Do you like where Apple is heading with iOS 7?

No matter what you think about the new iOS 7 interface and features, one thing is for certain - Sir Jony Ive, Apple's lead designer, really shook things up in the software department since he started coordinating the fusion with hardware last year. In Apple's own words about the new design:

Simplicity is often equated with minimalism. Yet true simplicity is so much more than just the absence of clutter or the removal of decoration. It’s about offering up the right things, in the right place, right when you need them. It’s about bringing order to complexity. And it’s about making something that always seems to “just work.” When you pick something up for the first time and already know how to do the things you want to do, that’s simplicity.

The new iOS 7 looks modern, clean and elegant, with generous usage of white backgrounds which, naturally, make everything else pop. Well, we guess Apple is not using OLED screen tech any time soon with all this white in the interface.

Apple says that "ultimately, redesigning the way it works led us to redesign the way it looks" about iOS 7, as it also introduced all the features iPhone and iPad users have been longing for since the 2007 inception. Things like multitasking for all apps, sending files over the air, real command and notification centers, rich camera app - it's all arrived and then some, with new features like Air Drop or the iTunes Radio streaming service.

That's why we wanted to ask you if iOS 7 was everything you hoped for, or you think that Apple is just playing catch up still. Tick the poll checkmark, and sound off in the comments with your arguments.
