I actually like the new look, a few of the icons seem off, but I bet they grow on me. The transparency and layers makes a ton of sense to me. Really love control center, I can't wait to have easy access to my brightness. New Photos app looks amazing. Airdrop will be fantastic. New background / multitasking is a huge win.

Biggest let down, no inter-app communication improvements. I think that's a huge problem on iOS now, one I was hoping would be addressed.

The control center on the lockscreen is pretty hilarious to me. I can't wait to put my friends' iphones into airplane mode when they aren't looking, and see how long it takes them to figure it out.

Totally. If they had announced a back button, I would have been ecstatic.

Can you please explain why transparency makes sense to you?

Maybe I won't like it in practice, but they sold me on "providing context."

You can barely see anything through that. Watch the parts where hes scrolling through photos, it's just a massive blur.

Olde' Vista Aero did this better.

Aero Glass showed exactly why UI translucency isn't a good idea. It made every single window title bar noisy and hard to read.

At least iOS 7 cranks up the blur radius.
