Really? Which of these is the ugly one?

It's amazing how outdated iOS 6 looks now that we're used to 7. I could never go back.
iOS 7 does when compared to iOS 6. But that isn't right or wrong or bad or good--that's something subjective that everyone has a different opinion about. So, asking people which one looks good isn't something that would result in anything more than different opinions none of which are any more right or wrong or good or bad.
In any case, not even remotely related to what the thread is about.

Running 7.1 beta 5 on both my 5s and iPad Air now. I must agree, very solid on both. I'd like to see a little more tweaking, and wouldn't mind seeing a beta 6, but I wouldn't be surprised if the GM is next.
I decided to install beta 5 on my 5s Thursday night do to all the positive feedback on it. Since then I've installed it on my iPad Air and iPad Mini. Must say that its really great. I haven't had any issues personally.
With all due respect, I've been hearing this about beta 2 and beta 3. While these two were more solid than 7.0.4, they were certainly not bulletproof and are still considerably less stable than iOS 6.
The left one of course. But then again, answering "the one on the right" is a test to confirm that you're still an Apple-die hard, yes?
If nothing else, the left screenshot is less readable and not as easy on the eyes. It is also less usable at night due to the abundance of bright colors.
My opinion that it is also extremely ugly is, however, a bit more subjective.
People who say the left screenshot is less readable need some serious eye check up!
Anyway, who was the troll who hijacked this thread?

This, wow. iOS6 is so much harder to read, looks busy and ancient.
Though that Google Voice app icon is totally borked.
On my 5s, if I am on my second home page, lock my phone, then unlock with Touch ID. I get a white flash in the upper lefthand corner of the screen. Does not happen if I am on the first home screen when I lock, only if I am on the second, and it happens every time.
Anyone else?
This has happened through all versions of iOS 7 since I got my 5s.

iOS 6 definitely seems ancient in comparison, but it still feels richer and classier to me.
To play devils advocate, I'm on my iPhone and immediately noticed the text at the top (clock, etc) is smaller on iOS 7.
So there is a decent case for the claim it's "less readable".
Does it stop the god forsaken random rebooting spontaneously when using the 5S?
Yes, it does stop the re-springs and crashes for a majority of users.
It's still however, not perfect as there are both major and minor bugs yet to be resolved - anyone with a developer membership who frequents Apples iOS beta development forums can attest to the bugs that have been reported and filed.

If iOS 7.0 were as rock solid as 7.1 beta 5 appears to be, there would be no need to start a "tonne load of dumb threads". Fanboy apologists make me chuckle... claiming that 7.0 was just fine from the very beginning and that those with a complaint were being stupid and childish and yet they acknowledge that 7.1 beta 5 is "better". Better than what? According to you it was already perfect.
