They have that on the ipad... not on the phone... And a tiny pic does not take much space. It would be the same line as in favorites... Why not "unify" the whole look. And It would look A LOT better

The group messaging pics are on the iPhone as we'll. As for single messaging, perhaps some might see it as looking nicer, I can see that. Personally I don't know if the nicer looking is worthwhile in a single person conversation pretty much just showing the same picture all the time and taking up some extra space. But they should at least do that in contacts as someone mentioned earlier.
This is not 7.1 GM, so, stop complaining, at least until the GM, if after the GM the contacts are still like that, then you complain..
Also, this also happens in 7.0.6 depending on the size of the pic of the contact.
Other thing, you are using a stock photo..
There were always different versions of the photo that could be used/displayed, the difference is that so far in the recent 7.1 betas the full screen version has been removed. Let's hope it changes by the GM/final, but going by similar concerns with iOS 7.0 betas a lot of the remaining issues were still there in the GM/final unfortunately.
This is a forum for people to express what they think, so i ll keep complaining. People have to right to write what they thinks and other have the right to ignore what they want. Also, I am not using a stock picture. I used my own pics taken by my camera. It happened in 7.0.6 if it was a crappy pic, otherwise it would show full screen...

Most of the people like the implementation of the circles in the screen! Does it really take so much space?
I am not saying putting circles in the text bubbles, i am saying in the list of people when u open the text app. Like favorites...
Ah, I see, in the list of conversations, that's a little different. Might be a bit tricky for group messages though.
Oh kids this day, yes, you are using a stock picture in your first post, I don't think Ivy Calhoun is calling you, you have to know this terms if you are beta testing.

If he would complain after the GM, it would be too late for Apple to change it in the final release of 7.1
I would really really dislike it if Apple goes through with this. I have set all my favorite contacts up with good looking high res images and it looks really great when someone is calling, when I call someone or when I am in a call and the image gets blurred. I still have good hope that they will fix it before the final release, because they did use it in their promotional campaigns.
I am so gla I am not the only one feeling this way. The look is horrid.
Also on a side note I despisethis new slider >.> it looks tacky and weird. The old arrow one was bright and simple and worked great.
I believe in Apple but 7.1 is a right design disaster, and I don't think it's Jony who is causing this as the old design was much more his style.

Yeah, I really don't get what's going on with 7.1. All the design changes are clumsy and poor. Meanwhile **** like the dropshadow on yellow text in the notes app remains. It's inexplicable.
It is a disaster in terms of design. To many circles all over the places as I said, and so empty screens. I also took the time to get high quality pics for the contacts I care much, and for some other I put wallpapers that has a meaning to the contact (see above my "physician's office" contact) and they looked excellent. Why they changed it? I also think this is not coming from Jony...
And the slider is so so so so ugly it's disgusting. The old one was plain and nice, just as iOS 7 is supposed to be. Hope they change it, but I think it's too late
iOS 7 looked very very modern... iOS 6 in my opinion looks very very old!
2007 design... imagine that!
"Hilton looked very very modern... Taj Mahal in my opinion looks very very old!
1653 design... imagine that!"
Good point. But sometimes things need to change and evolve. And i don't see that wrong. Actually, the messed up iOS7.1 because they are trying to get something from iOS6 over, like the slider, which is outrageous...

And... for the record, i went to India couple of years ago, and i stayed at a Hilton... lol

Yes, the thing is I don't think Apple is reading this thread..
Please keep the full screen pictures
I love full screen so much that I actually bothered to put in 100+ pictures to my phone over the Xmas and it looks great, also when you call someone and it is out of focus but I recognise the people in the background and it looks great.
If you for whatever reason need to put this new ugly UI in please keep it in as an option but do not force it on us.
I will actually not upgrade to 7.1 and I desperately need to as my 5s restarts twice a day for no apparent reason and ever since IOS7 Siri says"I am sorry but i cant take any requests right now" far far too often. Please apple fix what is actually broken with IOS 7.

If it does not have a contact image looks hideous as well. The blurred wallpaper with that AWESOME (being sarcastic) slider looks the worst iOS screen Apple has taken out. They have said Microsft is failing bc they put a table system on a laptop and viceversa, that they should have different interfaces... Well, Apple, you can have circles in the iWatch or CarPlay, but you DONT have to bring it to every freaking place!!!
At least the new "Slide to answer" makes much more sense than the current one which looks like a button (like the Call button in Phone.app > Keypad) you are supposed to press.
On the other hand, even on the lockscreen there is no "Slide to unlock" background or rail, just a simple text. So why are they bringing back the iOS1.0 slide rail?

Here's an idea: why not keep the fullscreen view for high-res photos and then adapt the screen for low-res ones (not crappy circles)?
And change the sliders back to the pre-7.0 ones. The ones that were edge-to-edge; shown off in the WWDC presentation. THEY were beautiful.

I think a compromise between the two would look good. Instead of a full screen pic just take the circular picture and make it big enough so that it takes up the space between the name and the slider. Stays with the 'circle' theme while not taking away from the immersiveness.
Solution!!!!
Replace the slider... (its just horrendous) Get a full size pic when u r getting the call, replace the message and the remind me because they are also horrendous. When u answer, the full pic goes into the circle in the right of the name. And i would let the "end call" as a rectangle. Too many circles, and i thing the rectangle at the bottom kind of makes all together.
