Apple Unveils iOS 7 with Major Design Overhaul, Multitasking and Control Center

Alot will change I'm sure. You are right the themes are great and give the phone a different feel. It is more immersive experience and everything flows really nicely. The main problem I'm having right now is the damn icons! but I have a feeling they will change overtime.
The point is that there are many ways for a computer to feature multitasking, each with tradeoffs. Saying one kind is 'true multitasking' and the others are 'fake multitasking' or whatever is falsely elevating one alternative among many. "Well yes, iOS has multitasking, but it's not true multitasking" is pedantry, plain and simple.
If a form of multitasking works fine for someone, it's irrelevant whether your say it's 'real' multitasking or not. All that 'real' means in this case is 'macUser2007 likes it, and is shoring up his opinion/needs as though they are objective properties'.
Don't know if this has been mention, but it will be interesting to see if there is a big overhaul to the sounds/tones/audio used throughout the OS, similar to the visual redesign. The sounds currently used are so inextricably linked to the previous design of iOS that they don't really seem to fit - my view anyway.
Oh please, I would rather have instead of twinkle twinkle little star like audios.
Nope.
"Multitasking" means multitasking.
It doesn't mean "limited multitasking for only some applications specifically allowed by Apple."
The reality is that Apple initially limited multitasking because iDevices did not have enough RAM, processing power and battery capacity (so that Apple's profit margins can be as high as possible), and now it will probably have to rewrite significant portions of iOS code to fully implement it.
Arguments about the meaning of "multitasking" are about as relevant as claiming that failing students have "different type of intelligence." I, for one, expect more from Apple.
Let me boil it down for you: The only question is whether Apple's multitasking works the way users want it to. For some people it's fine, for others it's not. What's irrelevant is whether it fits your definition of 'real'. 'Real' is a weasel adjective, plain and simple.
Please add "very limited" in front of "Apple's multitasking" and refrain from using the term "users" to meant "Carouser," and we'll be in agreement.
Apple is using "Apple Speak" when discussing multitasking and I do not think anyone really knows what it really means at this point. Except that it will likely be much more limited than what's available in Android OS, and than what most people understand the term "multitasking" to mean.
Interface Looks great to me
I am a big time Apple user but I must say... The interface looks a lot like WP8 mixed with a bit of Android except done a lot better. The icons suck but I'd bet my 7 month old son they will change those icons before the final release. Everything else in my opinion looks good. I'm very excited to get my hands on it.

It's not fair, even if I win I just get another kid. Mine are loud enough as it is. ;(
Unfortunaly, no. But I really like the new iOS 7, I suggest to try it by yourself. But be sure to backup files before installing.
Have any of you ever worked on a project that begins with an awesome idea and either through client input, lack of sleep or just bad ideas it evolves into something, that at its core embraces the original concept, but is just a sum of it's parts rather then good design? Yea, that.
Dont get me wrong, Apple has built up enough trust where Ill let them foul a few pitches off before I start to really question the approach, but egads, Helvetica Ultra Light? Sentence cased w/ out shadows? Should be fun trying to read that in sunlight.
Its like they really, really wanted to embrace new design trends and move past some of the heavily influenced Jobs design concepts, but wound up inadvertently making everything start to feel like a Microsoft Windows 8 Beta UI (Tahoma!)

i have no complains what so ever, the UI is fantastic and new features are just splendid.
But, those hideous "icons", what have you done Apple. It looks like windows 7 icons inside Aqua GUI. Come on there is still time to design them the better way, for that i mean, give it to the OS X icon design team.

I'm really excited about the fresh interface and app improvements of iOS 7!
While just the other day I was really jarred by it, to be honest. I'm highly optimistic, especially knowing that a lot of refinement is coming, especially with those home screen icons.
And that's not even mentioning what new features will be there, along with the new iPhone 5s(or 6) this fall, that we may not even know about yet!
Apple continues to make its mark on the industry and continues to get people talking, and isn't that one of the biggest reasons that we love trend-setting Apple so much in the first place?

The fault in your logic though is that Android has evolved since then. And so has iOS. You would never benchmark a new computer against one from several years ago.
As OSes evolve - so can what is considered the one to benchmark against.
And ultimately - who cares? Use the phone that works best for you. It doesn't matter if it benchmarks better or worse than what I use as long as you're happy. And vice-versa.
This pissing contest is stupid.
Don't do that kind of judgement, instead try it by yourself, or WAIT. I don't see any contrast problems in iOS 7.
Lol you think iOS is preschool looking? Have you seen TouchWiz and the GS4 itself? It looks like a plastic Fisher Price toy with its interface designed by the very same company. You reak of troll #
I wonder if there will be a saturation adjustment for the UI elements? 
I just can't get over the oversaturated color scheme and ugly icons.
I know some of you like vivid colors, but I think it will turn more people off than on honestly. Especially since this goes against the more discrete looks that Apple users tend to prefer.
And yes, such details matter a lot. Especially with the competition Apple has these days.
That said, I do like the functional changes in the UI. So I'm split.
I think I will have to jailbreak iOS for the first time. It's not unlikely that I will abandon Apple in the smartphone segment if this is the direction they are going in.
Mavericks looks really sweet on the other hand! So glad that they are finally doing some real under-the-hood work to improve CPU usage and battery life.
