The fact that they are almost indistinguishable is the reason why iOS7 felt so refreshing. It wasn’t just Maps: iOS was developing slowly.

[@Ranger1812]

Dracogame UI and UX aren't the same thing. That's a false equivalence. iOS 6 looking like it's predecessors has nothing to do with its function, just as iOS 14 is very similar-looking but massively more usable than iOS 7.

[@Dracogame]

@@Ranger1812 No man, iOS 6 wasn't just similar looking to iOS 5. I clearly remember that time. iOS4 was fire. iOS5 was kind of a let down. iOS6 was when the hype kinda died. Then they showed iOS7. On top of that, iOS7 shares some design philosophy with iOS14, but between the two a lot has changed. Buttons, fonts, design language... It's completely different.

[@OroborOSX11]

As an iOS engineer working on apps well throughout that era, you’re forgetting a key issue with iOS 7. The radical UI/UX changes in such a short time made developing apps for iOS hell. Often apps had to maintain compatibility with both design languages, UIKit was extraordinarily buggy, and app experiences just felt very unpolished and broken, especially from Apple’s own apps. It wasn’t until iOS 10 that things SLOWLY began to take shape into the level of cohesion and polish that we’re only just now starting to have again with iOS 14.

[@faithzero6338]

Agreed ios 7 was very buggy and apps just crash for no reason especially games.

[@Jamil-ny7pi]

Yep. Minecraft began to crash since then, I guess

[@slob5041]

I am getting bored of this iOS design, it looks almost the same since iOS 7 only some changes were made, I think a 3D design would be cool.

[@prorace_type_r]

At the beginning, I think I remember hating on logos that were increasingly looking stupidly unrealistic. But nowadays I like the simplistic UI we have today. I think it's more tidy, to be honest. Makes things easy to identify on screen. Although, for example, W10 was too extreme for my taste, everything being a still color and such.

I feel like Apple products had more personality back then. My 2009 MacBook I'm using right now to type this still looks great to me, almost 10 years later. It's aged decently. I've upgraded it to 8GB of ram, now it just needs an SSD. The old Core 2 Duo processor is a bit lacking though. I'm debating getting a new touch bar 13" MacBook Pro. The configuration I want is 2,200 USD. I'm not really sure if I want to spend that much. Might have to take a test drive on the normal MacBooks and the Air at a Best Buy or Apple Store before settling on a Pro. Not sure if I really need the Pro's power. I'm not good at knowing what specs are really that good for Mac, since I'm mainly a PC guy. So the low clock speeds on the Air and normal MacBooks just sounds bad to me. But macOS is very optimized.

[@TeboeCubes]

Nikko M yeah idk why people don't like the new Subway logo, and new logos in general

[@TackKeyNack]

They're much more memorable, less tacky and more straightforward right now. I like how an icon would represent the whole theme of an app, e.g. Facebook having a blue icon with a white 'f' then having the blue ribbon up top with white spaces. It's just much more uniform and clean, whilst being memorable enough to not be confusing.

[@21Shells]

Skeuomorphism wasnt removed, it was reduced. The apps themselves were no longer skeuomorphic, but the icons used for actions and apps still remained as skeuomorphs. For example, the camera app went from a more realistic icon of a camera, to a less realistic one. It didnt become less skeuomorphic, it doesnt represent a camera any less, but it was less detailed. It was only skeuomorphic where necessary, where it actually helped make the UI more usable. I think UI on older operating systems, while visually pretty, was actually pretty bad for productivity, especially for multitasking. Modern UI has its only beauty, from its functionality.

TheTelephonePrankster At the time of iOS 6’s announcement, the KZbin app was still planned to be included. However, it would be removed when iOS 6 was still in beta (before final release) as Google ended their support for the native app. The following image is probably from a press release when iOS 6 was just announced.
