What iOS6 should have been?

Looks nice. I've thought about doing something similar myself (I'm a graphic designer/animator) but for TVs/Set top boxes because I don't think I'ver ever come across a good UI on one.
 
Probably use the concept for iOS 7.

Serious problem with iOS and it appears in general of late is, yearly developments such as this and their hardware just don't feel a big enough step, more like what you'd expect from a large update midway through, not a new generation. Shame.
 
Very nice ideas! I particularly like the notification center being behind the home screen - That's the way it should have been!

Also mission control is nice instead of the current multitasking bar :)

I wonder how long before some swift programmer gets coding for the jailbreak scene :p
 
Can't view the video as i'm at work but although the pictures look snazzy I think they're all bad ideas:

Tiled task switcher:
Wouldn't work as
1) when you open the task switcher the screenshots will be all from the last time you opened the app unless you constantly keep the previews updated (kills battery). Because of this you see for example a facebook tile with an interesting photo, you tap on it, it opens the app and updates your news feed, this will completely change what's shown on screen and is just frustrating for the user as what they went to see has disappeared, same with news apps, maps (if you move position), emails... etc.
2) although they have a pretty example in the mockup in real usage the screenshot doesn't really tell you what the app is very well. like if you have Messages, Mail and Twitter tiles they're only a quarter of the screen each and showing pretty much the same thing, you're not going to be able to differentiate.

Messages screenshot:
Sure looks pretty but it just shows the same as notification centre and if you want to do anything else like reply or compose you have to open the messaging app which is an extra step and frustrating.

Flipboard screenshot:
Just seems to waste 1/4 of the screen, why not just have the app full screen.

Most of this stuff seems to go against the Apple philosopy that when you use an app the phone becomes like a dedicated machine for that app, like when you open safari the iPhone becomes a 'web browsing machine' rather than a phone with a safari widget. I think it works best this way as you get the best use of the screen real estate and the app doesn't have to worry about other things going on on the screen.
 
Tiled task switching works fine on Android, when you background an app - it will (in most cases) freeze the app until you bring it to focus again. An app knows when it's being refocused and not just 'opened' - so using your example, the Facebook app should know not to refresh the newsfeed when coming back into focus.
 
I do agree with some of the changes that this concept makes, as quite frankly, some of the things that have been done in iOS 5 feel quite...un-Apple-like, for want of a better word.

The way that Apple have done the notification area never felt right to me, always felt grafted on. The current multitasking bar lifts the current display content up, so why doesn't NC push it down?

The other one is the multitasking bar itself. The way that Apple implemented it was always stupid; you have a whole 3.5" of display to play with, so why restrict application switching to a single row?

There are parts of the concept that I disagree with, however.

Firstly is the app updates/flipcons idea. You can see the latest content, however this is of little use as you can't really do anything besides that (for example, news articles). Much like widgets in Android, after using them I've learnt that they are nowhere near as useful as people like to claim that they are. If you wanted updates on Facebook notifications, you could simply open the app! The issue with the flipcons idea is that you would require constant updates of the app's content; for example, Facebook would require push of not just the user's notifications, but everything, which of course would not have a great effect on battery life if say, pictures, were constantly downloaded. News applications could benefit, but again, an app with a well designed interface that makes it easy to see the latest articles would be just as useful here.

The Mission Control screen, in my opinion, should do away with application previews altogether; when using such a feature you are usually looking for the application you are going to be working with, rather than anything else. A preview isn't really necessary, as it wouldn't really be able to show enough useful detail, and you wouldn't need the information provided in a preview - if you did, as above you'd simply open the app. Live application previews wouldn't work well for the same reason - there simply isn't enough detail, and push/persistent running would be required.
