Something about all the white and black just makes this versions of iOS look a bit bleak and lifeless in day to day use.. whilst the OS overall zooms along and is quite pretty, and perfectly functional, its now got that Android feel to it now, where before it was decidedly APPLE, you KNEW you where on an apple phone by the polish and style of the apps and how they fit together and looked and just "felt" right, now it just feels like a.n.other android phone with a carrier skin when using the built in apps, menus and "dynamic" skins.
Over all i think by dropping the Skumorphic stuff (because Ive doesn't like it) they have made the android competition now look like an easier jump for the average user, and making an android phone suddenly look a familiar place when upgrade time comes. (By average user, i mean the vast majority of mobile phone purchasers who buy a phone because they like the look and feel of it, something they can now get as an android phone, that looks , externally at least, like an iPhone, and now , interface wise it will as well)
Apple have gone from being the Ferrari at a Ford dealership to being just another 4 door saloon amongst the crowd at the interface level... shame really, ill be rolling back to 6.1.4 before the betas end, and holding on as long as the apps will let me come the new year at least my iPhone 5 will look and feel different to the masses of Android devices, and iPhones on iOS7 that look like android devices.

Im just glad they removed the stupid ".com" button. It was always getting in the way.
I really hope that if they put that back in the final release, there is an option to turn it off, hated it on android, but at least it was a configurable option then,
If you hit space with your right thumb, then its always .coming instead of spaceing
