Apple's iOS 7 Controversy
Vložit

- If you’ve spent a decent amount of time in the online tech community, you’ve probably heard people say things like, “iOS 6 was the best version,” or, “everything has gone downhill since iOS 6.” And that’s actually a fairly common sentiment among people who believe that iOS 7 was a misstep by Apple that they’ve never recovered from. And while I personally don’t share that opinion, it’s worth exploring why iOS 7 received so much criticism and how it became the most controversial iOS release in history.
But before we talk about iOS 7 and all of its radical changes, we have to establish some context. Because if you’ve only become an iPhone user in the past few years, you probably don’t understand the big deal with iOS 7 since it’s so similar to what the iPhone’s operating system looks like today. So let’s talk a little bit about iOS 6. Which was released in 2012 and featured what’s called a skeuomorphic user interface. Meaning elements of the operating system were designed to resemble real-life objects. For example, in the Notes app, you would type on a virtual notepad. Complete with yellow lined paper bound by brown leather. And in the Newsstand app, which was replaced by the News app in iOS 9, you’d find a virtual bookshelf finished in a light brown wood texture. Now skeuomorphic design elements like these had been around since the very first iPhone in 2007, so it became a quintessential part of what defined the iPhone. - Věda a technologie
iOS 7 haters: *moves to android*
Android: *creates flat Material design*
Even Google know what good design is.
MD is not really flat!
"Material design" is a farce.
@@ezshroom nnnnnnope, they SO, SO do not.
Samridh Singh it depends I use a iPhone XS and I use a s10+ and android 10 and the new user interface is actually really good and honestly make it to where it doesn’t matter what you use in 2020.
I remember coming home from middle school to update my iPad from iOS6 to iOS7 so excited....
time flies.
Bryant iOS13 is upon us brother
i have distinct memories from the day it dropped, i was sitting in homeroom and everyone was shook about it you either had it or you were downloading it as we sat there
omg same!!!
same!!!!!
Bryant same. I remember finally getting a good connection to the school wifi in my study hall to update, I’d been counting down days.
iOS 7 broke my schools WiFi because everyone was downloading it.
Lol

That one kid: *cries in 3GS*
As an iOS engineer working on apps well throughout that era, you’re forgetting a key issue with iOS 7. The radical UI/UX changes in such a short time made developing apps for iOS hell. Often apps had to maintain compatibility with both design languages, UIKit was extraordinarily buggy, and app experiences just felt very unpolished and broken, especially from Apple’s own apps. It wasn’t until iOS 10 that things SLOWLY began to take shape into the level of cohesion and polish that we’re only just now starting to have again with iOS 14.
Agreed ios 7 was very buggy and apps just crash for no reason especially games.
idk what you're talkin bout
Yep. Minecraft began to crash since then, I guess
That’s interesting and sounds difficult a lot of the apps when they were redone tended to be a lot buggier as well and some of them only got surface level overhauls clearly meant to be redone later like Game Center
@@YDGFX😂
Remember the trolls saying that updating to iOS 7 made your phone waterproof? Yeah, wonder how many people fell for that one
Idiots would I'm still surprised most idiots fell for stupid things

lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that they are almost indistinguishable is the reason why iOS7 felt so refreshing. It wasn’t just Maps: iOS was developing slowly.
Dracogame UI and UX aren't the same thing. That's a false equivalence. iOS 6 looking like it's predecessors has nothing to do with its function, just as iOS 14 is very similar-looking but massively more usable than iOS 7.
@@Ranger1812 No man, iOS 6 wasn't just similar looking to iOS 5. I clearly remember that time. iOS4 was fire. iOS5 was kind of a let down. iOS6 was when the hype kinda died. Then they showed iOS7.
On top of that, iOS7 shares some design philosophy with iOS14, but between the two a lot has changed. Buttons, fonts, design language... It's completely different.
iOS 7 came out when I was 8, so when I updated my Mom’s iPhone I was confused and scared why the icons changed 😂
Omgg same haha my mom was angry for me because she think i broke something on her phone
Hello fellow cuber! 😀
@@bartekbartosik6029 why are our moms so dumb with that
i thought i broke my ipad when it first downloaded aha
same but i was 5 or 6
iOS 7 was the talk throughout my whole school when it came out. I remember it like yesterday. Time flies
Abraham i was so excited
It's weird that I remember the day iOS 7 came out 😂 everyone was talking about it
I was taking a shit while I was updating it.
