Apple finally unveils completely redesigned iOS 7 - RIP skeuomorphism - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Panda X;40977305]Yes, that isn't going to destroy my eyes if I've just woken up or get a message at night.[/QUOTE] Yeah it's so much brighter than the current version? Right? [img]http://i.imgur.com/6AVxKnz.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=garry;40977333]Yeah it's so much brighter than the current version? Right? [img]http://i.imgur.com/6AVxKnz.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] It's not as bad with the adjusting backlight intensity, but the difference between pure white and a mid gray blue is significant enough.

Well to be honest I would rather keep iOS 6 than "upgrade" to this.

This update looks intuitive and refreshing. I'm excited for it. I don't know why most people are tweaking out over it. I also like that you can use your connection to make calls directly from the phones now. I hate skype, and when I'm not in my country I can stay in touch simply with my phone now. [editline]10th June 2013[/editline] Did they give an estimated release?

Won't lie, this looks much better than the old glossy shitty look. Looks more like a reskin than a new design tho.

I like the new icons but why are they so inconsistent? Some have shadowing on the bottom and others don't.

-snip never mind

That Game Center icon better fucking be a placeholder, it totally doesn't fit in.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;40977114]I think I'll stick to my outdated version of the OS, simply because it has a working built-in maps app. Not to mention my 3GS would probably have a hard time with a new os.[/QUOTE] I thought only iPhone 4 and above would get the update, you may be safe.

Looks a lot like meego.. Can't wait to see how it looks on an actual phone though.

[quote][img]http://puu.sh/3cJXN.png[/img][/quote] Holy shit, that looks awful.

Personally. I love it.

It could use less color (see sp00ks' post above that looks like a rainbow jizzed on the UI) but it's a step in the right direction.

Icons looks really cheap. I mean just a 1-minute photoshop gradient or something like that. Then they charge 600 euros for this. No offence but needs more minimalism.

[QUOTE=ItsMozy;40978051]Personally. I love it.[/QUOTE] most of it it's a start, I doubt some of the most disliked aspects of the new GUI (like that cluster fucked settings menu) will last long

Would anyone mind activating my UDID? PM me please.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;40978157]It could use less color (see sp00ks' post above that looks like a rainbow jizzed on the UI) but it's a step in the right direction.[/QUOTE] The rainbow jizz is a slight seethrough of the back ground. If the background would be black an there would be no icons it would be just gray. But that would leave you to only the top 2 rows to use. And that's kinda retarded. :v: [editline]10th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=The Baconator;40978282]most of it it's a start, I doubt some of the most disliked aspects of the new GUI (like that cluster fucked settings menu) will last long[/QUOTE] I'm kinda addicted too change, so I gotta say I love it all. But I got to agree. The functions it has to offer is some I sought for a long time. But it does look kinda spazzy. I can imagine people gettin headaches from it.

Apple is playing catch up and it's awesome for iOS users because they are getting more features.

reason why it looks like this is that they don't have steve jobs to bash whatever they do not saying that it looks great or anything. it's not awful tho

[QUOTE=sp00ks;40977934]Holy shit, that looks awful.[/QUOTE] Well at least the guy had a good sense in music

[QUOTE=ItsMozy;40978373]The rainbow jizz is a slight seethrough of the back ground. If the background would be black an there would be no icons it would be just gray. [/QUOTE] but the way iOS works there's always icons beneath it.

God damn it fuck this eye-candy shit and let me delete those useless shit icons I won't ever fucking use.

I honestly prefer the look of IOS6 to this

[QUOTE=DogGunn;40976189]I'm sure they've consulted a few dozen [I]IP lawyers[/I].[/QUOTE] You mean people that would do anything for money? They're securing their own employment and retirement fund, nothing more.

Some of those app icons look like they were made in 10 minutes

I think it would less like a fisher price toy with a different wallpaper

That's really painful to look at. I like the effort, but not a fan of the product. They could have and should have done better. My iPhone and iPad will remain on iOS 6 until they make it less painful.

[QUOTE=redBadger;40976606]looks like shit tbh [editline]10th June 2013[/editline] reading this thread: so when windows does simplified stuff it is bad, but when apple does it it's okay? what?[/QUOTE] With the level of Skeumorphism Apple had before, it would hard to make it [I]TOO[/I] simplified. They still fucked up in other aspects though.
