That's what I was thinking too. I understand the colors scheme, and circles, but the shadow make it look like an amateur graphic designer that just learned about the drop shadow filter.
WWDC 2012 is my favorite of the invitations/banners. There's the iconic apple logo, created by an amalgamation of rounded cubes. The rounded cubes, which is a call back to one of Steve Jobs' most fundamental shapes, are colored in the traditional Apple rainbow with slight translucencies. This creates a sophisticated and modern take on Apple as a company moving forward. It has its roots in simplicity, but is still dynamic and sends the message of creating a user friendly purpose with technological sophistication.
What we see with, what I will call, the iPhone 5C event banner is circles, with drop shadows that harkens back to Photoshop, early 2000's when drop shadows ruled the graphic design realm. All the circles are the same size and have very similar percentage of overlap, which makes a very static image. And then there's the white circle outline, which seems out of place, but is probably to signify a certain aspect in the presentation, I hope. With iOS 7's great use of parallax graphic animation, I'm surprised they ended up on something like this.
Oh well. I'm still very excited to see what they have to bring.
There was a rumor, I believe from John Gruber, where he described the fingerprint sensor home button looking similar to previous home buttons but the etching and the border could become more shiny.
I wonder if the grey rings represent that.
Did you not read what he said? His wife has the iPhone 5.
And even if that wasn't the case, what's it got to do with you?
You don't have to react in such an agitated way. As I mentioned: 'imho', iirc that means 'in my humble opinion'.
I never claimed they would continue to sell a 3.5" screen device with a 30 pin connector either. My thoughts were just that the line-up would slim down to just 5c and 5S (or whatever they will call it).
A brand new model for 0$ with contract seems odd to me, I guess we'll see next week.
iOS7 should make my 5 feel like a new phone.... right?
Having had it since it's beta launch I can assure you that you'll not only get a significant increase in the sheer speed of the OS, it clearly makes your phone literally all new like...
It's blazingly fast... And very smooth...
Just a quick, and undoubtedly obvious point...nobody KNOWS anything at this point.
I know you're right ..but I could be wrong!
Except the animations are very slow in the betas.
Most likely in GM the animations and speed of the OS will be faster due to Apple removing the debugging headers. Which explains bad batter life and slow animations because of this CPU hogging process.
What's so exiting? The ad looks like it's for a 12 yr old girl's birthday party.
Tomorrow, Samsung is going to announce their new Galaxy Note 3. Now, that's something to get exited about!

Having had the beta since launch I can say that the "rings" in terms of the OS have a profound meaning. No more "clocks" while things are loading or downloading - songs etc.. However I'm just sharing an observation - rings are a critical component of the function of ios7
----------
Clearly just like iOS7 color plays a key role in the overall layout of your screen, menus etc.. If you choose a photo with a fair amount of color for your home screen - those dominant colors are carried throught your OS experience
. It appears likely that the 5c will have matching color screens to go with their exterior shell
They got an iphone 4 and posted videos of it online.

Job's even joked about it on stage.
God between this, Samsung's Galaxy event tomorrow, and GTA V in a couple weeks, this will be the best September for any nerd.
That's what I was thinking too. That the grey rings represent the fingerprint sensor - somehow.
True true.. I'm sure they'll have a new feature or two ready on release day - one not dependent on any beta
I'm sure SJ was quoted as saying that if you don't cannibalise yourself someone else will.
Long time lurker, first time poster. There was a rumour going around that the iPhone 5S (Or whatever it is called) would have an aluminium/silver 'ring' around the home button because of the fingerprint scanner.
Looks to me like this is a little hint of that aluminium ring around the home button
Just a thought... But ever since the iPhone 5C has been pretty much confirmed, I've been thinking that this could be part of a future redirection of the iPhone family.
Instead is having a flagship iPhone N and then sell iPhone N-1 and iPhone N-2 as the entry-level/PAYG options, they might change it by introducing a new iPhone N, NS and NC every year. They could even introduce them at different times during the year to maintain interest level. The iPhone N would be the flagship, the NC the low-cost version with last year's internals and the NS could be a bigger screen version of the N to cater to the bigger-screen crowd.
Now I'm not saying that's what they are doing... I'm merely suggesting this as a possibility that would kill two birds with one stone (1- satisfy the bigger-screen enthusiasts 2- keep interest and sales steadier throughout the year and counter the android devices being launched mid-cycle)