@@alexandar3651 nice
I was in High School. Heard about it but didn’t have an iPhone lol
I was sitting on my highschool library wifi downloading it after school.
I remember first using it. It was so colorful and cool.
iOS 7 had a huge effect on everything. After it came out so many companies followed the design language. Many logos, software UI, even something like CNN's graphics went from the glossy look to flat transparent design.
Jack McCallum everyone follows Apple. They deny it, but it’s true. Look at every phone now, they all look like the iPhone X design.
Bryan Burgos Amador Exactly, It’s pretty hilarious seeing all the deniers 😃
@@etizoman2403 Ikr, there are even people still denying that companies are jumping on the "no-headphone jack" train, and the notch train...
@@tlf361 Don't even get me started on the notch, Every single Ad I see for all these new android phones.... They all have notches now lmao
@@theguy9150 well there is only Samsung among a few other companies which still didn't adopt the no-hpj + notch trend. And that's why I love them
iOS 6 on my iPod touch was like the most adorable thing ever. I loved how realistic it looked
I had the first iPad I loved the skeuomorphic design
Same!
same ❤❤❤, running it on my iphone 4 downgraded with pluvia
Yes!!! iTunes looked so good!!!
@@lvara2216oh it looked really nice on the iPad because the screen was so much bigger. It made more sense on the iPad for sure.
I remember playing on my uncle's iPad 2 everday, going through iOS 5 and iOS 6. It updated to iOS 7 and I was so shocked and confused that morning.
My god
If there is a redesign on iOS 13, then we will hear “iOS 12 is the best iOS.”
Kylo Ren wdym
The when iOS 19 comes out with a new design, people will say iOS 18 is the best iOS.
Same thing when iOS 272 comes out. People will be saying iOS 271 was the best. Smh
There are far too many animals in shelters, many kill shelters, some gas chamber shelters, to justify breeding/buying from breeders. They're not property to be bought/sold. Adopt. They'll show you how full of love life is. Save their life, and they'll save yours.
Kylo Ren Other animals don't belong in the entertainment industry. Not only is it extremely stressful for them, and wild animals are abused until they submit to human will, but how dare you deprive them of their life.
Everyone: IOS 7 is... Garbage
Me when I was 6 years old seeing IOS 7 on my mother’s iPhone 4s: This is the future
I can't stand skeuomorphism. It disgusts me that some elements are still using it (like even Amazon emails)
E-P shut up. Just because one kid is born in one time of year it does not mean they haven’t experienced IOS 6 - 3. Heck, I even owned an iPad 1 and the first iPad mini “Go to Fortnite” Stop assuming kids hobbies as there are many different ones. And as a matter of fact, I grew up to know Windows 7 and Vista.
E-P
I play mostly games from before 2010, I only play Fortnite sometimes with friends and stuff, never really got into the game.
I mostly play old Nintendo games, RPGs (specially the Fallout series), and Titanfall2
E-P
I was born in 2006, December 14th to be precise
@E-P Go ahead and offend youngsters like us, some of us still grew up with old iPhones and brickphones, as well as Windows XP, go ahead and call us all Fortnite players even though a lot of us terribly hate it. Do so. Age is just a number, nobody cares, that's how he grew up. Go find a way to learn to accept us no matter the cause.
I remember not really liking the design when it first came out, but as with all things, I quickly got used to it. It is surprising how old the skeuomorphic designs feel now. They’re like a relic of the past.
Great video, you can tell a lot of time and research went into it. Keep it up!! Subscribed!
Personally I think ios7 came right before the big minimalism trend and people disliked it because Apple was a little ahead of its time.
More like this minimalism trend is inspired by iOs7. Other companies like to copy Apple.
Windows 8 - 2012
But people HATED Windows 8 :D
It's always been Apple being inspired by some small concept then it blows up and everybody else replicates it.
Ahem
Windows Phone.
Here’s the crap:
When Apple doesn’t change anything: “OMG, we need to change things up!”
When Apple change stuff: “Omg!!! Why did they need to change? Everything was fine before!”
Like Gamers.
