Agreed. Likely nothing else.

But the burning question I have is: WILL SAFARI BE "SNAPPIER"?!?!?

FFS this is the single largest issue by FAR...

I seriously think "Safari seems snappier" should be like the iconic quote of these forums.

I don't think iOS7 will be massively changed.

I'm not all that concerned about it to be honest.

Personally, I am perfectly fine if all they do is just fine-tune existing apps and services. Apple has many great ideas, but for some reason, many don't seem to get the attention they deserve.

MAJOR UPDATE: https://www.macrumors.com/2013/04/0...-rumored-to-have-significant-visual-makeover/

Guys, this is the second article that goes against my suspicions of iOS 7 not having a major Ive influence. According to these rumours, iOS 7 will be a major overhaul! It's also said that people who like textures in their software (skeuomorphism) will be disappointed, which really makes me happy.

We'll have to wait a bit, however; iOS 7 is running behind. Apple is apparently pulling engineers from the OS X 10.9 team to work on iOS. But hey, I don't mind the wait because, supposedly, it looks good!

This is the first time I'm getting excited for iOS in a long time. Even though a UI overhaul is likely (and needed) I would rather see a system overhaul instead.

Article: http://www.businessinsider.com/apples-ios-7-wont-be-a-major-overhaul-2013-3

It seems that a lot of people on here expect iOS 7 to be fresh and new due to Forstall's ouster and Ive's inclusion as part of the iOS team, but as the article linked above states, not much can be done in 6 months of product development. ?

This is from business insider who could be pulling it from their butts. They aren't software folks and don't really have a clue

We also don't know what the plans for iOS 7 were before Forstall left. There could have already been a lot of fresh and new already in the works. And to be honest changing many bits of the UI wouldn't be that hard since they are appearance based. Do enough little tweaks and it will be fresh enough for many folks.

Yes, I've come to accept that realization now. Check post #156.

Not expecting much, but I'm sure that Apple will be able to list off 100 new features again!

The default setting for the volume rockers are to change the ringer volume, not the media volume (unless media is playing) - so I use this shortcut quite a lot just before launching a game or something in a public place.
Agreed it should be there, maybe just another swipe along to the left.

OMG! That is brilliant! I always wished there was a way to turn down a video before I started playing it so I didn't have to cover the speaker with my hand until I got the chance to turn it down...Never even thought of this!

 

[bushman4]

New UI could be just whats appropriate for this point in time. Better hardware also coming, however doesn't look like this round holds anything major.

It a very nice concept with some great ideas.I expect if not all but some of those to get its way into iOS 7.All Ive's work showed very rich meaningfull design upto the very slightest and smallest detail with always a clean undisturbing look and feel for the human eye. For me noone ever came close to the design what Apple and in particular Ive has achieved.

Im not looking for a MASSIVE OMG overhaul to the iOS UI. But these subtle changes would be nice..

we need quick toggles e.g turning of wifi from the multitasking bar or maybe a diffrent multitasking bar

I'm guessing you, I and everyone else on MR know about as much as business insider does.

So many people are gagging for widgets, OS X had widgets for quite some time, but to be honest I don´t use them much these days. I do like them, but I hardly use them. A waste of resources it seems. Why would a phone be different? Yes we look at the first screen, but do we REALLY pay attention to the screen? We see the weather by looking out of the window, and we are to some extend aware of the time too.
Widgets are really not needed, a waste of space and processing power.

I would really love a wind speed / direction widget so I know when it's time to play hooky from work and go surfing.

Yay iOS 8!! With iPhone 6!

 

[Premium1]

I could see them starting it so they have something new to show off with IOS7 and then continue refining and adding more in future IOS7 updates

 

[mrmarts]

I wish they make a flipboard home screen like HTC.

You know? that was exactly what I was thinking..

Perhaps apple can make use of the "search bar page", the page on the left of the iPhone home screen. I feel as though that no one really uses the home screen.

I posted some info on how this could work.

Like you said. if apple can use that space to have a live feed or a widget page. it would be awesome.

Apple just needs to "pay" Microsoft to develop (for real) an iOS version of Office. That will sell more iOS enabled devices than any silly-assed UI change.

Hmm...intersting that this patent application just came out. One of the inventors listed on the patent works on the ID team. h/t patentlyapple

Microsoft doesn't want to though.

Office is probably the only good reason why someone should buy a Surface.

I know. That's why I said Apple needs to pay them to do it.
