- I like watching you guys "discuss" it (even though it sounds like a hissy fit)monospaced
- it's absolutely adorable how iCanHazQBN hates it so muchmonospaced
- Mono, this isn't a message from whatapp. It's a message from the Phone asking for permission for an app to access something.iCanHazQBN
- ..to access something. That popup message is external of that app, it comes from the the iPhone OS.iCanHazQBN
- Do you understand that this is a system message? Or should I make more diagrams for you?iCanHazQBN
- I understand and I love watchign you bitch and whine. Keep up the good work.monospaced
- It's only "bitching and whining" when someone disagrees with you, right?iCanHazQBN
- It's the ios7 thread, and this is a design forum. So we are discussing the design of ios7...iCanHazQBN
- ...Why this bothers you so much... I have no idea. But you come across like a really over-sensitive guy.iCanHazQBN
- It bugs him because he owns 50 shares of Apple and thinks he's on the Board.ETM
- It's bitching and whining when you bitch and whine about something YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BUYmonospaced
- how did he know it was going to be shit until he bought it?fadein11
- monospaced always making it personal, if you disagree with mono you are a troll, moron...utopian
- lol ETMset
- he KNEW because there are 300 posts talking about it in this thread alonemonospaced
- You think 300 posts from QBN idiots is comparable to using something first-hand??iCanHazQBN
- ahaha...utopian
- it was at least a good idea of exactly how it would look and feel, but anyway, I'm donemonospaced

iOS7 is crap... I hate it. the icons alone just stress me out every time I look at them. What have they done...
- why did you upgrade then? why don't you just use a BETTER OS, like Android or Windows?monospaced
- Haha, monospaced is the only one hissy fitting around hereset
- I have nothing to complain about, I have a good iPhone 4 on iOS 6 that works wellmonospaced
- I just think the whining about the new OS is funny, how people complain as if it's the first time they've seen itmonospaced
- Design discussion on a design forum.set
- Design that most of us use on a daily basis, no less.set
- Yes. Saying over and over and over again that it's ugly is a good discussion. Keep it up, it's hilarious watching you suffermonospaced

Mono what's wrong with you? Go take your meds. Are designers on a design forum not allowed to criticize Apple's designs without being told to "go use Android or Windows"??
People upgraded to discover the latest and "greatest" from a leader in tech. We wanted to experience it first-hand and make the judgement from there. This "then why did you upgrade?" bullshit is annoying. It's not like we were jizzing all over iOS6.
- Also, you're like the least-objective person I've ever had the pleasure of not meeting. Now go check your Apple stock..iCanHazQBN
- stock.iCanHazQBN
- I never said you couldnt' criticize, I encourage it. I think it's healthy.monospaced
- And I like to think I'm incredibly more objective than "this is ugly"monospaced

I hate that you can't set Chrome as a default browser. That's shitty 2000 Microsoft tactics.

Why do you care so much mono? I really don't get it. As ICanHaz said - this is a design forum and the company most of us look to for best practice has released a shoddy piece of work on its most visible platforms. Surely fellow designers can point out the errors and discuss without you getting your knickers in a twist.
I'm sure you are a decent chap and a good designer but why do you feel the need to defend everything Apple orientated? Genuinely interested.- http://i.imgur.com/X…
HAHAset - Because he is a fanboy, apple shareholder and is beholden to Apple.utopian

- its getting boring now and making me not want to come here as much boohoo.fadein11

- I DON'T caremonospaced
- I just disagree that this is Apple's downfallmonospaced
- you secretly like itdoesnotexist
- I think it's a welcome change, and I'm not alone in that, obviouslymonospaced
- Mono doesn't care. he just has itch to respond... that's just mono.pango
- Must be brainwashed not to see the writing on the wall about Apple. Must buy more Apple stock.utopian
- We'll have to agree to disagree. We've been over this before. HOW LONG until Apple's dead?monospaced
- I mean, people have been saying it for so long, but they aren't even close to dying.monospaced
- but you all have every right to think that Apple will never, ever, EVER make a new product againmonospaced
- I just disagree, that's allmonospaced
- cool. you just seem a little too defensive on any criticism. but cool. well now thats all cleared up i'm off for tommy tankfadein11

Can anyone here answer this?
- Apple would not allow this. Jalbreak has yet to be release, I believe utopian.ideaist
- you could get an Android phone insteadmonospaced
- No thanks, but I do own a nice amount of Google stock though.utopian
- but an Android lets you change the icons!monospaced
- you have a point, they are also less expensive, the UI works, open source and shit.utopian
- right, that's why they're better and people should buy them instead of iPhonesmonospaced
- Yup!

