Snippet: Radical Redesign is More Than Skin-Deep ☍

Dan Moren reviews iOS 7:

I’ve spent a decent amount of time with iOS 7 since its debut earlier this year. I like it. There. I said it. I’m pro-iOS 7. To me, the new interface looks sleek and clean and modern. It smacks of purpose-driven design. Whenever I returned to my iOS 6 reference devices, the interface seemed funny and cartoonish—the same way I think the early Aqua stylings of OS X would look from the vantage point of Mountain Lion. The world has moved on, and a smartphone OS today doesn’t need to do the same thing that it did six years ago when the market was still brand new.
