No
I wish there would be an update in iOS 7 to switch to the new look of ios 7 and the old look of ios 6
Apple policy does not support downgrading from the current operating system to a previous version. This is because newer operating systems contain many bug fixes and firmware upgrades that are difficult to roll back.
I too hate the new look! It looks CRUDE ! Pls give us an option to revert back to old look and feel.
Apparently, customer preferences, choices, or options have little to do with management decisions. FaceTime is now the only Apple feature I enjoy.

This topic has been discussed ad nauseam, these threads might give you some ideas on dealing with the changes. As was mentioned by others, leave Apple your feedback on the matter at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ Good luck!
Agreed! It's cheap, nasty, tacky, hard to read... Massively disappointing and am disgusted that there is no option to keep my old look. I have submitted feedback as suggested... PLEASE ADD YOUR FEEDBACK if you haven't already... Been an iPhone fan since the beginning but AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CHANGING PHONES AND ABANDONING APPLE - ios 7 is just yukky! 😟

OK. Here's the credentials of the guy that decided on the cheap, nasty, tacky, hard to read look:
In 1999, Ive was named by the MIT Technology Review TR100 one of the top 100 innovators in the world under age 35.[14]
In 2003, he was the winner of the Design Museum's Designer of the Year Award, the first given.[6]
In 2004, he was named the "Most Influential Person on British Culture" by the BBC.[15]
In 2005 The Sunday Times named Ive one of Britain's most influential expatriates.: "Ive may not be the richest or the most senior figure on the list, but he has certainly been one of the most influential as the man who designed the iPod."
A 2006 Macworld magazine poll listed Ive's joining Apple in 1992 as the sixth most significant event in Apple's history, while Dan Moren, a writer at MacUser magazine (a subsidiary of Macworld), suggested in March 2006 that, when the time came for Steve Jobs to step down as the CEO of Apple, Ive would be an excellent candidate for the position, justifying the statement by saying that Ive "embodies what Apple is perhaps most famous for: design."[16] However, Jobs was succeeded by Tim Cook, the company's former COO.[17]
In 2007, the UK edition of GQ magazine named Ive "Product Designer of the Year."[18]
In 2007, Ive received the 2007 National Design Award in the product-design category for his work on the iPhone.[19]
In 2008, he was named the No. 1 "Most Influential Briton in America" by the Daily Telegraph.[20] Creativity Online included Ive in their "Creativity 50" list.[21] The same year, he was awarded the MDA Personal Achievement Award for the design of the iPhone.[22]
In 2009, Ive received an honorary doctorate from the Rhode Island School of Design,[23] and honorary doctor of the Royal College of Art.[24] Also in 2009, Fast Company put him at No. 1 on their list of "100 Most Creative People in Business;[25] the Daily Telegraph named him the second "Most Influential Briton in Technology,[26] Forbes magazine listed him as second amongst the "Most Powerful People in Technology;[27] and The Guardian named him "Inventor of the Decade".[28]
In 2010, Bloomberg BusinessWeek listed Ive among the "World's Most Influential Designers",[29] CNN Money named him "Smartest Designer" in their "Smartest People in Tech" story.[30] Ive was listed at No. 18 on "The Vanity Fair 100" list,[31] and Eureka of The Times group placed him No. 5 on their list of "Britain's Most Important Scientists";[32] Fortune named Ive the "world's smartest designer" for his work on Apple products.[33]
In 2011, the Daily Mail profiled Ive, hailing him as a "design genius".[34] He also was nominated for a British Inspiration Award.
In 2012, Vanity Fair gave Ive along with Tim Cook the first spot on their annual "New Establishment" List.[35]
In 2013, Blue Peter awarded Ive a gold Blue Peter badge[36] and then was profiled by Bono in The 2013 TIME annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[37]
Ive was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2006 New Year Honours for services to the design industry. In the 2012 New Year Honours, he was elevated to Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) for "services to design and enterprise";[38] he was knighted by Princess Anne in Buckingham Palace in a May 2012 ceremony.[39] He described the honour as "absolutely thrilling" and said he was "both humbled and sincerely grateful".[40][41]
Do you know what,... I don't care what his credentials are... I'm not impressed by qualifications, titles, money, other people's opinions, past achievements... I'm impressed by current results... these results are POOR! End story...
Even monkeys fall from the trees.
And they still sold 9 million devices world wide with iOS 7 already on them, not counting those that have upgraded and are pleased. Remember, you are just seeing those that are not, and opinions are subjective. I have not problems with mine, nor the other 3 owners here in our home.
I merely suggest that the guy who is ruining your experience appears to be reasonably qualified in the design field. Feel free to transfer your affections to another manufacturer.
Then you're fortunate. My mum has average sight and has difficulty reading anything on the screen.
