Iphone users: opinion on IOS7?

So personally I think it is ugly. It looks too cartoonified and it is trying too hard to look like android. It no longer has the "iPhone look" and I'm pretty disappointed.

Your opinions?

I like it, it runs smoothly and I also think it suits the iPhone (my opinion)

I like the new style, but your right, It looks more like android crossed with windows 8. I hate how they got rid of the quick tweet and quick post from the notification centre. I like it but I'm definitely downgrading to iOS6

I stay away from iPhones. But it looks like Android so I kinda like it… Kinda. If you had an Android, you could make it look like anything you want…

I had a course last year called Human-Computer Interaction. We had to design an interface (a prototype) for a mobile app. We should respect the HCI design principles (such as visibility, consistency, affordance, feedback, mapping, constraint, etc.). One of our fellows designed an interface for a social music player to which IOS 7 resembles so much (that interface was designed last year). The first time I saw IOS 7, I was shocked, because I had a clear picture of that design in my mind. I think Apple either has copied another design, or has employed a group of HCI experts/advisors. Although, in early days it may look weird/uncomfortable, it's designed based on HCI principles. I believe it creates a better interaction experience for users as time goes forward.

PS:
Don Norman is the pioneer of HCI and user-centered design. His design principles are an essential part of HCI science nowadays. You can refer to his articles just in case you're interested in interaction design principles.

Its naaasty

Well I think that the features are good but it looks dreadful and yes Apple have indeed ripped off Android on this one and that is coming from someone who has had iphone for 2 years and is about to get my next on upgrade.

Seriously I like iphone but my choice to stick with them was not automatic, i did look into other phones too.

I currently have the 4s and let's be honest here ios7 slows the hell out of anything below the iphone 5, everyone I know is saying the same thing, if I wasn't upgrading I would have gone back to ios 6 for the 4s so it seems to me that Apple allowed this download on older phones to avoid getting slack but it is not really ideal for them which is a disappointment for the users that can't or do not want to upgrade and were led to believe ios7 would be all good on their devices, it also drains the battery on my current 4s.
