>I very much prefer the UI of my Jelly Bean Nexus 7 to this thing they call iOS 7

That's kind of ironic given that the Android blogs and _some_ comments on forums (including hacker news) are all "The UI is Android ripoff" (while the Windows Phone camp is "The UI is a Windows Phone ripoff")



While I understand that some parts could be considered a "ripoff", the bulk of the new UI simply feels like a new skin over the old UI (keep in mind that I upgraded my iPhone 4, which doesn't get all the wizzy features that newer phones get).

And this new skin at times burns my eyes, especially some of the nauseating color choices.

Thank goodness I don't use Game Center. The colours for the bubbles make me want to literally throw up -- I don't know if other people are like that, but certain colours have that effect on me.


The colours might make you unwell, but have you seen game centre in iOS 6? Forcing the user to use some sort of command line interface would be less offensive.


To be fair, some Apple fans have constantly considered Touchwiz (or sometimes just Android) both an iOS ripoff and terrible.
