That was my first thought. It looks like a first attempt by someone trying to learn Flat UI. For some reason, it just looks a bit to kludgy for me.

- andrewmunsell 13y agoTo be fair, this is the first time Apple's tried flat UI :P
- zeckalpha 13y agoWhat about the original Mac?
- andrewmunsell 13y agoGood point
- ryguytilidie 13y agoI would guess there are about 0 people on that team working on this team.
- joeblau 13y agoThat is true but there are 100's of resources to learn how to do Flat UI correctly. I tried to learn Flat UI a few months ago and I ran into a lot of the issues that I see in Apple's interface and I'm not even a trained designer.
- bennyg 13y agoThis is kind of how I feel. My least favorite so far is their new Contacts app. It's just so plain-jane that I feel like I'm looking at a CS101 app or something. I really wish someone beyond Ive had the final say in the graphic design of this. That's really all I can say about it. The usability of the home screen and the new springboard are great, but the design is just... uninspired. Black and white and blue is not only boring but missing the subtlety that I admired in iOS of the past (skeumorphism aside).