I see that with call of duty
Fans: ohh we need a boots on the ground game not futuristic stuff
Sledgehammer: here
Fans: ohh it's terrible
It's just people wanting to complain so that they force something to do something (in this case apple) so that they can complain about something else
Finn Tran because the changes are always awful changes
The famous line... “No one asked for that”
Finn Tran That’s called industrial pawnage and it’s a marketing tactic to force persuade the masses to buy unneeded/crippled/dysfunctional stuff that would increase someone’s market share.
I still remember having mi iPod Touch and being so excited to update it when it came out, it was the longest day of that school year
I still miss the Newstand folder animation on iOS6, it was dope
“It was a cultural reset...”
the old system to me now looking at it looks sooo tacky and cheap
Ik it looks terrible 3d stuff just looks weird and material design is so clean and way better looking
Same. It looked good for its day... but so did bell bottom jeans but we learned form those mistakes 😂
I loved it when it came out
i think it looks cool
Both seem OK, but personally I like minimalistic stuff better
Any change is controversial. People hate change.
No. Actually people want change so bad, they'll vote for change, simply for the sake of change, even if it's change for the worse. Democratic elections are a prime example.
@M-2 Hydra Like when i paid for iPhoto on iOS, and then Apple killed it shortly after
Michael what does politics have to do with a phone?
a great man(ValeforXD) once said "I DON'T LIKE CHAAANGE!!!"
Finlay Mitchell People hate change when they were content with how it was before and that‘s justifiable.
I remember when I got my first apple device, my iPad mini 2. It had iOS 7 when I got it, and I used my iPad way more than I used my old nexus tablet.
My first apple device (it was actually my dad’s) was an iPhone 5S.
My dad got it in mid 2014 and it was running iOS 7. I don’t really remember using iOS 7 on it but I remember using iOS 8
I remember being in class trying to update my phone. Personally I like iOS7 because it was a nice change.
You need to do a video on the old CZcams app that was built into iOS.
Tom Sawyer I would have to agree with you. I enjoyed the built in version better then the new app.
I disagree. The new app is great to use. Back when they first switched, I didn't quite understand, but now it works well. With Android being so prominent, it wouldn't make sense for Apple to have a Google product built into their OS anymore.
How? It doesn't work anymore.
@@Owen1904 wait, the one with the TV icon? like the one on ipad 1's?
Ben -the human yea it is
people hated iOS 7?
Dude I thought it was fucking beautiful at the time and I was an Android fanboy.
Antonio toni To 11 year old me it felt like the future.
Yeah many thought the user interface looked like a Fischer-Price (baby toy company) reject and amount of white space was an eyesore. It is kind of insulting that Apple waited so long to add Dark Mode in iOS 13, when it has been continuously the most requested feature since iOS 7.
Yeah. My favourite iOS!
Idk about everyone else, but I HATED the old iOS (I don't hate it anymore, I actually kinda like it, but that might just be nostalgia talking). I thought it was hard on the eyes. So when iOS 7 dropped and I saw the new design, I was freaking out. It looked so cool and sophisticated.
Nah nah nah, ios 1-6 or iOS 13 was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay prettier
i remember downloading the beta version of ios7 for ipod touch and installing it through itunes in the summer before it was officially released because i was so excited to have it
I remember when I was about 5. I came back from 1st grade and started using my iPad 3. When I updated the software, I was mind blown.
I like the skeuomorphic design on iPhone 4S, but I don't really think that it would look very nice on something like iPhone XS, or even iPhone 6.
Konrad Figura I believe that raises the perennial question of how much software and hardware influence each other. Do we have the iPhones we have today because of the changes to the iOS generations ago? If Ives hadn’t departed from the skeuomorphic design, how would our iPhones look different?
Duh because you are used to 😒
@@sebastianperez907maybe. But I believe that iOS 7 or higher look... Meh on iPhones older than 5S
I agree. It went perfectly hand in hand with my 4S. Now my 5S on the other hand wouldn't have flowed very well with iOS 6. I remember seeing people with iPhone 5's on iOS 6 when they first came out. I remember thinking it just didn't look right. I find the minimalistic interface much easier to use as well.
Konrad Figura so true
I had no idea there was such a negative reaction to IOS 7. I personally loved it lmao
I didn't know anyone who disliked it and for me it was the first time iOS looked good
Yeah same
it made phones allot slower
I had no idea why people liked iOS 7. Now I see it pairs better with hardware.
Nathan Naiker same. Everyone at my school loved it too!
