Ohhhhh, I didn't realize posts on an open forum were private and I shouldn't respond. Got it.
But tell me, where does Samsung come from, if the original poster was wrong referencing Koreans?
You're lost and didn't read the original post, where TS made a reference to Koreans (i.e. Samsung), and the other poster called him a "racist", which begged the question of if that person knew where Samsung was located.
I liked all the announcements, the back-end stuff, the consistent design, the control center... it was all gorgeous. The new icons will take some getting used to, 6 years with an OS will do that to you.
However one thing I wish they did was live updating icons. Yes Windows does it, and no I don't know how to incorporate it with the new design scheme but it would have been nice. Lots of things you can do with that.
iOS having game controller support is huge for a Next gen hardware Apple TV puck. This can make them compete with consoles, KOTOR on ipad shows the power iPad 4th gen. It could play a game twice as complex as that.
A A7X Apple TV will blow away Ouya, etc.. And be on par with Xbox 360 on power(A6X 77gflops vs Xbox 360 115gflops). Off course Xbox One and PS4 are in the 1.2-2teraflops but IMHO a Apple TV with Xbox 360 performance and controller can be the 3rd console in the market beating Wii U and the android iterations. Plus Xbox One & PS4 won't upgrade the hardware in 8-10 years mobile chips will catch up in this than that IMHO.
Considering the majority of posters have appeared suddenly and registered today? Yeah, that makes me think they're just regular 'ol Apple users.
And your complaints have been about the visual appearance, like the colors or "flatness", which has nothing to do with functionality. Especially considering they added a bunch of functionality without removing any, your last sentence makes little sense.
You can say it's better all you want, but don't think it is. And to that end, I'm now doubting I will upgrade, and this change will also influence my next phone purchase. You may think "good riddance," but the Apple bean counters will miss my money.

If Apple would just allow user settable themes, they could make everyone happy. And no doubt themes would become one of the most popular and lucrative App Store sections.
A multitasking, theme changing widget on the home screen to change the font to comic sans and an App store full of the junk "Play" is full of, crap sold for 99c which fills the notification bar with ads for more 99c crap.
I've read several long-time posters who have complained about certain aspects. Gazobee being one of them. Do a quick review- check who made an account today- and count how many are positive and how many are negative. Hint: none are positive. Hence- 95-98% of the accounts made today are trolls. And you absolutely fit in that percentage.
This.
This is the difference. It's ok to have a contrary opinion, it's not ok to create an account just to say how "horrible" everything is and fill your posts with hyperbole. The only purpose it to rile people up, thus the troll label is apt.

Well then, why aren't you banning all the so-called trolls?
I've looked at the high-res screen shots of iOS7 on apple.com, and I like it. Somehow they managed to preserve the UI metaphors, so things will seem familiar, but recast them in a fresh, modern style. Nice.
The typefaces look almost too thin in the screenshots, but I'm thinking that they should look good on the high-res retina display on the actual device.
I was getting tired of the skeuomorphic style used heavily throughout the UI. This is simpler and cleaner, but without making a radical break from the past.

Very nice catch. That'd be pretty cool.
I really wonder how all this white impacts battery life?!

No they won't. Good riddance.
Does this mean you'll leave now?

Based on what I've read, I doubt that.

No thanks.
I'll stick to changeable dead wallpapers.

Yeah, you're right. Apple doesn't care about profits at all.

It's not OLED, so why would it?

They don't. They care about making quality products that improves people's lives. Didn't you watch the Keynote?

You've read wrong then.
You honestly think that Tallest Skill does not know where Samsung is from? Honestly?
Can we make a wager where if you lose, you leave?

Yup. Took you 22 posts, but everyone starts somewhere.
