What path is Apple taking Lloyd?
flat, pale coloring, lack of contrast, skinny fonts. All UI changes that are on the way and started with iOS7.
I noticed the skinny fonts in particular in iOS 7 ... the tip that I read was to go into /Settings/General/Accessibility/ and turn on 'Larger Text' and/or 'Bold Text'. It was an immediate help.
...now here's the interesting part:
Did this sometime later on a setup on an iPad, and found that the 'Bold' was _waaay_ too much. Apparently, in one of the iOS 7.xx updates, they quietly fixed the fonts to make them less skinny.
In any case, try the settings...it's free & easy to undo.

It is when it isn't using the Retina screen that things really get shitty to my eyes.
On the iPad Mini, which I will keep because of Airplay, it doesn't matter 'cause I don't use it for much.
Between the HP all-in-one, SurfacePro and HTC One, I just don't have a need to keep the Mac. So why not sell it now and recover a significant portion of my purchase price?
