That whole "embrace change" is just buzz speak. Change for the sake of change is stupid. Change should be improvement and performance enhancing. I am not sure I can defend IOS 7 yet, based on this.
The thing I have liked most about being an APPLE user is the consistency in the GUI experience. The changes have always been evolutionary and logical. My first Mac SE (Dual Floppy) is VERY close in fit form and function to even my MacBook Air.
If you time warp sent my a new Mac Mini to me back in 1987, I am pretty sure I could have easily jumped on and started riding. I don't know if you could say this about the new IOS.
I have to say, there are many counter-intuitive changes in IOS 7.
This is about the closest I ever want to be to Windows 8. And Mac OS & IOS have been converging toward windows and vice versa.
I hate to say it, but I don't think Steve Jobs would have approved of many of the new "features" in IOS 7. Is seems like form and function has lost out too much to hip and cool on this.
