Love THE icons!
All great designers are a head of its time.
I love the iPhone 5 with iOS7.
Apple couldn't have done it better.
Dumped Android and now I'm back and loving it.
PS: There's NOTHING to fix regarding icons. Shut up if you like to live in the 20th century.
Well that is you're opinion so why don't you shut up. IMHO the new icons are butt fugly because I'm not a 12 year old girl that likes pastel colors, I'm an adult professional and prefer more subtle colors. I'm also not sold on them wanting to make it look boring and flat like an android device, if I wanted android I would buy a device that supported it.
You clearly haven't used it. But, if you prefer anything else that does not seem to exist, then you should create it yourself instead.
See, he gets it!Does it fix the palette? I mean seriously did they make this UI for unicorns and fairies? Then there's the fact that some icons just look plenty worse. What's with the camera icon or Game Center (Are those bubbles? Gaming -> Bubbles, hmm, the logic is truly unparalleled)? And don't get me started on Settings.
On a side note, guess BGR's sources were pretty unreliable about the whole update thing. Guess naming your site MacRumors keeps you covered on reporting bad info. Doesn't help BGR none tho.
Why do you think the design is muddled? Maybe you didn't try iOS7, or you're stuck in the rules. Some rules are meant to be broken if it's done with some class. They're classy.
Please fix the horrid icons![]()
It has done it from the very beginning.
iOS 7 Beta 4 Reportedly Coming precisely a fortnight later than that.
BOOM! - "news"
There, just made my own "news" story in an instant...
So what makes you think I "clearly haven't used it"? I think the new UI is an attempt to make iOS look more "androidish" and the a lot of the colors used are hideous. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about when referencing me so maybe NOT assuming things would be a good start for you..... What you think?
See, he gets it!
I'm currently running ios7 beta 2 on my iphone4 and everything is running fine. But ive found that live backgrounds are not present on my phone anywhere in the settings and I was curious if anyone else with an iphone4 has noticed that live backgrounds are missing.
My opinion: I don't think it's a "bad" design, I just hope in final release, apple takes all these concerns and possibly tones down SOME of the colors (especially the green). Some are just TOO bright and hurt the eyes and make some text hard to read comfortably. Take the green call banner for example. It's simply TOO bright for the eyes to comfortably read the text at a glance..
As for the icons, I think this redesign mockup really nails it. Some depth, keeping the flat style, consistent, and beautiful. Apple should really hire some of these artists on dribbble instead of reaching out to their marketing team, which are good at.........marketing........to redesign app icons. It's like asking a waiter to cook a meal like a professional chef should. They'll probably make it, but it will never be the same thing.
I don't think dynamic wallpapers are available on the iphone4. I think it's 4s and up. Can anyone else validate this for him?
Interesting how you think a blank white rectangle outline is a better icon for photos than a modern derivative of the sunflower people are already used to.
Game Center reminds me of the Microsoft logo so NO GO.
I also don't like the exaggerated shadows. Make no sense.
Why does the Mail envelope have a red line on it? Does that make it a FANCIER envelope?
Why the HELL would the Apple Maps icon have a GOOGLE maps map pin icon on it? MAJOR FAIL.
Sorry, I don't like your icon examples. They are obviously created by an Apple hater for all the reasons I noted. Or the designer is truly clueless about branding.
Game Center icon is a million times better than the current Apple one. What do bubbles have to do with games?
