Re: iOS 7 announced
As a designer I have to say I hate the icons, other than that small things like changing how you delete texts and emails irk me, you had a simple and elegant system in place for this, just swipe to the right, now they changed it to the left and added items, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Sometimes change for the sake of change isn't good.
My designs tend to me minimalistic whenever possible so I like the design over all. I miss being able to look at a year view on the calender and see my how booked I am using the color coded progression, I'll live without it I'm sure it won't be the death of me.
That being said, I like the new camera controls, much easier to one hand now, the 'photo to video' switch always used to bug me.
Siri now starts to process phrases before you pause, it's so much faster it's amazing, I also like being able to say "How are the redsox doing?" and have Siri tell me and show me the box score from the current game, or say "The Red Sox lost to the Orioles 5-3", so the new siri is a big win and not just for that, across the board.
I like the iTunes radio as well, sure there are 65 of them out there but it's nice to have one baked into the system. (also using siri control).
Haven't had a chance to do that much with it yet but that's are my initial observations.