This os is ugly as sin.
*queue: monospace*
- Once again, I never said it was pretty or that I liked it.monospaced
- So I must ask, if you think it's ugly, then why did you upgrade to it?monospaced
- jesus - because he hadn't seen it in action.fadein11
- he could have, just sayin'monospaced
- LOL. This is kinda fun in an insanely predictable kinda way!formed
- hahahamonospaced
- I am having a lot of fun watching designers here flip out, predictablymonospaced
- Not that I am saying the new design is awesome, jsut that I'm being entertainedmonospaced
- You have to upgrade at some point. Why ask a a less than intelligent/smartass question?instrmntl
- I don't, actually! I can buy any other phone.monospaced
- What's SMARTASS is "queue: monospace" when I never said anything about the OS lookmonospaced
- Cue, not queue.i_monk

I'd love to see a chart that compares iPhones vs all the other high-end equivalents, and not count 50€ pseudo-smartphones.

Honestly Apple is playing catch up to Android at this point. I'm not quite sure why everyone is clinging to iphone when there are clearly superior products on the market...but to each his/her own i suppose.
- I'll just put you through to monospacedfadein11
- yes, it's just catch upmonospaced
- it really is. Android has a far superior product....and I love Apple for desktop work....but they are losing the mobile battle.marychain
- it's not that clear. if you like apps that allow malicious code to get through and published, then by all means.doesnotexist
- imo, i think apple is leading the pack. mono can say whatever he wants and so can you.doesnotexist

iPad mini was the best thing they have done in recent times and that wasn't very innovative - just the realisation that the iPad is way too big.
- meanwhile, Samsung is on the bleeding edge of innovation with bigger screensmonospaced
- please don't say bleeding edge.marychain
- ok...if you must...go aheadmarychain
- but it sounds ....well.....gheymarychain
- not that there's anything wrong with thatmarychain

I don't mind it, and most of it is pretty nice, but I'm definitely met with that wonder of what Steve Jobs would say about it. His control over design direction was obvious: if something didn't measure up, it wasn't going forward. I can think of numerous things in ios7 that he would have never allowed. Everything up till now was HIS vision, executed by experts that knew how to cater to and pull off that vision
But he's not there anymore, and I think we're seeing the outcome of design by committee at Apple, where the results are sort of unified, but also produced a lot of quirks and errors that we've all noticed and talked about.
Take Safari for instance: the window switching doesn't match anything found anywhere else in the OS. The text at the top of each page is odd because it's skewed. Why not follow the same pattern that's applied to viewing recent apps with a left-to-right flat scrolling feature, which is basically how it previously worked? The Safari "tabs" are the most baffling thing to me. It's awkward, inconsistent, and doesn't solve a problem. The old way was fine.
It really makes me wonder how these big tech companies actually test anything, and why UX decisions are made as they are. I think ios7 suffers from a lot of good ideas that don't improve anything actually.
It makes me think of the new YouTube app, the way you have to swipe a video down to the bottom right corner, then across to close it. Why? Why that combination of hard-to-notice-at-first gestures? Was this tested with actual people? What was wrong with a back button to close a video?
So many tech companies are updating sites and apps at such a rapid pace these days; I think actual meaningful innovation and updating something because it seems like a good idea is really starting to blur together now.
Again, I don't hate ios7. I'm fine with it, I like a lot of things, the things I don't I'll get used to. But from a design perspective, I go back to what I said above about design by committee. Ivy is supposed to be this design god... If that's the case, who allowed yellow links on white background in notepad? Who thought white text on neon green was a good idea for text messages? These are things I just can't imagine an entire company letting go through; there had to have been enough detractors to say "woah, the contrast here is terrible," or something like that.
Thoughts?
- Woah, slow down David Foster Wallace. :)nikdaum
- totally agree about that youtube thing - totally pointless and irritating.fadein11
- I think you have hit the nail on the head. Apple attained near perfection in the past because of Jobs insane personality.fadein11
- I think your design crit is spot onmonospaced
