What’s changed in iOS 6
10 July 2012
Jurajivan has put some slides together showing what’s changed in the iOS 6 user interface.
I haven’t yet interacted with the new OS so can only go on the screenshots in this deck (and from elsewhere around the interweb) but this feels like a Marmite update to me: there are aspects that I love (the revamped bottom tab bar treatment) and aspects that I hate (the top menu bar taking the colour of whatever app is open).
Something else that struck me as I browsed these slides is that iOS seems to be going away from the shiny style UI that’s been present since it’s inception and moving towards a more subtle gradient approach, just like Mac OS X did. Mac OS X 10.1 was uber shiny, whereas 10.8 has a much subtler look.
If this is the direction iOS is moving in, I wholeheartedly approve.
