Do you want a dark keyboard in iOS?

The less you allow a consmer to customize a product the stronger the brand recognition remains.

The iPhone's branding visuals are:

1. The apple logo on the back of every iPhone
2. The familiar square icons lined up in a grid
3. the familiar circle home button on the bottom.

I jailbreaked my iphone, put it in a case, used a Winterboard theme to change the way all the icons looked and you had to see the confusing looks I got from people when they looked at my phone.

"Is that an iPhone?".

You'd be surprised how these subtle changes confuse people.

If you notice the only UI customizations in iOS 7 relate to accessibility. Of course wallpaper being there from the start. I really don't see Apple allowing users to customize more and more aspects of the UI.

Cases are pretty much the most obvious and main thing that would pretty much affect that, and yet those so prevalent that it's more common to see them than not. I certainly understand about the OS itself and affecting its looks, but even there more of it is being tweaked and more things become "tweakable" (even if through the path of accessibility).

The OS will most likely become more and more tweakable but I just dont see more visual changes being an option outside accessibility.

The funniest thing I've seen in a long time was this guy using a "Macbook" at Starbucks. He put a Apple sticker on his Dell or Chromebook incorrectly so with the lid open the Apple was upside down LOL.

Maybe he was trying to send a message of some sort (kind of like an upside down flag)? But, probably not.
