Look - it's really what business comes down to. Most of what seems to happen organically was actually facilitated by creating and maintaining relationships. But that's not the main point I was trying to make, rather that as develo

Totally agree with that. The key with the App Store is to get a perfect storm of PR and feature to rise above the noise at least for a few hours/days. Then it's up to the product. Without this storm, even a good product (unless it

It's not only about reduced visual clutter. It's about speed. You tend to use certain mobile apps dozens of times a day. A light, fast experience is crucial in this context

good point. Clearly it also has its benefits!

I think that when you repeat that for every non core element, you end up providing a much lighter, cleaner look that allows you to focus on the core content. Check out the app now and wait a few hours for the iOS 7 version, I'd love to

It's not about not being intuitive. It's about the trade off that leads to an emphasis of the design elements for the content. Then functionality. A way to think about it is that iOS 7 gets closer to real world interaction. You do

Right, not new to iOS 7 but this time Apple took the time to make a nice mock of what we shouldn't do!

There is a new settings screen in iOS7 called "Background App Refresh" (under General) which allows users to disable app refreshes altogether or to turn off the ability for specific apps
