I've bought an iPad 1, 2, 3. iOS 7 may be the thing that pushes me to Android, or surface.
Review sites show side by side screenshots of old vs updated apps and ooh and aah about how the new ones look so much more modern. True, iOS 6 does look dated, but the new look is tiring. The new design philosophy results in way too much white space. Deprecated textures and gradients + minimalism = relentless, unbroken white background. It hurts my eyes.
You can make the font bolder, but what about the icons? You don't even get solid icons anymore, just thin outlines. Again, looks cool, but harder to see and process. It 's the triumph of look over useability.
You know what iOS 7 looks like? Android with cranked up gamma and oppressively cheerful colors.
