I can tell YOU aren't a developer and have no business installing iOS 7. If You WERE you would KNOW, that Voice Memos isn't available in THIS beta, It was stated in the release notes. You would ALSO know that the Weather widget is in Notification Center in a new form, and the other two widgets aren't available yet.
Got a tip for us?

Is it just me or the new iOS 7 making the iPhone feels like a cheap toy?

Is it reasonable to assume that it's still pretty early in the game and that things could change before actual release, such as polishing up the icons, as a result of feedback directly to Apple?
Havent even finished watching the vid, and I want it!
I was dead against the idea of a flat UI...we'd taken 10 years to develop what we now have. But I gotta say, it actually looks great. Do wonder how itll look on a black iPhone, but hey, small issue.
Swap to andriod? Someone, please, pass me a spoon, I want to cut my heart out!!!!

I think it is just you OP. I think its a nice evolution of an already nice OS. I'm really looking forward to updating, bring it on. 
With a home screen as cluttered and obnoxious as that, I can see why you would consider the new design "ugly".
I do agree with you. How much I do love the new interface, I think Apple needs to tone down the color. Really... maybe just a little bit. Right now I think the colors are too "neon-y", too bright...
I agree with you. In a few years all this Ive design philosophy will be outdated and in need of a serious redo. I don't think this design has the legs that the original design does.
Yes, the existing design was a game changer, just like the iPhone was, for its day. But really, if not a interface redesign, all we'd get each year would be a faster way to do not much more!
Green felt, faux linen, stitched leather, wood grain and gloss have legs but black and white with splashes of color doesn't?
A few might leave, but the thing is way more will join, making it on balance a worthwhile change. I guarantee you sales will go up thanks to this change.
It's extremely simple yet beautiful and accessible. The only way I could be happier would be if there was a quick reply function for Messages. It definitely doesn't look like a cheap toy. It looks like a modern UI run by the most beautiful hardware (HTC One has the best looking front face but the back is hideous).
The thing i have said before about the older "feel" is that the icons etc made the screen "pop". Since it had retina icons for a retina display. Now it seems to me, that without the retina icons. The display is minimilistic. It doesn't "pop" out to the eye as much. I also think it gets thrown off as some of the icons look flat, and other apps still have the retina icon. So it looks off. Maybe once all the apps are updated to this flat design it won't look as bad. But we would have to wait till all of the developers update their apps to look uniform with the OS.
Me.
The majority of the new icons look like a (bad) work in progress.
I can appreciate the in app layout but the icons must have been plotted out by the Samsung CEO.
That's a bit of a stretch.
On topic though I prefer the new look of iOS over the old.
I really would like people to specify whether they've installed it and used it before commenting.
I've just downgraded. In my opinion it looks amateurish and unbalanced with a distinct lack of refinement. I suspect while there will be some who try it and like it the majority of the posters defending the new look are only going my youtube walkthroughs and the keynote.
At the moment - it is a train-wreck.
