Finally the great Jony Ive has been unleashed to take over iOS design. Looks like its been given its first major overhaul since 2007.
Frankly, iOS while functional, was very ugly before so am very much looking forward to this update.

I'm loving this. This new design is enough to make me consider it as my next phone purchase.
I didn't like iOS before, I found the shiny 3d effects on everything annoying. But this new design looks clean and sharp. I like.

Looks like a mac.

While I like the Windows Phone visual style, service wise it's a piece of shit. MS still hasn't got Xbox music working correctly on Windows Phone, and I know they never will.
What is iTunes radio like?

it works.
looks like they are trying to androidise the style, which aint a bad thing.
Still wating for them to release a mid level iphone

Android has no style.

What do you want in a 'mid level' iPhone, that is different from simply buying the previous years model?

Do you guys remember Tasha? She lived in the floor above us in freshman year

Wow! How is she?

Great...She says

For current iPhone users, how good is Siri? Does it cope with the NZ accent? or does it fail?
-
Siri's understanding of NZ accent is far far superior than when she was first released. I remember giving up on it a few days after getting my iPhone 4S, but now I use it all the time for sending text messages and setting reminders. Its so much easier to say "at 5 o clock on tuesday remind me to have a fap' than to manually select the date/time etc. She rarely gets it wrong these days.
Its especially useful when using the Cydia tweak 'Hands Free Control'. You just say Siri/Hal/Computer or whatever to open up Siri. So I can send txts etc without touching the phone.

I also thought the same.
Apple: it's ok for us to copy you, but we'll sue you for having a semi-similar-ish style.
It's kinda like a halfway between Android and Windows 8.

Agree. It's very "Metro" theme-esque.
In saying that, it's nice. I hate the current iOS look and feel, but this is nice. WD Apple, but WTF were you think with the Mac Pro?!!

Yeah I went through the whole page; absolutely no quarrels with the hardware. But really... A cylinder; you could do the same/very similar thing with a rectangle, and then put something on it, or fit it in a shelf.
-
.....right.............

Make a 5" screen already.

Hopefully Galaxy's success will force them to make a few different screen sizes.

A cylinder should improve airflow if nothing else. You dont see any rectangle shaped jet engines.
-
Good to see they are wanting to go back to the quirky days of the Cube.
Sad that thing fell into obscurity and only sought after by Mac fans.

How to see sent emails on Ipad:
1) Close the mail app
This is the first problem, why the fuck are the setting for the mail app, not in the app? Who's fucking idea was this? How is putting the settings for the mail app, somewhere else, more intuitive than putting them, with the app? It's not. It's a stupid design decision and you're wrong if you disagree.
2) Open the settings...app
This is the app for all the settings of all your apps.
3) Click on "mail, contacts and herpes infested morons"
Don't click on the mail app....
4) Click on the icloud account, this will open a new window.
Ok that actually makes sense.
5) Scroll down, and click on advanced, this opens a new window.
There is no scroll bar to let you know you can scroll down, you're suppose to know this intuitively.
6) This window makes little to no sense, check the "notes" button
7) Hit back.
This takes you back to a parent window
8) Hit back
This takes you back to another parents window
9) Hit cancel
The button under the back button has been changed to cancel, undoing all your settings, go back to step 3 except this time skip step 9 and go straight to step 10
10) Press "Save Settings"
the save settings button is on the other side of the screen. Intuitively.
11) Press Save Settings again
12) close the settings app and open the mail app
For some reason your sent emails now show up, even though we checked the "notes" button
And for comparison, here's how to do it on android:
1) Click "sent mail"
Because someone with a brain developed this software and your sent emails are already there.

What the hell? I have sold my iPad but pretty sure viewing sent emails was the same as on iPhone.
Ie, from inbox click arrow in top left to view all your folders, and click sent mail.
Or are you talking about ios7, which is beta?
-
Wait but how are you on the internets without your ipad

fucked if I know, it was a run of the mill ipad that everybody has.
I looked it up online later that evening, apparently it's set that way as default.
edit: it's not really even just the sent emails mailbox that was the problem, it was the fact all the settings were in one place, which to me seems silly, and even then there was no logic order to it, or where anything was.
and that back button suddenly cancel button thing worked me up too....it's very clunky.

