I can see a lot of effort went into interactions and some screens. Then I'm left with the impression they just winged it on the rest [1]. The redesign of the messages app limited itself to removing the graphics. The app still shows messages as bubbles, it's just bland now. I can think on a couple better design solutions for chat threads by looking at other apps and Adium themes. The Newsstand is another example of redesign-WTF. It still has bad usability and small thumbnails, it just replaced the background with some random grey background. Noteworthy are also those icons on the home screen. There's no consistency between them, as pointed by multiple designers already [1][2]. I can't believe Apple is pushing these as final. Overall, it looks like a rushed job, not something I would expect from Apple. I see no compelling reason to update.