At the time I was like: Oh look, iOS isn't ugly anymore
Me too
Excuse me what the fuck
It needed to upgrade, but it was a big hit of a change, they maybe could’ve toned down the skew morphism and the go to iOS 7
I wasn’t there oof
😅🤣
I remember when iOS 7 came out because it was the main reason I started my switch to iOS. I remember actually buying my first iPad mini (followed relatively shortly after by an iPhone 5) and subscribing immediately for a developer account so that I could run iOS 7 beta. iOS 6 “multitasking” is the reason why I had no desire to switch from Blackberry to iOS earlier.
Personally I've grown quite fond of the operating system even with the flat design. The colors and translucency effect are awesome and look much more modern.
Matthew Lemmers I agree.
The old look looks really outdated
I don't now and never have liked the flat design, I've just kind of grown to accept it as "the modern look". It would have been nice if Apple had at least allowed you to choose what it looked like.
Apple's gone more for a non-flat, gradient design
You can thank Windows Phone for it's influence over iOS and Android. RIP.
I didn't use an iPhone until iOS 11, because I am a hardcore android user.
But the iOS 7 change was the best thing at that time, the UI look great and fresh and modern.
In short, don't stuck in one place.
I love the new ui
it's great, i love it too
It is epic but we need another update it it
this is the thing i don't wanna talk man, Android(stock) update vs iOS update.
on Android you get 2 or 3 major update, and a lot of big change every major update.
on iOS you get 5 years, but small update every year.
both are great the way they are, I use both, but i would like iOS to be more customizable
Souris Same thing with me. I had the galaxy s3 at the time and thought IOS 7 looked so cool and modern compared to the old shitty s3 touchwiz. Now 5 years later I have an iPhone and iOS is great.
I remember when my dad updated his iPhone from iOS 6 to 7. He hated the update. He would complain about the design all the time. When I saw it at the time, I thought it was awesome. To me, it was a much-needed modern refresh and made the system feel much more premium and new and was the future of design. I was really disappointed when I found out my iPod 4 couldn't update to it :(
Don't be. Your iPod 4 is a blessing. iOS 6 is amazing, and I am glad of that.
The metallic look was nice. Like the Siri logo with the mic was such a good look. And the dialogue interface with Siri was so good.
In 2019, I gave Apple Maps one more chance, and it tried sending me the wrong way in a one way street. It has been deleted ever since.
Lmaoooo
“People who still hated it probly switched to android”
Google Material Design: “lol 😏”
Anthony A material design is dope. Nothing like iOS 7 💩. Oh, I’m using XR so don’t call me Android fanboy
no
Material Design is so clean and elegant tho, I mean i was psyched ASF to download iOS7 onto my iPhone 4 in 8th grade like anyone else, but looking back its very ugly and tacky looking, also it was glitchy AS HELL
Android 10 is Amazing. Don't dis android

iOS 7 was my first time with iOS on the original iPad Air that I still use to this day. Because I grew up with the new design, I don't really think much about it. I found it easy to use when I got my iPad Air.
I remember this! My sister hated it but I loved how colorful it was. Looking back, the old operating system looks so dated compared to now
I remember that morning I was so confused why my phone looked so different my middle school headass thought I jail broke my phone
yeah yukii i know that
we met that day
I’ll never forget how awesome it was to experience such radical change on my iPhone when I updated to iOS 7. It was like waking up on Christmas morning as a kid. But I had a few friends who really hated the change.
At the beginning, I think I remember hating on logos that were increasingly looking stupidly unrealistic. But nowadays I like the simplistic UI we have today. I think it's more tidy, to be honest. Makes things easy to identify on screen. Although, for example, W10 was too extreme for my taste, everything being a still color and such.
I remember when I had updated to iOS 7 on my iPad 2. I was 15years old at that time, It was such an iconic moment. I noticed the change right when I hit the update button because the Apple logo had changed from this 3Dish design to a flat one and I was super excited. I had no idea that entire operating system had a design overhaul similar to that of the minimalistic design of the Apple Logo. I enjoyed every bit of iOS 7 afterwards, it felt fresh and futuristic. I even enjoyed the design changes from iOS 7 to iOS 8. It was from iOS 11 that it felt like things were going downwards… for instance when they took out semi-transparent overlay effect of the Notification Center and just replaced it with the lockscreen wallpaper. It just took more of the cool features off iOS 7-9 and replaced it with more boring ones. It wasn’t for the sake of minimalism either. But I’m sure with Craig Federighi being in charge of iOS, he might make changes for the better in upcoming version of iOS. I like what he did with iOS14 and iOS 16.
