Apple’s UI changes from iOS 7 to iOS 8 are often subtle, yet incredibly extensive. Spacing, positioning, and font sizes and weights were liberally tweaked and adjusted. To our surprise, almost every icon was redrawn as well. Even the lowly chevron and back arrow were reworked.
Mercury has released free vector UI kit for iOS 8. This file is compatible with Adobe Illustrator CC and newer. They’ve focused on making this file pixel-perfect. Everything is on a pixel, when possible, so that all assets are sharp and clean. They have also grouped like elements together so that it’s easy for you to grab an asset and drag it to your file or do isolated editing.
