Draining your battery? iPhone Screens are LED Screens. They are powered by a backlight, that backlight drains the battery depending on the brightness, not the colors it’s backlighting. You’re thinking of android devices with OLED Screens. Dark backgrounds may or may not come, I think it’s too early to make a judgement call on that one, and while I disagree with you and I’m cool with the white, I hear that. So far that’s your only semi valid reason to dislike ios 7 though, cause small text, you can make larger, and you really don’t need to, are you sure you eyes are alright? My eyes suck balls and I see the text fine.

LOL, when an old person bitches about how he can’t read the new font on the iPhone. The iPhone isn’t designed for people your age. That’s a mistake Apple made before and seems to be trying to correct with new gestures and the new look. Go buy a dumb phone.

Plus we all bitched about it needing to catch up lol so when they listen and change things…. But hey some bitch no matter what you do

Let’s see if you feel the same when the design also makes it to your Mac. 😉

You’re at least giving me hope. I am basing my opinion not on actual use (yet). And as I mentioned, I do appreciate a well-designed app that is flattened. But if the whole experience is flat, I’m thinking it will look goofy and I’ll miss the depth of field that makes the current and previous iOS appealing.

I respectfully disagree. As Apple lovers, if anything we admonish Cupertino when they don’t change!

I think you hit on a good point: a narrow font and design elements will cut into how easy this is on the eyes. I’m sure it’s my age (over 40), but I don’t want to be reminded that it’s tough to see the already too-small screen (another complaint of mine).

If you don’t like the design of the logos no one force you to stick around so try not to be so thick skinned and go for a hike.

Have you seen the new graphics for the charging icon of a battery or the graphics for the Voice Recorder. The colors for the calculator. The use of white space is draining my battery all the time. Flat design will only work if you use darker backgrounds. And lastly, the typefont is too slender. It needs to be thicker for you to b eable to read at all.
