First iOS 8 Banner Appears at Moscone Ahead of WWDC

[MacRumors]

Apple is beginning to decorate the inside of the Moscone Center ahead of WWDC, adding banners for OS X 10.10 and iOS 8. A photo of the iOS 8 banner has been supplied by BusinessInsider's Jay Yarow, depicting a simple "8" on what appears to be a watery background.

Apple's iOS 8 is expected to retain the same general look as iOS 7, offering polish along with several new features including a health-aggregating "Healthbook" app, new TextEdit and Preview apps, and possible improvements to both Siri and Maps.

We will get our first glimpse of iOS 8 on Monday during Apple's WWDC keynote, which kicks off at 10 AM Pacific Time. Apple will be live streaming the event and MacRumors will also provide a live blog, live tweets via the MacRumorsLive Twitter account, and a spoiler free page for those who want to watch the full keynote at a later time.

Update 11:38 AM PT: MacStories has provided another image of the banner, which can be seen below:

I love this look, just like OS X poster last year.

iOS 8: Now your iPhone is waterproof.

Now covering? Wow, that seems odd for Apple! That water sort of reminds me of Mavericks!

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

A few more days now.

The fact that I am excited about a banner with the number 8 on it is clear proof that I am an  fanboy ! A proud one none the less 

Hurray iOS 8 will be waterproof! It's about time.

.. Hopefully they will bring back aqua design . Just kidding, although i do love aqua design they will never do.

 

[Macdude2010]

Looks amazing! One thing I noticed is that isn’t Helvetica Neue Ultralight.

 

[McFreggle]

OH MY GOD!

It looks like two watches on top of each other!!!
The iWatch is happening!

 

[WJKramer]

"iOS 8" Back to Aqua!

 

[Larry-K]

Hope we don't get a hundred sycophant threads about how great the typography is, as we did on 7.

Is that guard trying to block the picture and failed?

iOS 8: wait one hour before swimming.

 

[Dekema2]

The design is drinkable!!! Omg!

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

Hopefully they will get rid of the awful Safari icon and choose a decent looking one. About the rest, I really wouldn't know what to ask for, but a better functioning Siri and public transportation in Maps.

Really can't wait to see the OSX one...should give us a hint at the name. Last year it was the mavericks wave, but no one knew that.

Why is it ALWAYS an iOS banner? I was hoping i'd be OS X

Looks amazing! One thing I noticed is that isn’t Helvetica Neue Ultralight.

Yup. Interesting shift to Myriad for the '8'.

 

[Yvan256]

iOS 8, now with underwater maps.

 

[xero9]

Okay so where is the guy in the forums from yesterday who said iOS 8 was only a rumor at this point and therefore the iOS 8 sub-forum shouldn't be created yet?

 

[McFreggle]

Why is it ALWAYS an iOS banner? I was hoping i'd be OS X

Last year, the iOS banners came first. A couple of hours later, the OS X banners came. Don't give up yet.

 

[Macdude2010]

Yup. Interesting shift to Myriad for the '8'.

hmm... maybe we will see some design revisions after all, hoping to see more features than iOS 6 brought, it was more like 5.2 than anything else.

I bet all the workers received years of training to contain their excitement properly. I'd be a bit more like:
