The "XIII" in the logo makes me think they're revealing something with watches, since Roman numerals are oft used on analog clocks.

MMXIII = 2013 in Roman numerals; it may just be a coincidence, or maybe it is a clue about a watch.....

They've never used Roman numerals in the WWDC logo, and there's tons of talk about the "iWatch" so that just got me thinking.

More colors

Maybe the phones will come in more than black and white, like the iPods.

 

[GoGa]

Returning to their old colours.

 

[danrees]

The 2013 one is undoubtably the simplest of them all. It could signifying a new light for Apple software.

Or that they had to send out the invites before they have anything concrete to hint at!

Or it could just be them playing witht he fact that, if you view the "W" as two "V", WWDC is all numerals anyway.

 

[beaniemyman]

well, i like that logo and if iOS7's icons are gonna look like that then i have no problem with them.

 

[rovex]

Could be watches + new colour phones.

I like 2013 the best, but that's probably because its the newest. 2010 and 2011 were definitely low points.

They're getting brighter each year!

 

[blitzer09x87]

i don't think there is any connection between the WWDC logo and the iOS7's icons. by the way, that logo is awesome.

 

[chembox]

Bright, flat colors, similar to this:

Does anyone have notes for what was announced at each of the WWDC's? Might shed some light on what the invitation might mean.

I hope it's not, one reason I like Apple of Android is the Android apps are flatter than what Apple uses, but I guess they may all be going in this direction for some reason?

 

[jacobss]

Why does everyone think the colors will be bright.

I really doubt it'll look anything like that. They will likely remove the gloss overlay effect from the icons consistently and continue with very subtle gradients.

I'm not sure why some of the default apps have the overlay and some don't.

 

[sflomenb]

I'm going into this with an open mind. I am perfectly content with how iOS looks now, but I wouldn't mind a change either.

I kind of like the icons all the way they are now, however if they all get too boring, I will just stick with my iPhone 5 and keep iOS 6 on there.

iLike 2011 and 2012 the best. They show off the Apple logo great, making the conference instantly recognizable.

Yes, especially the number XIII. Clocks have 13's everywhere.

well they wouldn't be using the numerals I through XII, seeing how those are from a bygone era (aka so last decade!)

Tell that to the Super Bowl people. Do schools even waste time teaching Roman numerals? Teaching them how to convert to and from binary, hexadecimal and decimal will help kids so much more unless they work at Caesar's Palace.

 

[iJawn108]

Do you also believe in illuminati? Lol..

I do and many other not so spoken of groups of people

 

[SnowLeopard2008]

Of course it's revealed... to the team of Apple engineers working on it!

 

[Shockwave78]

Cook said something along the lines of with iOS 7 everything would be centralized or something along those lines.

It started to make sense afterwards when putting it all together from the other things i have read, along with the icon for this years WWDC

"Centralized"

They are going to have a one click access to all Apple apps/Built in apps that come with the phone. You can imagine hitting one icon and once pressed it branches out like a spyder web(not a folder) somewhat and your built in apps are there. This would be a centralized layout for the standard apps. Somehow they would make it "cool" or "magical" and it won't be just a shortcut to apps, maybe something else when it branches out

I think this is whats going to happen...

I think Steve Jobs is going to come back from the dead.
