As much as people disliked iOS’ new icons, there’s a certain cohesiveness about having all the styles match up. The Notes icon is still a yellow legal pad, which looks odd against the improved design. Notes has also lost its skeuomorphism, replacing the fake yellow-lined paper with a subtly-patterned off-white sheet - though it’s still just an ultra-simple app that syncs with your iPhone.īut for all the design changes, Apple forgot about the icons. Contacts now looks more like an email client, with a column of names on the left and detailed information in a larger window on the right - a big improvement over past versions’ book-like design, complete with fake binding stitching.
Contacts and Notes also received much-needed facelifts, but little more.
