WWDC 2013 will start very soon and now is a good time to reflect on the updates. Of course, the main thing is waiting for the whole world from Apple - a radical update of its iOS mobile operating system, which in recent years greatly slowed down the pace of introduction of new functions. And its design has practically not changed since the release of the first iPhone OS in 2007. But something tells me that on June 10 we have a good chance to see the iOS in a new guise.
This is evidenced by the numerous insider information, and WWDC 2013 logo, and even the recently published the official conference app. Using this and all that is known about the appearance of iOS 7 at this time, Steve King, the developer has created an interactive concept of iOS 7, based on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So let's see, what will the new iOS at King's opinion.
The very concept can be found on the site Recombu. We must pay tribute to the King - he got a very high quality and interesting. Operate the Home button and the Sleep / Wake, redrawn icons for all standard applications. Has changed a bit and lock-screen, there was a widget with quick setup of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Airplane Mode. King even reworked some applications, such as Phone, which refreshed dialer.
Besides Phone.app, King realized in the concept of update messages, calendar, camera (by the way, you may even can take a snapshot of it with the help of a webcam), reminders, notes, mail, web browser and music player. Plus, Steve added new notification.
That's what he tells King the process of creating this concept:
Based on the leaked photos in the network and new applications WWDC, we can assume that in the design of the new operating system is likely to be larger and less flat elements gradients.
Skeuomorph elements will be minimized. This means that, for example, in the application Notes fewer elements present, the living pad and instead, the application will have a simple design with a clean cloth and text.
My concept is designed to acquaint users with a new way to interact with the iOS7-devices. From a technical point of view, in front of me I had the task to create the model without the use of any images, but instead, to apply on the basis of HTML and CSS icons and applications.
Personally, I think this concept is quite plausible. Of course, it is unlikely we will see iOS 7 a hair's breadth the same concept as the King, but the basic gist is, in my opinion, has been transmitted correctly. Yes, it is possible that iOS 7 will indeed become more flat, despite my assumptionsBut I hope that if such a decision and will be used in iOS, it will eventually go mobile OSes benefit.
What do you think about this concept of iOS 7? Will you be pleased to flatter iOS? What you want to see it? Leave your answers in the comments.
