If that's how it will look I'll stay with IOS 6. That looks awful. I'd expect a children's play phone to look like that. If this is the official release Apples iphone will be committing suicide.

Man that is UGLY.

Makes me want to watch the Partridge Family.

This may be the final push needed to go back to Android. Apple has lost it's innovative edge.

Whats wrong with the Partrige Family??????

Do you guys really pick your phones based on the look of the ICONs? Sad...

Part of the appeal of an Android phone or an iOS phone is the way the stuff on the screen looks. This is one of the reasons I would never consider a Windows phone.

Apple announces iTunes Radio - its own free streaming music service

I have to admit I'm not a big Apple fan but will give them credit for offering a free music service wish more did this.

Is it just me, or has the whole UI design field become disciples of Edwin Abbott, author of Flatland?

I've been seeing this for a while, and having seen the big unveil I see this as a me too. Take a look at Apple's weather and the Yahoo weather app to see what I mean. Too minimalist for my tastes, but I'm not everyone.

Well, the video of iOS did not look anything like that - and it looked elegant and yet simple.

And for $24.99 its commercial free for a year, which also includes iTunes Match. Not a bad deal at all.

I liked it.

I can't get to the Apple Developer site to download the beta. Will try again later.

I suspect the site will be busy for awhile. I'm still trying...

Edit: I just got connected and went to the member center where I was greeted with "We'll be back soon."

I like it. Im gonna download it as soon as they open the Dev site.

Your elegant and simple is my dumbed down and simplistic. It's flat icons floating over a wallpaper.

Seriously take a look at the flat interfaces of Yahoo / GMail / Win 8 and other stuff to see exactly what I'm talking about with UI design trending to the flat for everything.

Doesn't matter to me too much, as I only use iOS when I have to.

I like the new look. Also like how you can turn off Bluetooth without having to go into settings anymore . That's what I like about apple is their os is easy to use.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

It did not look terrible to me, and I don't think it is terribly flat - not given what I saw with the depth to backgrounds - but until I see it and not just in a quick video, it will be hard to judge. Too early for me to tell if it is dumbed down.

You do that, then report back here to tell us what apps no longer work.

Buh bye xm radio. For that price it's way cheaper.
