Are you seriously telling me you find the images on the right to be better looking?
This is probably the worst thing I have ever seen. It's worse than student work:
What the hell is this muddled mess???
Why does the new Call button need to be that big? Now the "Add Contact" button is squashed under the phone number for no reason. Their decisions no longer make any sense. What's the justification for this? And the sides of the Contact button don't even line up with the number buttons.
- I think they do. They still have problems but they're still better looking than 6ESKEMA
- change is good (even if the phone keypad is so bad it makes me laugh every time i use it)kingsteven
- if i had to make some sort of prediction based on the design, it's that they're making the os independent of screen size.kingsteven
- which could mean bigger iphones, but probably also part of their iOS in the car concept.kingsteven
- but yeah, 1 & 2 are an improvement in that noone that cares think < that wallpaper compliments the design.kingsteven
- no.. the new icons are so glaring and saturated that NO background compliments them.iCanHazQBN
- They are not as bright live. Unless you use your brightness settings to the max.ESKEMA

'iPhone 5S fingerprint sensor hacked by Germany's Chaos Computer Club'

- exactly, about as much use as me telling you my passcode is 6546!kingsteven
- except i would need to send you my phone AND a 1200dpi image of my thumb for it to be any use.kingsteven
- and then you can download some apps to use on my phone... :s great.kingsteven

- Well there's a different shape to the phone, and I modified some icons. Just wanted to share the changes.Presta
- oh, hahamonospaced
- Icons: colors are a bit stale, but I like the cohesion and chunkyness. Camera icon is good, compass could be better.lnu
- They remind me of pre-Microsoft Nokia. I don't like the overall result but it might just be the colours.raf

Sloppy UI :

- mid (split second) tween after you send a message? it's actually quite a pretty animation imho.kingsteven

"German group claims to have hacked Apple iPhone fingerprint scanner"
Goes on to say how easily they fooled the print (basically how the movies do it) detection.
So much for that idea! Ha.

I'd guess that most phones are stolen by opportunist thieves and not by someone who is going to have previously taken a photo of your fingerprint and are going to create a fake finger to swipe 'open' your phone.- Perhaps. but your prints will be on the phone, no?formed
- CCC haven't lifted prints yet. just from a photo. when they do, that's news...kingsteven

- i guess it's important that people understand that its for convienience + not secure.kingsteven
- meanwhile 'more convenient + secure than a passcode' still holds.kingsteven
- it's LESS secure than a passcode. You can't change your fingerprints.zarkonite

Sure, it won't matter for most (what do I care?). But when you start talking "secure checkouts" and thinking that if someone accessed your phone they could buy things. That's a different story.
- sure, if you get hacked you can always reset your fingerprints...kingsteven
- The finger print is supposed to make purchases secure. The "hack" is using your print to access your phoneformed
- you guys are freaking over nothing, y'knowmonospaced

FYI, fingerprint can't be lifted from the phone, no matter what. Unless you're talking about dusting, which has been in practice for 100+ years and its far more practical.
- You just need a 69$ scanner: https://vimeo.com/75… - it's actually REALLY easy.zarkonite

Why there's no reason to fear the fingerprint security (copy/pasted blurb):
*Somewhere in your device will be your file so that it can take that information and reuse it.*
First of all, there's a dedicated "enclave" in the iPhone 5s processor that's used solely for the purpose of storing encrypted data related to Touch ID. Its only connection to the rest of the iPhone's hardware is a function to say, "Touch ID check OK/Fail." The notion that someone could grab this data via a Bluetooth connection is ludicrous Hollywood "hacking" BS.
Second, the iPhone doesn't actually store fingerprint data in the first place. The iPhone 5s maps your fingerprint and converts that into a string of data (a one-way hash), then holds onto that chunk of data. The next time you put your paws on the phone, the same hashing process produces another data chunk; the two chunks -- not the two fingerprint images -- are matched up to allow access. In fact, assuming the hashing process works the same way as it does for existing iPhone passcodes, the fingerprint data is encoded in a way that's specific to that individual phone (salted). Copying it anywhere else would be useless. [Have we been hearing about hacker gangs remotely stealing iPhone passcodes via magical processes to use them elsewhere? No, we have not -- and if we had, it would almost certainly be via social engineering or visual spying as the phone is unlocked, both of which are impossible with Touch ID. –Ed.]
Anyone who somehow managed to access the iPhone's Touch ID circuitry and extract the hashed data would just find a string of alphanumeric gibberish, not a 3D-printable set of whorls and ridges ready to be turned into a latex Mission:Impossible-style fake finger. My TUAW colleague Dr. Richard Gaywood, who knows a thing or two about this stuff, says turning that data back into a readable fingerprint "would be like taking a cake, eating half of it, smashing the rest up with a fork, then giving it to someone and asking them, 'How much did the whole cake weigh, and what message was written on the icing that was on top of it?' "
Besides, why go to all that trouble? If someone has your iPhone, and they want your fingerprints, they can just use a little-known technique called "dusting for fingerprints" and physically pull your prints off the outside of the device. I understand various law enforcement agencies have been utilizing this technique for around a century and a half now.
The common concern I've heard repeated often (sign of the times) is, "What if the NSA gets ahold of my phone? They'll get my fingerprints! And then they'll... they'll use them. They'll use my fingerprints to do their shady NSA stuff! YEEARGH!"
I'm not concerned with the NSA getting fingerprints off my phone. That's because my fingerprints are on file with the FBI and have been for nearly 20 years. Thanks, US military! And you're welcome, NSA! I figured I'd make life easy for you.

Overall, I don't hate it.
iMessage is a bit of a clusterfuck, though. Anyone else experiencing issues? i'm not receiving text messages until hours later and if/when I do they sometimes disappear inexplicably while still showing me an icon badge for a new one. Hmph.- probably has more to do with your service provider than the update, but what do I know?monospaced
- Meh. Could be. It worked perfectly before the update though so I'm not making too much of a leap.Gucci
- ATT has screwed up my texts like that before.formed

Apple Geniuses!
For a few German hackers, breaking Apple’s much-hyped fingerprint reader seems to have been little more than a one-weekend project.

Less than 48 hours after the iPhone 5s went on sale, a group of German hackers claimed to have lifted a fingerprint and created a fake finger that could spoof Apple's "advanced" biometric technology. But anyone who's been paying attention to biometrics wasn't surprised.

From what I've seen of ios7 so far, there seems to be a lot of floaty helvetica light.
The problem seems to be that if you're going to do large, light Helvetica you need lots of white space around it to make it readible and aesthetically pleasing. The problem is real estate on a phone screen is very limited, so what you end up with is a lack of typographic hierarchy, it seems harder to read and process the information than before. I wish the typography had been more considered, and the use of space.Imagine the screenshots below are print designs, I could find a lot wrong typographically, especially once there is quite a lot of data
- But they're not print designs?detritus
- I think it looks quite legible; better than before.monospaced
- ... and no one's actually having a problem with usability. I think you need to broaden your scope to judge this properly.zarkonite
- An interactive device has very little to do with a print piece. The responsiveness and user flow has more to do with comprehension than just straight legibility. The user asks for information and expects a return, the information being served is done on demand. You're not pushing info out and making people read it like you do in print.zarkonite
