Move to Samsung then. The grass is not greener. Also, you spend how much time in the App Store?
It’s Beta 1, take it down a notch.

As soon as I saw the new App Store I know I didn't like it. I can already tell from the design that it will probably result in me visiting the store less.
As far as the rest of iOS11, its not really different enough for me to care to be honest.

In general, iOS 11 wastes a lot of precious screen real estate by using unnecessarily bold and large typography (I know which app I opened - no need to tell me again using a 60pt. font), rounded edges for notifications and cards, and excessive use of white space.
Using adjectives like 'Geriatric' only shows you are immature
Just a crazy thought to throw in the mix ... if there were ... say ... a phone coming out with edge to edge displays including top/bottom ... is that space relatively clear in general (I realise it puts the name of the app back into the top bit once you scroll ... but it doesn't have to ...) could they slap a camera in the gap ...
Edit, actually silly idea ... as everyone would have to redesign their apps. Nah.

Yes, very clean and ‘concise’. (/s)
‘Clean’ is such a buzzword around here. About as meaningful as ‘stable’.

I really hate these bold titles. Its ruining screen real estate. Ive been using messages long enough to know that the app is messages.
I am pretty sure the want to waste space on the current iPhones so that when the new iPhone comes out, which will have less bezels, you will say: oh! More screen real estate and my current phone is not able to display as much content, when it used to display almost as much in iOS 10 and older.
Apple is evil
This is a leading question, you presuppose we all agree it's geriatric. Try again, try harder.
I am for two reasons:
1. It makes the UI more consistent.
2. It might stop my mother from trying to send a text from Notes.

It's clear that iOS 11 is being geared toward the iPhone 8. But I do hope we'll see all this wasted space cleaned up a bit in the beta process. It's becoming annoying on my 7 Plus, and straight up maddening to use on an SE.
And you asked for opinions, so I wrote mine - my opinion is just that, and it wasn't directed at anyone.
I don't understand the repeated obsession apple has with adding even more wasted space Coupled with bigger phones like the plus models it makes even less sense. Unless I'm approaching blind But even then I can crank up text size or use the bigger icon mode on home screen.. why do this apple?
Why on earth does the messages app have that huge banner reading messages above it? I would know it's messages just from looking at the chat list. Or clicking the icon on my home screen labeled messages
They're really taking design cues from Apple Music app. Like something a lot of people don't like, stretched out to other parts of the OS.

I think that's giving them too much credit. This will be a tenth anniversary shipping os. And they've used same phone design going on 3 generations and a fourth with 7s, and same icon look for 4 generations of OS going on a fifth. Now is the time to step it up
A lot of people don't find johnny ive's flat iOS 7 to be as timeless as Apple and him do
Or the soap bar design. I like it but I don't love it. It could be way better. It is a direct response to android, type design..
iPhone 4 and 5 and honestly 3GS ergonomically come to mind, as legendary. iPhone 4 is the
Height though just such an incredible break through in what a phone design can be in 2010

Ok. Are you a fan of iOS 11's design? I'll change the post title but it's not like I can edit the poll.
Thats what icons are for. If its not broken why fix it?
I also hate the app shelf in messages. It didn't bother me previously, but now its in the way. Im not into the gimmicky fun for two days features. They should add an option to disable it.
Overall, I like the new improvements with iOS 11. Much easier to see and read, as well as being more streamlined, not to mention better with finding and changing options.
I actually think I know the answer to this design change.
Initially, I thought Apple decided to make the initial encounter with an app bold, so the app or the tab of an app you are in is repeated. But then when you scroll through the app, this information is removed. But then I realized that the bold font goes back to the top of the app again. Odd.

The bold title fonts should not look like tabloid headers. They are too large and too bold. It is like overcompensating for something.
They reminds me of 1995 webpages overusing h1 tags. And that is indicative of how the apps are starting to look like, webpages. Web apps! And if you have previous iOS history, you know that those are fraught with poor usability.

If you notice the iTunes icon has changed to a movie star icon instead of the music note. I think this is a clear signal, along with lack of tvOS 11 news, that 4K in iTunes is coming and iTunes is going to get a big redesign and maybe even a name change.

For the AppStore it will actually make me want to visit it more. Before I never went to the store because it was always the same apps. I remember the old days when I would go to the top charts daily and see different and new apps. Nowadays it’s always Facebook, Netflix, clash of clans, etc. these mega apps have taken over the store and Apple is trying to refresh it and bring a bigger focus to smaller developers and new apps.
