System default apps like Email, SMS are right to left.
It used to all be left to right...
Really? I recall always using right to left for those kinds of purposes in apps like that. Perhaps it worked both ways before, and now just been limited to right to left, which is something that has been associated more with dismiss/delete type of actions in general.System default apps like Email, SMS are right to left.

There wont be an iOS-gate but im willing to bet the barn we will have finger-gate for the 5S. Then Apple will tell everyone they are fingering it wrong.
The animations are sped up in their product demo videos on the site... If they don't feel people will like it when advertising, why make them so slow in the actual thing?
The animations need to be sped up, and you need to be able to open apps and swipe before animations are finished (you can already do this in folders, just not when unlocking or closing an app).
Horrible on iPad 4 with the powerful A6x?
In my iPad 3 it's terrible!
Yep. I'll agree to that. It's soooo nice being back on ios 6 on my ipad. What a mess ios 7 is on ipads. My 4S is pretty stable though. Sows their lack of thought put into the ipad version.
For me it's not acceptable for a Apple.
Other SO it's laggy and Buggy.
iOS 5-6 it's fast, no lag, etc...
Ios7 in the iphones it's very acceptable, in the iPad (in the 3 it's terrible) it's slow, laggy...
I think Apple release in october iOS 7.1 whit big improvement for ipad's
I'll be waiting for the "the silver ring gives me an electric shock every time I try to unlock my phone" -gate.
Well... the swipe to delete direction has changed so it's right to left...
Really stupid
In iOS 6, the delete swipe-gesture direction was left-to-right and right-to-left. They simply removed the left-to-right gesture on iOS 7.
I think it's going to be a combo of the new design and the bugginess of the GM. While I imagine a good number of people will like the new look, a bunch more will not and Apple has done very little to prepare them for the radical changes that will be coming when they click that update button. The average iPhone user does not pay attention to Apple keynotes. Both my parents and my grandmother had no idea whatsoever that iOS 7 was different or coming next Thursday.
If that was the only problem, Apple could probably work through it. Mind you, they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble through a more concerted campaign to educate their customers about the changes that were coming. But, they would make it. However, the GM is shockingly buggy for a public release. I have run into more bugs in the past day with the GM on my iPhone 5 than I did in 3 weeks with beta 6. And the situation is even worse on the iPad. I'm really surprised Apple is allowing the software to be released in this state (especially the iPad version).
If it was just the new look, or just the bugs, I think Apple would be ok. I don't know how consumers are going to feel about a radical redesign that is also buggy. I know I'm not super thrilled.

I agree. It is extremely unlikely Apple comes out with a new feature like this that works as advertised. That's really asking too much. They've never pulled it off before.
Child Labour-Gate
Not because of workers in Foxconn or Pegatron, but the 5 year old they stuck in a room with a box of crayola crayons to design the new icons.

It'll be related to Touch ID for sure. Potential for Apple version 1.0 blues are off the scale with that I suspect.
"I'm locked out of my phone! My house price has plummeted! Those pesky foreigners taking our fingerprints!" - Daily Mail, Oct '13.
I assume there'll be a failsafe pin to fall back on if the Touch ID won't let you unlock, rendering the Daily Fail headlines moot of course. I will be interested in how effective it is though, I like the idea. Happy with my unlocked contract free 5 right now though, look forward to version 2 in the iPhone 6.

But left to right was the most common.
Stock email for example, Stock notes, etc...
Was it? I always used it right to left, and quite a few others I know of did it that way too.
