Some comments:

  • Unlocking your phone using face recognition. Very sci-fi.
  • Heavy usage of core video animations, as the background seems to actually rain when moving from screen to screen.
  • Assuming that users know the difference between the cellular signal and wi-fi is a bold statement — seems to bolster the argument that this phone is for “CS geeks”. Also note the screenshots highlighting how much data people are using on their phone (file under “who cares”)
  • Google+ integration, which is important for the service to gain traction.
  • Does this remind you of another phone interface?
  • Some great photo editing features, and the camera app looks much cleaner.

Overall, the new OS has a powerful feature set that will appeal to less than 10% of individuals wanting to purchase their first smart phone.
