I'm classing that as a tiny iOS 7 API, like the keyboard, thus either slipped past review or apple let it go as only a cosmetic API as it were. Now an app using a more serious new API will be the confirmation that Apple have full on changed their process with new iOS app updates.

If Apple had officially started approving app updates using all the iOS 7 aPI's, whereas the new Facebook, Evernote, etcetera that have been seen as ready to come out.....

Additionally the tech blogs would have it on their front pages about the roll out.



See above.

You mean apple accidently pushed around ~10-20 full iOS7 SDK Apps? Yeah sure. I really don't know why you are defending these non-ios7-updates-before-the-18th thingy. Why the big apps like Facebook etc. haven't been released no one knows. But apple is approving a lot of ios 7 sdk apps and not by mistake.
 
How am I on a high horse?! Lol.

Also, apple only started allowing iOS 7 SDK submissions, using the new API's 2 days ago, as confirmed by various tech news sites. 2 days does not constitute 'for a while now'.

You are confusing two different things. Some apps have made updates to fix iOS 7 compatibility or to make the app follow iOS 7 guidelines more closely. That doesn't mean they are using the new SDK. We seen reports of apps for months be released with "iOS 7" changes.

And Apple did recently start asking for iOS 7 submissions but that just means the apps were built using the iOS 7 SDK and target that os level.
 
It could be that Apple is holding back on the big releases so that there is more fan-fare around them and Apple could tout how many downloads from the app store it got on release day or something similar....

Yea, they could have easily batch released some that were in the review process. Apple have released apps earlier than scheduled before, like the Facebook update that enabled Facebook's iPad version a few years back. I'm not convinced its a free for all yet. All the updates that use the new keyboard/status bar are fairly random small apps. If it is now a free for all, then it's a big change in their standard procedure in release of apps for the new SDK since the launch of the App Store. Also how come none of the tech blogs are reporting on the release of the updates using the new SDK, like in previous years. That too shows this is unusual.

I'm not defending, just pointing out this is a total break from normality. You obviously don't get the difference.

Think your post should have been aimed at the person I quoted as I am saying pretty much the same thing as you.

I could easily see the ad on the homepage and App Store. "Download iOS 7 today...all your favorite apps are ready to download."

Starting to really think any all of real daily use is going to wait for the big day.
 
Photoshop was updated but I'm not sure for iOS 7. It doesn't play particularly nice with the mutlitasking switcher like other iOS 6 compiled apps.
It does seem to have the status bar color blending that's new in iOS 7.

It doesn't, the person who posted that picture had the hotspot turned on so it gives an impression of blending status bar but it does not blend. I don't think this PS app update is iOS 7 specific.

There's that. I wonder if that was done in a misleading way on purpose.
 
Until there's an app using the new API's out, then the ones using the new keyboard were either accidentally released before the 18th, or Apple decided the keyboard API wasn't a big thing to delay in reviewing.

You can't know this. It's okay to be wrong, bro. Clearly Apple is clearing these updates which incorporate iOS 7 APIs.
 
really hope to see a instagram update that matches iOS 7 so far have not seen any rumors or screenshots of one.
