I REALLY like this design its like a good mix of the iOS 6 and iOS new. My only wish is that they would bring back the glass dock (it gives more room for the wallpaper and looks way more elegant)
I completely agree with this. Steve Jobs loved a skepticism UI and, would hate Jony Ives' material design. Jony Ives is the opposite pushing everything towards a material design.
It's like 2 different edges of a spectrum. Ones red and the other is blue. Both groups should be respectful for each other and, Apple should not push for one and, leave the other stranded behind!
By having a choice of a old lock screen or a new one would be cool and, a great marketing strategy for Apple!
With 2 different UI's, this marketing strategy would appeal to both sides of the spectrum [
especially to the people still using a 3GS's or, other outdated OS phones (like my 4S) still on iOS 6. !]
Personally, for me, the option to choose between the of the old UI and the new one is a make or break feature that will decide if it's time to go to android as my next phone
!
I have loved Apple till around late 2013 with the release of iOS 7
. The new UI does not make me feel happy about my apple devices!
