Some excerpts on what the industry experts have to say about iOS7:
ComputerWorld writes, "while the updated look is the most noticeable feature, there are plenty of other changes deserving attention. There's the new Control Center (which gives you quick access to a handful of settings and apps)."
computerworld.comBloomberg's Rich Jaroslovsky says, "though it's plastic, there’s nothing cheap-feeling about it, and the cartoon-like iOS 7 somehow feels more at home when it’s surrounded by one of the five bright new colors: blue, pink, yellow, green and white. (Even the software's background color is set to match the color of the case.)"
Pixel Envy's Nick Heer writes [iOS 7] is a truly sublime experience which manages to preserve the familiar aspects of iOS while providing a brand new look and feel. The redesign makes the entire user experience feel brighter and more alive.
USA Today's Edward Baig called the "biggest change" to come to the iPhone is with iOS 7. He admitted that he "highly regards" both Android and Windows Phone, he was not blind to "what Apple didn't do," noting the company's catch-up efforts in certain areas of iOS 7's feature set.
