iOS 7: 'All the Leaks Are Wrong'

[hydr]

Polarizing means taking away "light". No more reflections or 3d effects.

 

[SandboxGeneral]

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

My guess is that it means 7 will be totally different than past iterations of iOS.

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

1 Polarization (politics), the process by which the public opinion divides and goes to the extremes.

2 Polarization (psychology), the process whereby a social or political group is divided into opposing sub-groups

 

[Erwin-Br]

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

I'm not sure, but I read it as in some changes will be so extreme that people will either hate it or love it, no middle ground.

It means it divides people. You love it or you hate it.

 

[gatearray]

gruberrrrrrrr!!!

 

[samcraig]

AHA! Reverse psychology - it's exactly as the rumors say - but now it will again be a surprise because no one will be expecting it!

"It's a trap!"

 

[chambord]

"All the leaks are wrong"? So the '7' on the banner isn't flatter?

The only "leak" I'm aware of is that (of course) blurry screenshot showing slightly "flatter" iOS icons. Nothing else really. The deals Apple signed for "iRadio" seem to be pretty legit.

 

[ValSalva]

Polarizing means that people are going to either love it or hate it. There isn't going to be much room for being neutral about it.

 

[PBP]

your point being?

He's not always right.

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

They're making the two OS's more consistent.

[rmwebs]

So it's not going to be called iOS 7?

iOSX.

Its going to happen eventually. Now's a good a time as any.

(Note: I hate the idea.)

So lets see what rumors we've heard:

- iRadio
- iOS Flat Design
- AirDrop
- AppleTV App Store
- Siri on OS X
- MBA Change
- MBP retina change

And all are wrong...?

Quite funny, if you're joking! If not...

 

[SgtPepper12]

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

It means that some will love it and some will hate it. You can substitute it with "controversial", maybe.

 

[Feed Me]

He's not always right.

where was it ever proved that iOS wasn't running behind schedule, and that people weren't pulled from OS X 10.9 to work on it?

 

[GoGa]

So lets see what rumors we've heard:

- iRadio
- iOS Flat Design
- AirDrop
- AppleTV App Store
- Siri on OS X
- MBA Change
- MBP retina change

And all are wrong...?

He specifically said leaks, not rumours.

 

[sprawl2]

nevermind.

 

[Shrink]

amazing jawdropping unexpected amazeballs magnificent

And just for a change of pace...

 

[JAT]

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

No idea. I thought Apple was already polarizing since 1975. Either hate or love from consumers.

 

[Prototypical]

Is Gruber an "analyst?" Because this seems like something an analyst would say.

"I can't verify any of this, but my guesses are more right than everyone else's guesses."

 

[TC03]

I don't get it. There haven't been leaks except for one crappy spyshot.

I think the person talking meant concepts or mockups that have been popping up everywhere.

 

[jotwee]

Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

Of course it means you need polar glasses - iOS 7 will be 3d ;-))

 

[bigjay33]

Polarizing. Look at the definition and you can now see the wave correlation with the wave poster on "X". Anyways it's going to be very exciting tomorrow.