You don't see many computers trying to compress and ignite an airflow.

How to see sent emails on Ipad:
all of the derp
It's kinda like the application settings on windows 8.
I had to think about an analogy for it today, and after a fair few minutes I came up with the start button.
Windows 7: Start->settings opens OS level options (control panel). App level options set in the app.
Windows 8: Start->settings opens OS level options (control panel). App level options are set in Start->settings, but only when the app is in focus.
Oh, how intuitive! I complete the same action, with different results!
The first sign of madness, modern UIs.
-
Now that would be a revolution.
Quite. You don't see many square things that revolve in square casings.

No, it's not http://cperky.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/ipad-tip-how-to-view-sent-emails/
How is that not the most simple way to have it, with all of the settings in the settings app? It makes perfectly sense. Otherwise you have lots of apps by different developers who all have their settings in different places which makes them harder to find.
But haters gonna hate, go for it.
-
+1 for settings all in one place. Makes it consistent, and less dev work (as each app doesn't need its own settings screen developed)
-
Minimalist is in...

Apple better hope like buggery that their new Mac Pro does well, because that's the ONLY innovative thing they've done in a long time. They're no longer creating, instead they're re-hashing.

That's awesome, the WP look with the Apple services and apps behind it, win!

Agreed. Think you missed the point. Was talking about ease of flow, not thrust.

Nope, that all mail button didn't have the sent mail from the icloud account.
That person is wrong.

I see what you mean, but surely they could have included a button in the mail app that takes you straight to all the mail app settings in the settings app?
Having the settings all in one place means you perform n + 4 more actions to change settings because you have to close the current app then open the settings app (can you switch between apps quickly in iOS by holding a button or something?) even then it's still n + 2 more actions.
-
I think the point is you generally only need to change the settings the first time you use the app. After that you just get it out of the way.
Glad they are copying Windows phone. I always preferred the look of Windows phone OS, just not the functionality and lack of apps.
-

It's not wrong you, in the mail app you press back once or twice(depending on wether you are in a sub folder of an account or not), tap the iCloud account then tap sent items. Max of 4 taps, sometimes you don't need to tap at all because when relaunching Mail.app it opens the last place you were.

No see that sent items button wasn't there unless you go through the tedious number of steps I listed above, including the stupid surprise cancel button.
Ok. On the ipad I had to do this to, it was not set by default. I found apple sheep women folk on the internet who wondered why this wasn't set as default.
I don't wonder, I know why.
-
I have never had to through and enable it, it was always enabled. I checked with someone's else's as well, could also have been enabled in by default in iOS5 and the setting carried over into 6 where normally it is disabled. Who the hell uses Apple's email service anyway?

This TV ad 'Designed by Apple in California' is really starting to piss me off.
-
In other news I have been using iOS 7 beta 2/3 for a couple weeks now and it has kept me on Apple for just a bit longer. Have a S4 at the same time but still go back to the 4S each day.
-
Apple are driving me insane.Installed itunes on my PC as my son now has an Ipod.Put in apple ID.Tells me wrong password even though I know its right.Change password and write it down so theres no confusion.Log on Pc.No problem.Log on Ipad /ipod- Wrong password.
Should have just given him my cowon.

This TV ad 'Designed by Apple in California' is really starting to piss me off.
Annoying me as well, all it shows is people being happy.
-
That's because Apple invented happiness.
Well, not really, they put happiness in a different box, gave it a different name and then got a patent for it.
Expect a cease and desist letter from Apple's lawyers the next time you iSmile.

This TV ad 'Designed by Apple in California' is really starting to piss me off.
I saw that ad once (literally, once.)
I picked it in about 0.5 seconds, I was like "Apple propaganda".
Turns out I was 100% right. I was chuffed with myself, but also depressed about it.
Because it's so full of shit, and people lap that shit up.
