Apple iOS 7
Apple’s latest model iOS 7 was unveiled at the WWDC it has been completely revamped no black and white design but much more colourful. Well still all these changes are not welcomed by all and sundry , for some feel the design has been taken from Android or Windows 8 or it is a union of both.
This is what the critics have to say
According to Aurich Lawson at Ars Technica, the influence of Windows Phone 8 and its live tiles cannot be denied on iOS 7. He in fact also points that the new shapes of the icons with more rounded corners strongly mirrors how apps looked on Nokia’s Symbian.He also points out that iOS 7′s app switcher for multitasking seems to be a rip-off from Palm Web OS cards. The only difference being that In Android, the multi-tasking bar shows all your open apps in a straight vertical line, while in iOS 7 it’s all horizontal.
Matt Buchanan, writing for The New Yorker, wrote that Apple’s design change needs to be seen in the present context. Apple, he says, is breaking away from its past designs which were literal. And it’s safe to say there’s nothing wrong with that, even it looks a lot like Android or Windows 8.
Frank Chimero writing on his blog, felt Apple’s design change was a rushed affair given that Jonathan Ive only had seven months to change it all.
Jon Gruber, writing on his blog Daringfireball.net, approved of the new design stating that it was anything but flat.Well the majority are of a view that iOS 7 has borrowed from Android and Windows phone and its design has still to cover along distance.
