Dear Johnny Ive,
What were you doing the whole time?

Cpt. Cook Closer: "I'd like to close this morning with a reminder. That our goal at Apple is to make amazing products that our customers love. Really great products that enrich peoples' lives. The words you saw at the beginning of the show are more than just words to us. They are the values we live by. They drive us. You've seen them reflected in our products over the years ... And you'll continue to see them reflected in the products we do over the future."

Anyway, the Store is now back up with new stuff.

The old one doesn't look dated. I haven't looked at it much, so may be more objective.
Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember the switch from Mac OS 9 to OSX. OSX looked great in screenshots, promised the moon, etc. But in practice the UI was worse, the Aqua look wasn't better and eventually OSX went back to platinum/patina simple shapes and got rid of the Aqua overload.
It's probably some art director switch or designers got bored of the old look. Or they're trying to advertise iOS7 as something new. They won't let it stand for long, they have to look at the thing all day and will notice it's not all that.

Helvetica Neue. I always liked it for print and static design. But I have problems using it for anything dynamic.

Apart from the stiched leather and green felt (+ some other skeumorphism) I do not understand how the old gradients and shadows cannot be considered "true to form" and why they had to change everything.
They should have done a thurrow cleanup, but not gone this far. In my opinion there is not better way than to utilize gradients and shadows/depth to layout graphical elements on a computer screen.
Seems like the apple designers got cocky and though they could pull of some kind of minimalizm-bauhausish-überdesign and ended up with an emperor without clothes. In my experience, this is not how real design works.
If people think the old style got boring, then I think that will happen exponentially faster with the flat style, which in my opinion is far less expressive.

You are all acting like a bunch of magnificent dildos. Seriously, if this is such an affront to your design sensibilities, go buy a landline phone, and start mailing letters more to communicate with people.
Like you're gonna fucking die to have to use this update. Christ.
