Some Problems in the New Interface iOS 7

For most users, the transition from iOS 6 to iOS 7 has been pleasant and satisfying and can finally enjoy the new features that Apple came asking for some time. The system is releasedskeumorfismo layer covering him, taking a new look much more simple and clear.

However, as with any major change in design, also found some problems in some parts of the system, such as conflicts between colors, or simple inconsistencies confusing functions. Then review some of the little mistakes at the interface level we can find iOS 7.

Controls disappearing

In iOS 7 transparencies have reached almost every corner of the system. Are really great, but they can also pose a problem when it comes to pale colors. If by chance one of the background colors when viewing a video match the color of the controllers to increase or decrease volume, we find that they simply disappear.

In the example you can see exactly how to bring color promotional video of iPhone 5s Player hidden drivers.

The new Music app

The first problem arises under "Artists". Earlier in iOS 6 when pulsabas on this section could choose the artist you were looking for and within it are displayed the different albums for you to choose one in which the song was.

Now things have changed, once you choose an artist, albums and songs are combined into a single view, so it can be tedious to scroll between songs, if we have many, to find what we seek.

On the iPad, we are faced with another "inconsistency" in the same application. Earlier in the box "Artists" could see up to 20 of them at the same time maximizing the screen size. Now, we can only see 8 as if it were an extended version of the iPhone application and not specifically designed for the iPad.

The status bar and navigation

In iOS 6, the status bar and navigation were independent of each other, the first black or a color gradient to match the navigation bar. In iOS 7 the two bars are unified and both adopt the same color.

For the record, I much prefer this than the iOS 6, but as a problem to find applications. For example, in the Facebook app the status bar and navigation is blue, but when he opens the chat sidebar, the status bar automatically switches to black.

The new gesture to access Spotlight

While in iOS 6 had a reserved display the Spotlight search, which was located to the left of each and came marked by a small magnifying glass icon in iOS 7 things have changed. As an example of extreme minimalism, magnifier and have disappeared from the system tab.

Now, if we want to access Spotlight search, we slide down anywhere on the screen (without deploying Notification Center, of course). This may not be very intuitive for users, you probably discover this access by chance and not by sheer intuitiveness.

As Gigaom have picked up on , there are other small problems throughout the system, but nothing but trouble could catalog them as functions somewhat complicated to figure out due to the adoption of such extreme minimalism.

What do you think about it? Do you think iOS 7 presents other design problems that we have not mentioned?
