iOS 6 vs. iOS 7 User Interface Element Comparison [Image]

Posted June 17, 2013 at 1:06am by iClarified
We already showed you an icon comparison of iOS 6 and iOS 7, but now developer Mpow has put together a comparison of the different UI elements in the operating systems.

Taking a look at the comparisons, you can really see how Apple stripped away a lot of the textures, gradients and gloss from iOS in favor of a more "flat" interface.

What do you think of the changes?

How about Apple try something new, innovate? Give us options, such as themes and do this without forcing us to jail break the phones.

Overall the subtle outlines and "thin" font makes it difficult to pick out what you need/want to do, especially at a glance in bright light. Overall more contrast and delineation would allow a faster more accurate interaction. Further, eliminating metaphors in the "look" of an app built for a particular market segment can be problematic. It is well-known that these market segments will only shift away from the familiar way of doing things if the app is designed around the professional user's tried and true methods. Many times these UI/UX approaches are counter intuitive causing the user to get frustrated both in the amount of time to learn how to use it while also trying to adapt to an unfamiliar.

Yay! Regressive design! I love UI changes that make my interface look like it was from a decade ago or a Chinese mid-range knock-off!

The people who made the previous UI probably had a degree and obviously a good job but these new designs could have been created in MS Paint while the previous designs required nothing less than Photoshop or something at that level. I'm sure these guys love having less work to do because they're certainly not concerned about being proud of their products.

As an American I will always support an American company... unless a foreign company was making better products but that's not happening yet.

Pls release a jailbreak for iOS 6.1.4 so we can stick until iOS 8 releasing! Hate iOS 7 UI design!

Some features' looks are more about the same as an ugly design of Android. Eg. The downloading bar.

Your 2002 had colour? No I didn't think so.

iOS 7 as it is given to developers, has many bugs, like you can't redial most recent received or dialled call because it hides under top navigation bar. Scrolling of contacts is confusing. Slow response makes multiple photo delete in image roll.

Yes, you are right. Incredible, I have to sell my iphone quickly before final release. Otherwise, everyone will say: You have a mix of shitdroid and windows ui. That's sething I really don't want
