Apple showed off its newest and most radical redesign of their iOS platform with the announcement of iOS 7. The operating system design features a new color palette (think Easter colors), a responsive background, more white space, and a cleaner look that eliminates the real world like elements (i.e. glare on icons) of previous versions.
The reaction across the web is best described as mixed, with some people praising the new look, and others wishing Apple left their popular design alone.
iOS 7 looks sick but it kinda looks kiddish to me, like something that would be in a children’s game haha idk

I think it’s the icons that are putting me off iOS 7. The rest of it is OK. — Paul Watson (@paulmwatson) June 10, 2013
The Easter Bunny called. He wants his color palette back from iOS 7. — Eric Zeman (@phonescooper) June 10, 2013
So other than the calendar, I haven’t found a single thing I like better about iOS 7 yet. This is troubling.

From comments from my very non-techie friends and family on FB, it seems iOS 7 is a hit.
