It's such attention to detail which made

that is what i was thinking. a rumor came out some time ago that said that apple employees that were given access to the new os would have to put on polarizing filters. if someone tried to capture a photo of the new os, it would be hard to get a sharp, clear picture.
A) The screen position is irrelevant. A privacy film would cause a photo to look like this.
B) If you were taking a picture of a top secret product, you would likely have to take it in a low light situation very quickly. This could easily be an iPhone 5 camera picture but given the conditions, it's going to end up looking terrible.
C) But I still think that this is a Jailbreak tweak on a screen with an older iPhone.
The new iOS always works on a couple of generation of devices at least- they would be testing iOS 7 on iPhone 4, 4S, 5, etc. They were still selling the 3GS up to the time the 5 debuted. I doubt iOS 7 will only work on the next generation iPhone.
Exactly - see what I wrote above.
Actually, the black and white more likely references the 'in app' interface. Look at the podcast app once you've launched it. It's interface is black and silver/white. I have a feeling this is a good idea of what we will see in all Apple apps moving forward.

*IF* this is legit, it makes since. Notice on iOS, up to iOS 6, how the phone and messages apps have the diagonal lines from upper right to lower left, the mail app has clouds, safari compass points etc. Plus the oval highlight in the upper half. I bet all that little detail is gone and they look more like the facebook, dropbox, photoshop app icons. Subtle, flatter, but not drastic.
Yes, exactly. This is not even a good rumor
it's a photo of an iphone showing a photo of it taking a photo of another iphone with ios 7
Right on point ...... we r been taken for granted as any news will sell fast now and increase web traffic
just 7 more days ........ please be patient
Seriously? You need change? An OS all of a sudden becomes useless if it does not require radical retraining? Do you even have a job? Must be nice to be one of the idle rich.
If you are so fickle then you are either too rich or simple don't use apps/games on the iPhone right now. You would be better served with a glossy/fake smartphone that is just a feature phone with a series of themes that you can set.
I actually hate the idea of change for the sake of change. I am not defined by the gadgets I use and I really don't care what other people think is "hip" or cool. I defined those for myself. If I was a hipster then I would be constantly chasing trends instead of setting them.
Looks like a lot of people here want change for change's sake to add excitement in their lives.
It's a good thing they're not using Android cos that platform didn't even get an update this year. Not a bad move considering how buggy 4.2 is.

The iPhone 5 has 8-megapixel camera with advanced lens technology ever built into a phone, the Galaxy S4 has improved camera, the Nokia Lumia 920 and Pureview 808 capture photos in low-light impressively good for a mobile phone. Now why is this photo looks blurry? Come on now.
This is a false efficiency that you mention, filled with buzzwords stolen from Apple marketing (you shouldn't plagiarize). Sure you go from lock screen to a sea of app icons. Great.
1) To get a quick view of 3 types of info: weather, new emails, top news. You have to go in and out of 3 apps. How many button presses and data loads is that? Unfortunately, Notification Center is half baked.
2) Folders seems like a band-aid approach to app organization. Not elegant, it uses the old desktop paradigm.
3) "Fast" app switching takes 2 physical button presses and a screen tap.
4) The multitude of icon designs clashes with the physical hardware. Screen after screen of ugly icons is hardly a "minimalistic design focused on the user"
.
I don't think iOS7's UI will be completely one or the other, there's a happy medium in there. I think the new UI Google has been pushing in their newer apps is that happy medium.
Winner! This person has the real leaked picture.
Funny thing: you post that on a well viewed blog and within hours that picture could be viral and I bet even MacRumors would make an article about it! Be ready you're about to be first page!
Could someone please point out the changes? Looks identical to current at least with this level detail.
