Image of 'Flat' Redesign From Early iOS 7 Build Reportedly Leaks

It's the same damn thing we've been using, just fuzzy/grainy/dark image. This is NOT anything new we are looking at.

No, because it doesn't show anything new and someone wanted desperately to make the front page of MR, which is apparently incredibly easy. They also could have easily taken a screen shot on the phone itself, so yeah total fake.
It's fuzzy and grainy... so you know it's real.
Because its so hard to find a decent camera these days
J Ive
Apple can't be that stupid. Why bother putting Jony Ive in charge of the interface design when flattening/de-skeuomorphing the current icons is something any of their designers could've handled? This "leak" also contradicts the rumblings of a black/white theme that surfaced recently. Granted, just because the icons themselves aren't b&w doesn't necessarily mean the app interfaces won't be, but STILL. What a half-ass effort. This has to be a fake, or a joke.

And I don't debate that - but as I stated, most people are expecting/wanting a more substantial makeover than this screenshot displays.

There's compelling arguments on this thread to support it being fake or authentic. We'll find out next week how accurate it was!
So it sort of sounds like iOS7 is simply going to be a "flat" theme with no real changes to how the operating system operates?
I really hope that isn't the case...I was hoping for a new take on the home screen (maybe keep classic grid as an option).

While he isn't entirely right, he is partially right. Apple is going to claim how groundbreaking iOS7 is when it's mostly just going to be a new theme. I really hope I'm wrong.
for ones bitching about the image being not aligned with the frame, just to remember that those apple guys test iphones disguised of dark boxes, on dark pubs, they have orders just to take photos with cheap qvga phones for reporting.
also they carry dark glasses and sht

A joke? If you didn't mean that statement seriously, why are you still defending it?
And assuming this isn't a fake (big assumption), it's the first and only leak of an iOS 7 image. It's not strange at all that a single leaked image is going to only show one thing. iOS 7 has nothing announced and hasn't gone to public beta yet, if this is a fake then we haven't seen anything at all of it.
And the icon designers aren't going to be the ones to fix those bigger problems. It would really make more sense to have them sit around and do nothing instead of working on icons while the actual programmers fix the other issues?
There were never rumblings of that. Particularly anything about all icons going to black and white. They'll probably take out the yellow "notepad" background, but that's different than making everything black and white.
Nope. We don't know anything yet, and a single blurry screenshot tells us nothing about how it operates. Maybe there will be big changes to functionality, maybe not. We'll all find out next week.
yes, and you forgot the couple new 3rd party background functions that they will now "allow" for The flattest groundbreaking most innovative operating system in the world yet!
I joke but i hope i am wrong.
Who's going to be the first here to find out what Winterboard theme this is?
The dock icons at the bottom have no labels, that's Springtomize, the blank row at the top, probably Gridlock or iBlanks...

Black and White as in the systems UI. The Titles bar and menu buttons NOT the home screen. Rumors state the home screen is going untouched with the exception of cleaned up icons and a panorama wallpapers.
It's all about the strain to you eyes. With minimalistic design language, the eyes and the corresponding neural pathways don't have to work as hard to perceive what you are seeing in front of you.
I wish, just an option to at least hide useless icons, I don't need news stand or stocks etc..
