That's because most people are not LvL 6 who spend countless hours reading and testing apple beta stuff and knowing beforehand that the new OS *****. When our apple phone says "Download a new update?" most everyone will accept it, despite not having a clue what is in the update. Now everyone is being forced into using something some don't like. Most people would settle for a UI update that gave the option for the old look and feel.

That is exactly the Group Think that gave is iOS 7.

Strange you should mention that since Apple has a disdain and does not use focus groups when they decide to roll out new products. So I hardly think that Apple is guilty of groupthink.


LOL, oh man... that IS Group Think. If they used focus groups they would have had outside input and may have avoided this. They are operating in a cocoon. Obviously before they had senior leadership who made the right calls and right designs. Do you think anyone is going to tell Jony Ive's Ego he is wrong? A guy that makes product videos the way he does? Hardly. I doubt he can be "told" anything regarding design.

I don't mind the "look" so much as I mind the inability to changed the colors &amp; white text...I have another thread open where I asked about changing colors and someone posted that because they were color blind they could not see the green with white text at all. They initially had troubles answering the phone. The whites strain the eyes and the notes app is now just another word processor ( a word processor with yellow titles and buttons) ... If they just had other color options I think they would keep some customers.


Forgive me cause I read through a lot so I'm going to pick some topics I saw...


Maps: I refuse to even use it, did it kill me? No. But that is one place where Garmin and Google win. My car uses google my motorcycle uses Garmin so I'm covered. ( oh and I have the Google app). My iPhone is not the first thing I have ever thought of for that.


Siri: Might work better...don't know it rarely got much right so I only use it for reminders...but I did notice it won't tell me where to hide a body any more :D


Whiners: I don't think people in general upgrade and expect to have such a adverse reaction that they want to roll back. Personally,, I don't complain about much when it comes to upgrades..iOS 6 was fine, the bugs are par for the course with a new upgrade..I don't complain about FB changes, or twitter or other OSs like Microsoft. I even really like some of the underlying changes but not being able to read the screen, for me, is a deal breaker. I don't consider people with legitimate concerns whiners.