8:45 actually it was recreated in Microsoft Word!!!
You can even see the damn UI in the screenshot
Emanuel Romano oh
Part of me feels like he's just churning out so many of these videos he doesn't double-check or even fact check some of these details.
I donno, with how many of these videos he's making I just wish he'd invest in a decent microphone rather than whatever I'm hearing or rather how poorly it's always recorded. Literally no other big tech content creator or company history reviewer is this bad. Bright Sun Films and Cold Fusion do it well and even Company Man with his unsure naisally sounding voice records properly. It just sounds like he's using the bare minimum with reflects in oversights like getting the whole program wrong despite seeing the interface clearly.
He wouldn’t know he uses the Mac version! 😂😂😂
Was about to comment this
I like the design of iOS 6 but the features of iOS 7 are great.
ShepardPower Those features wud hv ultimately come without the redesign. These things are under development many yrs ahead.
ShepardPower
i really dislike the old design. i think it looks so much slicker and softer looking. it was quite neat but i honestly like the newer redesign much brtter
Control center was a big one
Agree ! These features were being worked on by Scott Forstall & his team for a long time until Jony took over suddenly.
I agree!
I remembered being sad for not being able to get the update since I was still on an iPhone 3GS
What I really liked and miss from Ios6 is when you highlighted text in the IBooks app and it appeared to be shaky highlighted with a marker.
6:19 Actually, if you look closely, there’s still paper. There’s even an imprinted back button!
Oh yeah the background is paper. But now In iOS 13 or later it’s gone. Now we can say there is nothing. 😢
“It’s actually a fairly common sediment”
*Rocks: “we’re listening”*
I remember back in 2013, I had a iPad 2 and I used to be a elevator photographer. When I heard iOS 7, I loved it. The sad news is I had to wait like 2 more weeks-ish for Beta 2 since Beta 1 was only for iPhone/iPod Touch back then.
Then I think I followed the beta cycle of iOS 7 for a bit, went back to iOS 6-ish if I remembered, then back to iOS 7 until the final release. Time flies man.
Today I have a iPhone and yes, Apple never changed the entire UI of iOS from 7 years ago, though overtime they probably updated some of the icons and UI design, especially the fonts (I remember there was 2 years of Helvetica Neue from 7-8, then iOS 9-onwards would be San Francisco as of today!)
I was in 8th grade sitting in history class when iOS7 came out. Everyone was like “omg omg we need to upgrade right now”. Everyone had their iPhone out upgrading. It was SO slow to download and took forever because apple’s server’s were overwhelmed. I was the first to have it done on my good ol’ white iPhone 4S. I was fascinated. Loved it too actually, but will always miss the classic iOS & Mac OSX aesthetic. But really, Apple has come so far with software it’s crazy.
Personally I loved iOS 7
shubhankar munshi I thought it was the best noteworthy iOS update that I’ve seen from Apple. 🤷🏾♂️
Same.
I thought iOS 7 was ugly but I prefer iOS 11 since that’s where I started
I just hated how slow it was (iPhone 4s) but the design was definitely a step up
It was my favorite version.
so a dude failed at drawing a map caused a huge ios controversy.
+_fantomz yep
Yeah if you think about it, if it wasn’t for the Apple Maps mistake iOS wouldn’t look like it is today. I want the old design back
Reviews And To Infinity no it looks so ugly now
_fantomz funny thing is Apple Maps is amazing now. As someone who drives Uber and Lyft, between Google Maps, Waze, & Apple Maps. Apple Maps has been the most reliable for me now since they fixed all of the issues with it now.
Adam Tajyar - Firing Scott Forstall just because of the Apple Maps glitches was dumb in my opinion. He was an important component to Apple
5:36 I kinda agree it does make it feel bloated but it looks nice sometimes but yeah
When iOS 7 came out everyone in class was plugging in their phones and updating (a couple with dead phones had their phone unplugged mid update, yikes) but I was the only one in class with a 3GS and I was wondering why I couldn’t update.
I remember buying my first "real" phone ever in 2014, and it was an iPhone 4s that happened to have IOS7 installed. As an 11 year old at the time, I was fascinated by the design of it, I loved how clean and modern it looked!
