Apple’s iOS refresh is both fantastic and maddeningly annoying. The layers are a nice touch while the colors make me feel like I’m holding some sort of garish piece of candy created by children at a birthday party. And the customization? Better than ever before — but there’s not much to customize, really, and if you’re not paying attention the bleed-through dominate color from your wallpaper photo might infuse your phone with a pesky shake of Pepto-Bismol pink.
But then implementations come to the rescue. Multitasking is fantastic. The new Safari is far more usable than I first thought. iTunes Radio is sweet. And the Photos app? Finally usable for managing hundreds, if not thousands, of photos on your iPhone.
