Rather than look "Modern", the home screen looks like an amateur old Palm Treo theme.
IOS6 & IOS7
Ok, one is an old iPod but which one is the Palm Treo theme?

The bright blue, purple, pink, and yellow of the icons and in some of the apps.
Seems no more neon than my OSX dock...

It would seem that in the latest iOS 7, Much of apples design team has confused the line that separates simplicity with minimalism.
Take for instance the reminders app or the notes app.
Both redesigns in iOS 7 are hardly better in terms of usability.
And the minimal theme does little to make the app any more simple, with questions arising if the latest deconstruction of eye candy is leading to snow blindness in terms future functionality over graphical interface minimalism.
The same goes for the calendar app.
Yes it got a couple of newer features, but in regards to usability and simplicity it became more complex.
And now we have all these other short cut options such as swipe up, down across etc to reveal newer functions. but with all these extra short cuts to an array of extra functions, they only cater for an established market and not a new market.
If you put an ipad in the hands of a child, while naturally inquisitive .... they have been able to quickly understand how to achieve and get things done (understanding the function of the os) in a very short period of time. And while I am sure the differences will not be stark to this age bracket, it does highlight the differences of understanding the differences in design regarding simplicity and minimalism.
Personally, I see the latest direction of Apple management to be heading in the wrong direction .... and the line that will separate apple mobile from other forms of mobile OS systems is becoming ever smaller.
With android often offering bloated options and less graphically detailed icons, the line of separation that iOS is offering is becoming every smaller.
And with it, a key part of Apples past successful ethos.
That's not the home screen !!
Sorry, my fault!!
Can anyone (who has taken the time to click on each screenshot and looked at them in detail) out there honestly say the iOS7 shots are better?
To paraphrase Steve Jobs you have no taste.That's how i before i used it for a while.....

Ok - since you obviously do not know your history this may help you.
