iOS 7 Interface Design is so UGLY!

[Triangle Man]

People keep explaining this point to you, but you don't seem to get it; short of getting another device, it is impossible to "just try it out for a few days." One can stick with ios 6 or make the irrevocable decision to upgrade, but those are the only two options. I would have already tried it out otherwise.

Anyway, I will try it out when I get my next Ipad.

I say that because that is the direction Apple is going in and you can't stay on 6 forever. Lemme repeat that, you cannot stay on iOS 6 forever. You'll eventually have to get a new device and you're going to have to use whatever OS that device ships with.

It's just a fact.

Even if you switch to a different phone company, you're still going to have to use something other than iOS 6. In my opinion, the other phone OSes aren't up to the quality that Apple's OSes are.

So that somehow lessens the idea of staying with it for now or for as long as it works for someone?

The analogy is wrong still. It's more in the lines that you married this beautiful and sophisticated girl, who then all of a sudden got into mid-life crysis and started taking drugs and act and dress like Courtney Love.

Better analogy.

You dated an attractive girl who look like your mono and then decided that was creepy so you dated an attractive girl who doesn't.

Of course cannot stay with any operating system forever. I don't see why that matters. In my opinion, just because one can't use ios 6 forever isn't a reason, by itself, for someone to stop using it now. I don't see the point in upgrading, unless the upgrade meets some need one has now.

Why not wait until there's some reason to upgrade, say until some software one wants requires it, or because one wants to upgrade to a device that requires it? Who knows what will happen in the meantime, after all; the future is unpredictable. Perhaps by the time one upgrades Apple will have improved the new os in response to user feedback, or perhaps the new device one is getting will run it more efficiently, or perhaps someone will come out with an amazing Android tablet.

For me the point is moot anyway, as I do have a reason to upgrade; the new retina minis coming out are very enticing.

Hated it when I saw it for the first time. I thought "This must be a joke, right?". Still detest it today.

I use it, but every time I see iOS6 I miss it. I think the gloss in iOS6 looks dated. But I think a revamped iOS6 design would have looked better than iOS7. However, I think a "less-flat" iOS7 like design would have looked even better. Kind of like what google did with Android kit-kat. They didn't make it overly flat like Apple did with iOS7.

My iPhone 5S is a worse experience for me than my iPhone 5 was with iOS6 (just my honest opinion). Obviously I appreciate the multitasking more and some more specific features, but that's still how I feel, specifically because of the design, but also because iOS7 is slowwww
