4, but for a phone, I want more.
Textures will come again for sure. Look at all thise hi satured colors... constantly triggering your senses
Safari Logo or Masonic Logo?
Headline should have read App Store Logo.
Never really realized how much the Safari Logo looks like the Masonic Logo.
Who would have guessed? I'd guess Samsung wasn't invited to the last meeting.

That's maybe why my first line of the post read Title should have been App Store. I hit post too quick before I realized it.
But the similarities are as close as Apple's iOS copying Android and Windows Phone.

I don't know about all the icons, but the new clock icon appeared to be live
