Surprised to see texture in Notes and Reminders.

Non-flat app icons really stand out (badly).

iBooks, iTunes U, Find Friends, Trailers — all Apple apps whose icons don't yet appear to have been updated.

Happy to report that iBooks is as skeuomorphic as ever.

Unsurprisingly, icons for websites saved to the home screen no longer have the gloss effect applied.

The new compass app is actually my favourite. Not that I ever used the old one.

You can no longer tweet or update Facebook status from the notification center. The only "native" method to do this is now through Siri, which is unfortunate.

You can also tweet from Safari if your intent is to post a link to the current URI.

Safari no longer displays the contents of <title> anywhere except when viewing multiple tabs.

I didn't expect to still see the old keyboard but I guess it still crops up in some apps that haven't updated. Today I saw it in the Trello app.
