Zum Design und zu den Features wurde heute noch mehr bekannt. Demnach soll iOS 7 ohne Farbeffekte und beinahe ohne Farben daher kommen.
Das Ende der Retina Displays? Wohl kaum. Dennoch listet iPhoneHacks genau dies auf. Das Design soll „black, white and flat all over“ sein. Wirklich Apple? Schwarz / Weiss? Nun wir werden es an der Keynote am 10. Juni 2013 erfahren.
Sperrbildschirm und Mitteilungszentrale werden ganz anders aussehen. Letzteres bekommt „Knöpfe“ für WLAN, Bluetooth und mehr. App Icons kommen ohne Effekte, sehen also flach aus. Die runden Ecken sollen bleiben. Ein über mehrere Seiten gestecktes Wallpaper (wie bei Android) soll möglich sein.
Die Wetter-App soll Regentropfen oder andere Animationen verpasst bekommen. Der Kalender bekommt rote Tasten, die Nachrichten-App grüne Tasten (cool!)
Apps wie AppStore, Zeitungskiosk, Game Center, Safari und Kamera werden grosse Änderungen erhalten.
Flickr und Vimeo sollen laut den neusten Gerüchten in iOS 7 integriert sein. Apples Karten-App und Siri sollen besser für die Fahrt mit dem Auto angepasst sein.
iOS 7 spendiert dem Betriebssystem von iPhone, iPod touch und iPad die erste grosse grafische Änderung. Das ganze könnte so aussehen wie das ganz unten angefügte Video – oder auch ganz anders…

Hier die ganze Liste der „möglichen“ iOS 7 Features von iPhoneHacks.

• iOS 7 will feature a “black, white, and flat all over” design instead of the heavy textures that iOS users are accustomed to.
• Ive has apparently stated in meeting that he believes that designs filled with physical metaphors, which is popularly called as skeuomorphism “does not stand the test of time”.
• Lock Screen
  • Apple plans to replace the “shiny, transparent time bar” on the top of the Lock screen with “a shine-free, black interface.”
  • The square-grid for entering the passcode will be replaced with “round, black buttons with white text and white borders.”
  • It looks like users will finally be able to dismiss notifications on the lock screen with gestures.
  • 9to5Mac says “overall, the Lock screen is different than what users have become accustomed to, but it functions in a similar manner.”
• Notifications
  • Notification center will sport a “dark/black color background with white text” instead of the dark linen background.
  • Notification center will come with new widgets for localized news feed and quick access to Settings toggles for Wi-Fi, Airplane Mode, and Bluetooth etc.
• Home screen
  • App icons will come with rounded edges like we have currently, but will “lose shine, shadows and gloss.”
  • App icons of most of the stock iOS apps have been redesigned with “flatter, less-skeuomorphic textures.” The Game Center app icon will “lose the green felt and chess pieces”.
  • You will be able to add panoramic wallpapers, which sounds like the scrolling live wallpaper available on Android.
• Other changes
  • Navigation and tab bars have been redesigned to remove gradient textures and may instead come with a “slight blurring effect”.
  • Status bar is likely to be less transparent than the one in iOS 6.
  • The system-wide virtual keyboard may get a minor design change. The design is “a lighter shade of grey and does not include shadowing.”
• Apps
  • Not surprisingly, the stock apps have been redesigned to fit iOS 7′s white, black, and flat theme.
  • The shredding animation when you delete a Passbook has been removed.
  • The Notes app will sport a “flat white look” instead of yellow notepad like design.
  • Mail, Calendar and Maps app will also sport a “more uniformed look with flat white textures.”
  • 9to5Mac goes on to add that “while the core elements of those apps are mostly white, each app has been given a unique button color. Essentially, each app has a white base with a respective color theme.”
  • The Calendar app may come with red button, whereas the Messages app may come with green controls.
  • App Store, Newsstand, Game Center, Safari, Camera, and Weather apps will also come with “significant transformations.”
  • The Weather app will come with animations to highlight rain, sun or snow. According to their source the Calendar app may look something like below design, which was posted on Dribbble.
