iOS 7.1 New Shift Key

[Just_Me_D]

What do you think of the new look SHIFT key? Do you like it or do you prefer the old one?

I like it. But I'm sure they'll be a fair share of difference of opinion.

I like the way 7.1 shift key is I use to get confused on 7.0

I'm liking the new version better.

Looks pretty cool, definitely like the caps lock one

Your reply made me laugh...

Call me crazy, but I prefer the old one. It has gotten me a couple times already today. It's like they just reversed it to say they made a change. I do like the new look of the keyboards and call buttons though.

It's not a big deal to me. It's fine, I don't have a problem with it.

I like the new one better. I find it pretty smart how the arrow jumps a brick up if you do caps lock. I think that's new?

Shoot I didn't pay it very much attention really. I did notice that the keyboard was different.

I don't even remember what the old shift key looked like before 7.1.

It's counterintuitive. But so is the entire visual direction of iOS7, IMHO. iOS6 was visually rich and sophisticated, iOS7 is garish, childish, cheap looking and with many subtle changes that negatively impact user experience. Hopefully iOS8 will be more mature.

Opinions on iOS 7's visuals range widely. I like it really and would not apply to any of the negative adjectives that you did. Garish? That would be the 5c to me, but some people love it. Apple can't please everyone.

People will always disagree when something changes?
As for me, when I pick up a device still on iOS 6, I think that looks garish and unsophisticated. Each to their own, of course, but with last year being a major UI overhaul, I doubt there will be significant changes to the overall UI. More refined, sure. Going back to the textures and skeumorphic details, probably not.

Meh. I preferred the the 7.x.x shift lock arrow myself - but let's face it, the OS is 7 years old and they're just moving the deck chairs around at this stage. Short of kiddie'fying the look of the OS with iOS 7, there's little they have done but incremental work that needed to be done. Desperately missing the 'Insanely Great' at this stage - especially when the hardware is lagging behind some of the competition.

iOS 8 is supposed to be the same as iOS 7 with new features and apps. No real UI differences.

Oops, sorry... Anyway, yes Android devices beat Apple in specs and Android is more cutting edge in features and in the cross system compatibility. But - every single Android device I had was problematic in one way or another. At this point, I will take the well executed mediocrity of Apple over the half assed brilliance of Android.

Same here. Plus, it looks cool.
