What Apple’s iOS 7 could be like [video] (thenextweb.com)

They call it "stunning", but I think it's not.

1) The slider. The slider is ugly! Apple wouldn't put an unlock slider on the top of the phone. That's just dumb. Most interactions with iPhone are (or should be) designed for 1-hand motion, and putting the slider on top makes unlocking with your thumb a real pain.

2) Inconsistency. Watch the video, some apps "pop" on the screen, some slide from top, some from the bottom... Apple wouldn't allow for such inconsistent behavior.

3) Widgets screen is a hazard. There is a lot of information there, but little elegance.

Overall, the concept looks cool, but it is certainly not 'stunning', and neither is it very functional. I feel like an Android lover was in charge of this concept.


Looks alright. Really don't like the look of the icons. They remind me of cheap Samsung phones.


Looks like Metro
