iOS7 Perspectives

Thanks to Matthew Buchanan (and Daniel) I immersed myself in both these reads on iOS7 - great, calm, metered takes on the new look. There's been an onslaught of opinions about the whole thing but much of it just seems negative with no reasoning. These two, not so much.

• Frank Chimero - Generosity of Perspective - my favorite quote "If that awful Safari icon bugs you, imagine how the designers at Apple must feel."
• David Cole (Quora Product Designer) - lots of great insight on the in's and out's of the design and functionality. Again, calm and metered thoughts. The only way to go.

I've reserved my opinion until I actually see it in action. It's easy to jump on the hate train for something new - because new is always unsettling - but I think it's nice to see Apple doing something different instead of continuing to simmer where they were.
