I'm sure there must be features that I haven't read about or encountered yet because this was supposed to be such a major update. As expected with such a limited usage (less than 15 minutes) my don't like list is much longer.

What I don't like:
* I really miss swipe to delete
* The grouped apps (forget what they're called - folders?) now only show 9 per screen, and have a second screen where required. I had organized mine to show a screenful and now have to reorganize to not have to swipe for a second screen
* The text on the icons was illegible on my light-coloured background. I changed my background to all black for now.
* Text is generally lighter-weight and less readable (e.g. in the mail app). If anyone over 40 tested this product, wasn't their opinion listened to?
* Zooming of the apps whenever you return to the home screen
* The grey background on the folders
Yes, it is difficult to read light colored, thin text. This is especially annoying when the light colored, thin text has replaced easy to see UI buttons. Really stupid move by Ive, and no doubt he is at least 40. At 55 I'm having trouble quickly finding these text-only UI buttons. Apple should at least use a different, bolded font for text-only UI buttons to make them pop. I think Ive wanted them to blend in, but that makes for a terrible UI.
