Interesting that iOS 7 sometimes eliminates a step.

My kids' principal knows I'm knowledgeable on this stuff. He grabbed me this morning to ask how to find airplay on his ipad now that he is on iOS 7.

Indeed! This is what happens when you change something. It will be interesting to see if in the long term people feel that it's simple.

Very comprehensive actually, this is quite an impressive piece of work.

Have you thought of writing up a short-form piece on your conclusions on the main differences between iOS6 & 7 UX-wise?

Thank you so much! We want to leave the site neutral. The one thing we want to introduce is some comments from people who worked on it or some data around usability.

+1 Great piece of work!

Is that reduction in softness and use of glaring colors the default interface? It looks quite a horrible change and makes it look similar to other phone ecosystems...

Otherwise the UX changes look quite good in general.

I have created UX Archive with my friend Chris, let me know if you have any question or feedback!
