I'm sure it will be repeated indefinitely, but I might as well kick it off:
Looks a lot like it was inspired a bit by Android and a bit by Windows Phone. To my eye, the font looks like an Android device and the rest of the UI looks like Windows Phone.
Note: this is a good thing. The old iOS looked tired and dated.
- Peroni 13y agoI've used both Windows Phone and iOS quite extensively and one of the few things I think WP does well is the UI. To give Apple credit, the new design looks incredibly different whilst maintaining the familiarity.
- bhauer 13y agoI have not owned an iOS device since the original iPhone, so take my opinion with a huge grain of salt. Since that time, this redesign is the first that has actually caught my eye. So I completely agree, the new design is refreshing and they deserve a great deal of credit.
- tptacek 13y agoI feel like all of the design and promotion in this WWDC was a notch or two less egocentric than the mean of the last 5 WWDCs; even their tagline has become less idiosyncratic ("the intersection of liberal arts and [whatever else it was]") to "making good products people love". They made fun of themselves relentlessly ("no stitching, yet the calendar doesn't fall off the screen") and showcased unrepentantly nerdy features. It felt a little like a shift from the Apple of Jobs to the Apple of California, down to the new OS X names.

- kunai 13y agoI agree; this was a developer's conference first, and a product unveiling second. As much as I hate to say it, I think I like Cook's, Federighi's, and Ive's Apple more than I liked Jobs', Serlet's, and Forstall's Apple. They care more, they listen, and that speaks a lot.
