Re: [iPad] 9to5Mac Article on iOS7

 


Yeah, I hope they've done plenty of good homework on this.  Changing because the rest of the crowd are changing is sometimes necessary, but it can be a mistake if your clients don't like it.  Sometimes I wonder what auto designers are thinking when they all suddenly move in a weird direction together.

How can it enhance usability? The current icons are not loud or in your face, or off putting, they are a nice blend of design and appearance. That's what Apple is good at, design for the user.

You're not envisioning what I am. It seems this dulling of the elements and app specific color themes will greatly enhance usability in my book.

Sounds to me like Apple is heading backwards.  I don't want the ugly flat icons Windows 8 charms are. That a 20 yr old look.

Well, there you go.  We're old fogies, with outdated tastes.  Apple has to keep running to stay up with the consumers.  If minimalism is cool, they'll build to please.

Dumbing down, dulling up, taking the real-world-look out of it...

I don't think much of the direction this style is taking, if the rumors to
turn out to be true.

But then, I'm certainly not in a demographic that they are aiming at, so
what I think doesn't matter, I'm just an old fogey who actually knows what a
pad of paper *looks* like (so I'm not confused by the representation of one
as a notes-app icon).

Dont follow your point

Are you referring to the dumbing down of the icons?

On the whole -- IMO, yuck.

Sounds like a lot of "now I'm in charge, so I'll make changes because I can,
not to make things better but so it'll be *my* system, and *my* system has
to be *different* from the old one no matter what."
