Stockholm Syndrome of the "horrible icons"

[JaySoul]

Clock, Calendar, Phone, Messages and Music. They are the only ones I care about because none of the other apps are stock.

As long as FB, Twitter, Chrome and co don't suddenly revamp to mental icons, it's not a big deal.

Run the same poll on android 2.3 vs 4.0 and close to 100% will say that 4.0 is a huge improvement.

Except that most of the users aren't even getting the redesign, as its being masked by the awful skins.

I think all of the icons are disgusting and hope they eventually change. It's on the verge of being a deal breaker, not quite but it was close. I have a feeling several of my male customers are going to shy away from iPhones in the future if they stay as they are.

I don't like the icons but I love having a fresh look. Perhaps Apple should get off their tight-wad and approve a developer altering icons for a price.

I'm so ready to get off of this jailbreak of which altering my icons is one reason for doing it but.. Apple is slowly making it easier and easier to do.

I can understand the general dislike of the Safari icon, but I don't see what people find so offensive about the settings icon. Is it because it looks like it will grind your finger up if you touch it? I admit, it's funny because I recall they already addressed this in iOS 6—that the gears looked too "toothy". As far as the best new icon, Music definitely has my vote.

Yeah, I feel like whatever is sticking to iOS will ultimately make it into OSX. They're definitely taking a step backwards with some of these design changes.
