Apple's New iOS 7 - Here Are 13 Headline Reviews

Today's blog topic focuses on what the IT world is saying about Apple's long-awaited iOS 7 - released two days ago this week.

I will not comment personally - I really can't at this point not being exposed to it at all; However, it's amazing how much info one can learn about it, just by reading a collection of the headlines!!! 

Here we go... in no particular order… my two favorites are at the end 

  • A Bold New Look in a Major Make-Over - But Will Take Some Getting Used To
  • Colorful, Stark, and "Tres Minimaliste"
  • iOS 7 - Better than iOS 6 but less than Android
  • Looking to Bigger Things? - Swipe Away!
  • Big Changes Mean a Worthwhile Upgrade For You
  • Massive Make-over Makes iOS Feel New Again 
  • Simultaneously Transformational and Incremental 
  • Breathes New Life into the Apple Ecosystem 
  • iOS7 - New Apps, New Control Center & A New Look!
  • A New Look and a New Beginning
  • A Winning Combination - iOS7 + the New iPhones

...and my faves….
  • iOS 7 Redefines Industrial Design through "EVIL" Skeumorphism  (and yes, I had to look it up, Skeumorphism refers to design features that leverage the comfort that users have with the original version - example on the IPhone camera, the click when you snap a photo is an audio click but in older cameras, that was the shutter closing etc..)
  • iOS 7 - Everything Improved and iTunes Radio Recommendations "Frighteningly Accurate" 

Enjoy iOS7 everyone - and have a nice weekend!

Til next week!

  1. I actually like it more than I thought I would. But there still are some bugs:
    - Try copying and pasting a text message
    - Try using the AirDrop feature
    - They took away the slideshow button from the iPad lock screen. (Boo!)
