I finally upgraded from 5.1 to 7.1, and now I wish I never have. It's even worse than I imagined. The aesthetics are terrible, making it harder to see and read things, things seem inconsistent, the animations make me nauseous, everything is white with a poor method of dividing displayed info. I hate that Notes is just a blank page now without any guide lines. And I'm finding toggles in the settings that I have no idea what they're suppose to do because all it shows is an app name with a toggle switch and no clear description of what it does. I use to find it convenient that Safari told me how many tabbed windows I had open, they removed that tiny bit of useful info.

I can see I'm going to have to do some heavy customization and I haven't found a suitable winterboard theme yet either.

Sure looks like gay parade



update:


p.s. for those who don't know - this is comparison of GUI update. See the difference in shades of green? Sure, new design.

Not really. That's clearly an Android phone on the right.

I literally LOL'd on that one!

For the first time though, I'm seriously considering an Android phone for the future. My only gripe was android phones is how ridiculously huge they are. I want a phone, not a tablet shoved in my pocket!

You should certainly be allowed to customize your phone to look like a garbage can if you want to.

I haven't looked at any online, but from the androids I've seen in person that everyone has, they're all huge.

Yeah, for some reason most Android phones insist on having a 4.5-5.5" screen, which in my opinion is far too big. I really like the 4" screen the iPhone has had for a few years now, works with my hands very well.

Look at the Samsung 'mini' phones, they are pretty small. I have an S3 mini and it serves me well.

Want a phone? Buy a phone.

If you want a computer with big touch-screen but small size at the same time - please don't complain

I'm a consumer, that's what we do! Especially when newer products are worse than their predecessors!

No, you're blaming the burger is that it is not an ice cream. Wanna ice cream -> buy an ice cream. You would not get an ice cream by buying a burger.

EDIT: apple has made you blind. There are lots of other phones. Small, convenient, handy.

For Pete's sake I should leave the thread as I feel myself going into sweet 'IPhone Zombie Corps Vs The World' discussion.

Apple are not the only company who make smart phones. Small phones that are simply phones are not good enough for my needs. So they're not convenient at all.

Your hate is simply Apple hate for the sake of hating Apple. As the complaint about screen size wasn't aimed at the iPhone it was aimed at Android phones.

As smart phones are sold as phones then the complaint about size is valid.

Your analogy makes no sense. He's not complaining that the phone doesn't do what a phone should do, he complaining about the size. So he ordered a burger, got a burger, it's just too big to fit in his mouth. He's now spilt sauce all over his shirt and the back of the burger is hanging out the bun. He's got an interview in 5 mins and he looks like a fool, he really needs this job because he's been out of work for 6 months. He needs to make rent, buy food, pay off other miscellaneous bills. His girlfriend is thinking of leaving him for Mr Handy because he has ice cream. He should have just bought a smaller burger :-(

I don't hate Apple. At all. Maybe where you leave people are normal, but here at my Land Of Evil Red Commies, many young poor people are taking loans to buy this phone just to look awesome to other young poor comrades. They are not very smart so they have been brainwashed by Apple. And this drops shadow on other normal people who can afford IPhone as regular buy.

Okay, maybe "you not ought to buy Big Tasty when you need Hamburger, but you bought it and now complain".

No, you have it completely wrong. I was fine with my iphone until I upgraded to ios7, which I had to do because newer apps simply weren't compatible with my older version. But it changed the device and experience too much. So really, I bought a nice juicy burger and half way through eating it, the cook came out and replaced it with a veggie burger.

This sounds like - well to be honest; Regular behaviour. This is nothing new; It's just that now it's phones, in the time I grew up it was bikes, before that something else.

I'm probably going to sound like an ass here but *ehem* It seems funny to me that people buy an electronic device they know is a closed system owned and controlled by one company and then they complain when that company screws around with it.
