Apps updated for iOS 7

There's a difference between updating an app so it works with iOS 7, and updating it with the new APIs so it matches iOS 7's new style. These apps were just updated so they would work.
I would expect the developers are working on updating the look as well, and you have the wrong attitude about it. Cut them some slack.
Thanks for posting this! That looks exactly like the screengrab from the keynote. You are not getting in trouble now I hope?
Such a shame they are moving away from the very functional side menu.
I've seen that before, and that screenshot is a mockup made over a month ago. This isn't the final app, but it is a good representation of what it could look like.

Not an actual screenshot. It's a mockup you can find on http://ios7redesigns.tumblr.com
So here are my predictions of apps the will be updated for iOS 7 on iOS 7's public release date.
- Facebook Messenger (maybe)
- Spotify
- TuneIn Radio (maybe)
- Twitterific (already confirmed its coming)
- Every Apple app (duh)
- Foursquare
- Soundhound
- Skype
- Dropbox
- Kik Messenger
- Mailbox (...it "on their list" ...just like Outlook support and icloud support for the last 6 months...ahem sorry)
I am beta testing the new UI just in black. Quite nice. I hate the news feed though 'cause it feels like there's something missing and it won't stick at recent activities.
It just doesn't feel like 20 employees, there probably just aren't more than 20 employees working at Whatsapp. It's a very small team.
I dunno, Whatsapp was originally developed for iOS. Took them about 1½ year to develop an Android version.
I hope so, but Spotify took months to adopt the iPhone 5 so I'm definitely not holding my breath on a release day version.
I don't think Skype will get a redesign, it's already flat and iOS 7-like. Still has to be updated for the keyboard, though.
Instacast 4 and Pocket Casts 4 will be out on day one.
Can you post a screenshot?

Ive seen this layout on some iOS6 phones, downloaded from the appstore, not a beta.
Capital One updated today to be "compatible with iOS7".
I think we will be seeing a lot of that, and then over the next year the design changes will emerge to adapt to the new flat UI that apples is going for. I think they are getting a lot of encouragement from apple to update to look consistent.
Maybe they will start denying apps in the store unless they update the UI. That would be an interesting story for macrumors.

These mockups look great. I've seen a few similar ones so I hope we get something beautiful from the official app.
A lot of people are talking about updating apps to make them "consistent" with iOS 7 UI. Just a note, there are at least a couple of ways to interpret that I think.
One of the simplest might be updating the some of the common UI elements to use the newer versions - e.g. the keyboard, the table views (e.g. see the difference in Settings). I believe these changes will relatively simple and straightforward for developers to do.
Another thing is to completely redesign the app so there's less gloss, so they use common UI elements instead of their own, etc. etc.. There's no straightforward way to do this, lots of people will do this in different ways to varying degrees. This might take longer and some may never choose to completely overhaul their design.
