This author is confused. Anyone who's tested any BETA 1 of iOS knows how unfinished it can be. This isn't your Google "beta." It's a legitimate beta.

  The design won't change significantly in the next months. For example, the Game Center design is likely there to stay for the most part. And, by the way, I acknowledged that it's a beta and there's time to improve.

    What's your source for that? Based on experience with previous betas, it could absolutely change. In the iOS that Game Center debuted, it didn't even work until BETA 4.

      It didn't work but the design was more or less done.

  I've been running the beta 1's since iOS4, and while they can be glitchy, buggy, and crashy, the UI is never really incomplete. If Apple substantially changes the designs (iconography included) between now and shipping, it would make for a first. I feel similarly to the author. Overall I like the design and think it's a much-needed step forward for the OS, but the iconography is distracting. The removal of any kind of affordance in the slide-to-action bars is also a step back. There are lots of places in the OS where I'd expect, under normal circumstances, some pretty substantial redesign, but Apple has never been known to overhaul their designs significantly between beta and release.

    The UI was fairly complete in previous betas, but it was also largely the same as the last major version. I don't think any of us know how the beta as it sits today is going to compare to the final release, but saying that it won't change because previous betas didn't change doesn't seem like a fair comparison.
