Comment on Lifting the lid on the iOS 7 UIPicker

Oh man, and now even Apple has come to a point where it's taking things that were done well and making them worse. So sad.

It may be because it was rushed and hopefully they'll address it, but seeing the UI principles violated so badly is just painful to see. It's not even debatable, because it's not consistent.

I like seeing progress and devices/software improve over time, so every time I see something get worse than a previous version is very upsetting.

Scott Forestall must be laughing his ass off. His style may have been "obsolete", but at least he did it right. The new UI is trying hard to be "flatter", but it looks like it's done by an amateur.

His style was never obsolete. Soon designers will reject all that flat fad because of what it really is , hyped non sense that goes against basic usability.Then all flat UIs will look obsolete.

When was there a time that Apple didn't do that ocassionally?

Even back at OS X 10.0, there were tons of nice OS 9 features that got lost in the transition.

If it proves to be a major pain point they'll address it. Could even happen in a minor update. Such is the beauty of software.
