Hi,

What you noticed was actually already present before OTA-10. The only 
change (as far as a casual user like me can see) is in the spinner: it 
does not appear immediately.

I can't find the proper announcement when the new splash-screen with a 
header was introduced, but I'm pretty sure there was one explaining the 
rationale . You can also have a look at the developer documentation here 
(1).

The reason for the exceptions is that apps like Camera, Clock or Browser 
don't have the standard header, so showing a fake header in the splash 
screen is not a very good idea. That being said, Weather does this 
anyway, and Notes has a standard header but uses the default splash… So 
in the end, it's just a matter of taste.

Hope this answers your question!


Guillaume
