Ok, maybe you can explain this to me then. Before iOS7 came out there were a bunch of people saying that Apple had to stop holding users hands as much.
Could you point to an example? 'Hand holding' could mean many different things. Hiding configuration settings? Verbose instructions? Big shiny pulsating continue buttons?
If you mean people were complaining that the controls were too visually complex and they attempted to differentiate themselves too much, I guess personally I'd have to disagree with those people.
