At some point Apple is going to need to redesign iOS to better integrate features they've accumulated since 2007. I don't think we're anywhere near that point yet.
FWIW, Apple has made tweaks to the look and feel. The "dock" at the bottom of springboard has the 3D shelf instead of the grated metal. Apps like Music (formerly iPod), iTunes, Maps have had thorough design updates.
- duaneb 14y agoSpeaking of stale UI features, when will they trash cover flow? I've never once seen someone use it intentionally or successfully.
- ChrisLTD 14y agoI'm with you. Apple has a history of making UI that's pretty much only useful in commercials and store demos. A lot of the Mac OS X dock is under that umbrella.
- gte910h 14y agoI use coverflow constantly in OS X to look through files quickly.
- duaneb 14y agoI don't mind that as much as the ipod app on the iphone. Landscape mode is coverflow, even though half my music doesn't have album covers, and there's no way of disabling the 'feature'. I agree, though, coverflow is pretty good for pictures in the finder—not for most documents, where the content can't be easily rendered distinctively to a rectangular image.
