Um... what disappeared. My phone was exactly the same, the only difference was the added Face Time icon, since Face Time is not a distinct app.
Everyone hates change... Oh, and the pic of the three apps, old and new...
Compass is miles better looking now, New Stand looks much better too... the Game Center, that's is a bit too cartoony, however, I never liked the felt green look of the old version either.
What I really like is, activation lock, background updating, multi-tasking screen, notifications on lock screen and slide from left as back gesture in all apps. I also like the fact that you can share to flickr now (and vimeo but I don't use that).
I don't like that the temp is no longer on the notification screen and the tweet/facebook buttons are gone either. But, now I can see my calendar and stocks and other stuff there too... so having to click on the forecast to see the temp is a trade off I guess I'm ok with.
The "flat" UI is much nicer to look at. The Facebook app looks so much better now... whenever I go into mint it is more shocking now how dated the faux 3D, rounded corners and shadowing look. Yes, I prefer the FLAT UI.
What do I miss from Android... mainly two things...
1. Widgets... hello, Apple WAKE UP!
2. The ability to layout of the home screens as I want, rather than have to deal with the flow layout.
Sure, it was nice in Android to be able to replace the keyboard, default text app and a few other things... but frankly the iOS keyboard is excellent as is iMessage.