I just never liked the iOS 7 to me it looked like a knock off. Something about that iOS I just dislike iOS 10 and up are my favorites
I must say: i was pissed when they changed it, but i wouldn’t go back to the old one ever again
Good instructions. It's easy to follow. Awesome
2:23 both fears me and makes me laugh so hardly. 😂
btw, I‘d find a mix between skeuomorphic and flat design very interesting.
I think iOS 12 is much better than 6 and that a skeuomorphic design wouldn't look very modern.
Ios 12 sucks
Ios 12 sucks
I agree. iOS 12 is awesome. 13 is going to be a big redesign, and I personally hope there’s some skeuomorphic design, but still in a clean and modern way.
@@Meister_Dwight IDK but I think iOS 13 redesign would be a lot like MD2 ie a lot cleaner and white space
iOS 6 will always be the classic version of IOS.
I personally don’t understand this controversy, I think ios7 was the best iOS update ever
Sameee
Yea with all of its bugs and glitches and crashes
Danefrak iOS7 was the best excuse you’ll ever had to switch to Android.
Pye Ltd. every OS has bugs, glitches and crashes.
ios 7 walked so ios 13 could run
I remember updating my iPhone 4 from iOS6 to iOS7 and thinking how damn futuristic it looked. I absolutely adored what iOS7 did for my (by that time) dated iPhone 4.
I like both. I remember using iOS 7 for the first time and thinking it was so modern and beautiful. Now it's so background, I wish we had a new redesign with an unified language and message.
7:14 so THATS why the background moves! i always wondered about that...
qwerty keyboard never noticed until this video
omg i just noticed i could do that with my phone
I remember being in 9th grade when ios 7 came out, literally my whole class of 66 people had iphones, mostly iphone 4S`s, everyone updated at school when iOS 7 got released. And immediately after updating everyone was like "what is this shit? Its buggy, slow, and i dont recognize anything of whats on my home screen" lol. First iOS 7 software was a fuckin mess when it comes to bugs... I loved the design right away, but damn it was buggy...
Damn did u go to a rich kid school??? When the iPhone 4s came out most people in my class were still rocking flip phones and galaxies..
66 people!?
ios 6 to ios 6 was my favorite update lmao, the realism makes it feel slow af with all the shadows and all
I remember when I had my iPhone 4s and I updated from iOS 6 to 7. I loved the colours and everything, ran faster too. My only problem was how flat everything was. I also never had a problem with Apple maps either when it came out...way I see the whole thing is, Cook wanted to shake things up.
"they switched to android"
haha, almost every phone companie is using the same aesthetic. Those people can go back to the flip phone age
I think this comment is more relevant now than ever
not back then
I personally thing iOS 7 is the most beautiful version of iOS, especially on the iPhone 5. Looks stunning, I love the frosted glass effect!
Funny how the icons of camera and app store got even simpler since ^^
I‘d love to hear what the effects of iOS 7 were on other interfaces in the tech industry!
Well, it’s essentially what sparked the oversimplified logos we are used to now. So basically it turned everything to shit
as much as i loved ios 6 i cant go back to it. the design was amazing but the new ios 13 designs feel a lot more fluid and simplistic but yet show what i want to be shown in detail. i will always have a soft spot for ios 6 in my heart for the nostalgia and to remember what it used to be but ios now is just amazing. even though i am jail broken for the features it lacks it is much better then before.
IOS 7 when iPhone’s finally started looking like a 21st century phone. People who hate are stuck in the past.
There is nothing futuristic or advanced about a flat pastel basic coloring book colored icons and buttonless interface that still has button “areas” with basic text instead. If anything it’s going backwards or regressing.
IPhone 4 on iOS 4 looks pretty 21st century to me. If I whipped it out in 1996 then people would think I am a alien from out of space
No. Actually you are stuck in the past. The 90's to be more precise.
@@pyeltd.5457 Even in early 2010 people would think the same lol
Michael but the early 2010 people knew the iPhones of the late 2000s being the 3G/2G and it was kinda expected apart from the retina display which back in 2010 I spent a whole day on in the Apple shop binge watching the old CZcams app on iOS 4 📺 because I was so impressed with that iPhone than the previous 3 iPhones which felt tacky.
if iOS13 is again a whole new design, there should be a new video called Apple's iOS 13 Controversy

Ironic for the people that switched to Android when Google introduced material design and essentially went for the same effect as iOS.
I remember that I was really disappointed that I couldnt update my iPod gen. 4 to iOS 7

There is a 'hack to get it' it runs soo slow it's not worth it.
I remember this day like it was yesterday watch the keynote at work. This was around the time I got my first iPhone which was the iPhone 5s loved that phone...
I like the shadow and I wish they’d add more if it. You can change app icons with shortcuts but it’s time consuming and whenever you have to open an app it take you to shortcuts before
I feel like this minimalism design is getting old too. On all OSs, not just in iOS. I think a more 3D design would be nicer, but not as realistic as iOS 6
Like the fluent design system of Windows 10, or completely flat like material design 2?
Currently, the design trend is moving toward semi-flat.
@@ChenLiYong gradiented like iOS?
I am getting bored of this iOS design, it looks almost the same since iOS 7 only some changes were made, I think a 3D design would be cool.

I remember I was in highschool and that my friend had it early because of the beta program xD good times.
I remember that when iOS 7 came out I thought it looked hideous. Didn’t take me very long to get used to and learn to love it, though. This video made me nostalgic, I kinda miss iOS 7🥺 Can’t believe it’s been seven years! Didn’t realize how much the iOS design has changed since then
The iOS UI has barely changed since iOS 7, what are you talking about?
1:14 "iOS6"
That's iOS 4...
yep
Or older, because of the iPod app rather than music of iOS 5>
@Paulo Gabriel Sorry I meant iOS 4
@Reed Hummel But it has the iPod app, and the pre-iOS 4.2.1 Voice Memos icon. I would understand if you were referring to 6:25 (which if you look closely at the Maps icon, is Apple Maps which is exclusive to iOS 6 and not before which had the water droplets picture as the default) but the original comment wasn’t
I remember updating my iPhone 4 to ios 7; big mistake. It was practically unusable.
Yeah, that was one way to kill iPhone 4. I remember a friend of mine had one, and that was exactly what happened.
So laggy and horrible but wasn’t as bad as the 4s on iOS 9
@@lagod63 it barely functions

Excellent content, could you make a video about when and why Apple considers a device to be obsolete? Thanks a lot!
Can you make a video of the WatchOS history? It looks like almost everything is changed since the first version and features like the moving emojis, Glances, friends from the right button and more just disappeared. I’m sure many people will want that 😘
first thing i asked my friend after seeing ios7 for the 1st time : "how tf did u install android on your iphone!!?"
LOL
9:04 excuse me WHAT
*Ive just hid the body*
I remember having mixed feelings about this; I loved the liquid translucent new design but I also loved the 3d looking keypad, it made the click sound seem more original,
I was using an ipad 1 till 2015, so I didn't really realize it.
But the main thing was removal of 3D icons :(
I hate the control center of the new iOS 11/12 nothing like iOS 10
Ivan Hernandez IOS 7 control center looked boring I prefer the new control center
justin mckenzie it was easier to use, and the new one is boring to me , it’s not well organize.
Ivan Hernandez same i don’t like how disorganized it is and i don’t like that it’s customizable. weird complaint but idek
You can customise the entire control centre on 11 and 12
The new control centre is such an improvement though!
Back when Apple cared enough to create new, innovative designs. After that they basically released an upgraded iPhone 6 for three straight years.
well they changed it after X
4 years
Once you use it you can feel the difference between them, i got my iPhone stolen so I downgraded to iphone 6 and the difference was crucial
That's true, and now they are gonna release an upgraded iPhone X for a few more years probably, I don't see apple doing anything big anytime soon.
@@mandygeo8257 They can't afford to. It's only a matter of time before a company figures out a practical way to get rid of notches. As soon as that happens, Apple will have to jump on the bandwagon.
My first iPhone is iPhone 5s, which I still love to use it, didn’t know this controversy before, thanks to know it.
Same but it was my dads, my first own personal iPhone was an iPhone 4S on iOS 8
This was a very cool and interesting video!!!
i love this channel keep up good work bro
I think iOS 6 love is more nostalgia than anything else. And I’m guilty of this too, being that the IPod 4 was my first device.
This singlehandedly made the whole minimalist clean design 2010's style we know
I literally got this vid in my recommendation and today is just the 2 year anniversary of this vid 😂
