iOS 7 Expectations & Wants

It will definitely be worth watching a live stream, or at least watching the video back at some point. Seeing the UI in action is a lot better than static screen shots.

If the main pillars of the new experience are a flat look, content before chrome, bold colours and typography with a focus on motion and activity, then unfortunately it will be little more than a rip off of the Microsoft design philosophy.

As a tech fan, I really hope they don't go down that road. The last thing I want to see is platforms converging into one homogeneous gloop. Part of me wishes they would stick to their guns somewhat with regards to the 'skeuomorphism' thing. I don't think many people will miss stitched leather effects in their apps, but certain metaphors like a compass or sticking a pin in a map, buttons, switches and dials looking like (shock horror) buttons, switches and dials, is not inherently a bad thing. They just aren't en vogue.
 
They just don't give you any inform that is a big issue.
They need their own version of live tiles/widgets.

That is number 1 want and needs sorting.
 
You know whats odd? no leaks this time, about anything! Even hardware (MBP, etc) related.
Hope Apple have something nice or expectations could get crazy with no leaks - and then a potentially bigger disappointment.
 
Can't wait to get my mitts on this :D

My favourite features at the moment:
Infinite folders - seriously... This is great :p
Control Center - It's about time! :p
Activation Lock - I'm sure the New York mayor will be happy about this nice little feature!
Better multitasking
Easy back and forward swiping

Personally thought it looks more like a Microsoft OS, but yeah I see what you mean too.

Surprised this'll run on the 4, normally they kill off the lowest model with a new iOS release. It'll probably run like a dog but hey.
 
It looks like part android part WP8 with its look. I am not really a fan of Apple but my work phone is an iPhone and I do quite like the look of iOS 7. It has a very fresh look to it.
 
No it looks pretty much the same.

Yeah I'm not wowed with all the icons, but hey it's his first stab at it, can't expect him to hit home runs everywhere straight away.
 
Flippin' eck. It does look a lot like Android.

Yep, I'd go with WP personally. More style than Android (from someone with an Android phone at the moment).


Looks great and it may be what finally pushes me over the edge to get an iPhone. First the hardware was sorted (the 4 and then the 5), now the OS has been modernised and doesn't look like the grey man...

Wonder what it looks like on an iPad mini!
