iOS 7 is a complete overhaul of the system, throwing out just about every visual element from previous iterations and building on a new system of whitespace, transparency, and motion. Here is a quick iOS 7 review round-up from around the web:

The colours will dazzle you, the apps will pow and pop at you, and you’ll wonder why you pressed the upgrade button so quickly. But after a brief moment, the panic subsides and you’ll realise that you’ve got an OS that makes your phone seem shiny, new, and enjoyable.
Jim Dalrymple – The Loop
Nobody likes change, but sometimes change is for the best. iOS 7 is one of those changes.

Edward Baig – USA Today
