Flipboard hinting at iOS 7 icon design?

[bushido]

lets say apple does indeed change every default icon to something more flat wouldnt the 3rd party apps look like crap next to it unless they force every dev to adjust their app icons before iOS7 goes public

Flipboard is known to be notoriously flat. This is their style, which by chance went the same way as Apple did.

It looks like Google's current iOS design style.

I think Google's recent design language is awesome. I hope they extend it to the android UI as well.

That current TRON look sucks.

I prefer the new Google+ and Google Music UI over the ICS/JB look as well.

Uhm... those are not spheres, they're circles with rounded, bevelled edges.

Is it just me, or does noone seem to have any faith in Apple's remarkable ability to be able to get this right, and squash 98% of these laughable "rumours"? I think people just get scared of change, then allow rumours and their fear to run away with them in their minds, until they become negative and utterly obsessed!

You can count on one thing; Apple's design decisions will be created to be elegant and pleasing, and without being overly styled and "of the time", to last a LOT longer than the (now) current Google UI theming craze, which will no doubt change in iteration, about 10 times in the next year... No, seriously!

Wait and see - it's hardly an age away!

One word: it looks freaking ugly, and I definitely don't want it in iOS 7.

Clean + flat.
