The argument is simply that the vast majority of people don't (or even need/want to) turn on or off their location services frequently enough, or really at all.Whats the argument for NOT having a Location Services on/off switch in Control Centre?
Am I the only one who sees this as a huge missed opportunity? Or would Apple rather keep being a little sketchy about battery life/saving battery?
Either they want you to have a hard time accessing one of the most used features, and by default many people will turn Location Services on and leave it on while diminshing battery. Or they just goofed and totally missed that this might be useful, without having to go into settings, then scroll down to privacy, click location services, click on. Doesnt that seem silly to anyone else?
It's pretty obvious based on the contents of each list. Top Grossing includes free apps (with IAP), and Paid has no free apps whatsoever. While the active item could be made clearer, this example doesn't work so well.What do you see in the first column, Paid apps or Top Grossing apps?
I'm sure most people don't want to manage location services. If you want to take a picture quickly are you going to remember to turn it back it on? There is a lot of granularity in those preferences. You can set which apps can use your location, and don't need to be bothered again.Whats the argument for NOT having a Location Services on/off switch in Control Centre?
Your initial point was that Apple no longer hires jailbreakers. You utterly failed to back it up. For good reason- it was pure nonsense to begin with.http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-hires-iphone-jailbreak-developer-2011-6

As far as hiring iOS jailbreakers, that is some info to back up my claim.
In the jailbreaking department, this website: http://www.idownloadblog.com/tag/jailbreak-apps-tweaks/
It goes to show you how people who work on UI actually know what they're doing. Jony Ive, an undisputed genius in industrial design, is completely clueless about software design (he needs to be demoted to just hardware so that he can focus on what he does best and let an actual expert in UI design take over). It's like when basketball legend Michael Jordan tried playing professional baseball, just because you're good at one thing doesn't mean it will translate well into other areas.

Will they ever come out with some actual new useful features instead of this ridiculous tinkering with the minutea of fractional changes to sliders and the like?
Honestly, the "Add to Contacts" text seems more in line with iOS 7's guidelines on "clarity". I know we all didn't like the amount of text-links instead of buttons, but now that we've all gotten used to it, going back to a simple "+" feels... not as good.
So because Apple listened to the jailbreak community more in iOS 7 than they ever have before, incorporating many more jailbreak features, it feels like Apple must have stopped hiring jailbreakers. Gotta love your logic.I said it *feels like*, since iOS 7 that Apple stopped hiring developers from the Jailbreak community, I did not want to sound like I was jumping to any conclusions. But to be honest, iOS 7 did incorporate many Jailbreak elements (mostly in the features department).
I'm pretty sure that Contacts in Dialer thing was there in beta 3 too, can somebody who didn't update confirm?
Right.. because all skeuomorphic designs are that ugly.
How about the original iBooks app? It looks a lot better than the crap they replaced it with in iOS 7.

Well, I believe most good companies have a single leader running the ship, steering it into definite direction. I think Apple will in the end run on autopilot for a while, then be slashed up and sold piece by piece.
From the last years scheme of innovations, we see mostly corporate moves rather than farming new behaviours for end users. Yes, Apple converted from 3D to flat, which mimicked the world of Googles Android. Instead of slowly peeling of the skin from yesterday, they took a u-turn, leaving the Apple brand and trademark bleeding. The problem is that the new look is tasteless, but effective. It no longer turns head, it gets things done. The specifications are greater than ever. Surfing the web, except for the crashes, is smoother than ever because of the new processor in Apples mobile portfolio.
One thing is still missing, and that is identity. Jony Ive seem to have a signature, but certainly lack the impression that used to glow from the very first touch. I don't expect anything from my Apple products anymore, other than faster specifications, because I no longer believe they have the power to astound their audience anymore through software aesthetics.
Did they revert any of the changes they made in beta 3?
Like the new slide to shutdown UI? Or the awful looking new call screen?
Most of the UI changes in 7.1 beta 3 were strange. (except for the green icon hue change and white point reduce, those were nice)
I believe this is Scott Forstall's work.
To be honest with you, I miss Scott Forstall and his design. There was nothing wrong with iOS 6.![]()
Distinctly remember adding a contact using the circled + in beta 3 last week.

Except that's not what iBooks looks like. Not even close, really.

What else would anyone expect or even want in a beta 4 update?Brighter slider and a + sign..... edgy stuff.
Is anyone else really bothered by the "Giant open sore" link that pops up at the end of the video? *vomit*
