iOS 7 is 3D!
''all the leaks are wrong'' = flat design is only flat by graphical design, but it is wrong because it is 3D, not flat
''polarizing'' = polarized glass, from left side is only visible the left pixel, from right side only right pixel = for two eyes this is a 3D picture, something similar as picture on Range Rover navigation display
''rainbow 7 on banner'' = color polarization
''dots in 3D area on banner'' = OS7 placed into 3D space

I don't think that'll happen. iOS and OSX are both pretty similar in how they look and operate. The only difference is that OSX is built specifically for a desktop environment using a keyboard and mouse, whereas iOS is specifically built for a touchscreen environment.
The problem with combining them is that a mouse is not a finger. After testing Windows 8, I found it was extremely awkward to use without a touchscreen. It looked really nice, but wasn't quite as efficient as it would've been had they customized and separated the two methods of use.
I don't think Apple will ever completely combine the two, but rather continue to make them both look and work similarly, while still maintaining the benefits of each.
Indeed there has to be some middle ground. Looking at these "awesome" Google app designs makes me cry.
Have to agree on this one. The Clock in Android 4.2.2 is not a great (or even good) app.
Their built in clock widget is great but the clock, timer and lap timer are pretty bad.
lol no ... ill never get an android for the fact alone that i hate its update cycle but the ui of their apps is so much better and with the time while the iphone calender and mail apps look like a retro toy from 2007 by now.
im no longer even using Safari nor mail etc on my iPad / iPhone but instead replaced them with its google and other 3rd party counterparts.
praying ill see some new, updated and fresher looking apps tmrw
personally i love the Google Now ui the most
Games have the BEST INTERFACE of all! I would love to see an OS completely with game interface like in Tron!

i dont get it
It is interesting to note, that the "X Wave" banner has 10.9 on the reverse side, and the "7" banner has no mention of iOS, the reverse side is exactly the same.
There are 7 colors in the iPod rainbow (not including the iPod Touch)
MAYBE not only does the banner have to do with iOS 7, but the number "7" as well.
7 products? 7 colors?
Just a thought.

1. He knows that someone at Apple told him that "all the leaks are wrong"
2. He never posted this on Daring Fireball, Twitter, or indeed anywhere, so what "fishing for website hits" is he doing?
3. The tip that "all the leaks are wrong" was literally mentioned by him in a throwaway, offhand manner during a 1h 30m podcast, of which this discussion took up about 30 seconds.
So am I.
Gruber isn't one of these pundits.
You seem to be projecting personality traits and behaviours which Gruber simply doesn't exhibit here.
Correct. You've arrived at the right conclusion, in a roundabout manner.
Don't blame Gruber for the fact that a snippet of some banter he had in a podcast was taken and made into headline news on your favourite Apple site on the eve of WWDC.
Don't blame Gruber for the fact that you failed to read the article and check the source before saying OMGZ GRUBEZ SUCKS WHAT A IDIOT GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS PINDUTS THESE DAYS.
Me? I choose to listen to Gruber because he knows what he's on about, because he works for himself and not some crappy tech news conglomerate, and because he has a perfect track record with regards to these minor Apple leaks and tidbits.
You can choose to dismiss him if you like, but don't be a dingus.
1. buttons
2. checkbox
3. radio
4. lists
5. grids
6. text
7. styles
8. colors
9. animations
I want an iPad where every object in a 3d plane is a sprite. An object that itself is animated and performs actions upon an event thats triggered.
My take on iOS development
In addition to new features, a new iOS always introduces new tools for developers. I'm still catching up with everything from iOS 6! Always more to learn.
For aspiring iOS developers, I posted an article on my blog to help them get a jumpstart on the eve of WWDC. http://bit.ly/ZD4GwB

Polarizing is good. Apple products aren't meant for everyone. Certainly not for people with bad taste.
But at the same time, when I think Apple, I think about a company that makes products that people like at first sight. I think iOS 7 might look odd at first, for like half a second, then it'll look amazing. I know... I'm dreaming...

That's silly. NDAs are signed by people who work for a company that mandates NDAs. Gruber doesn't work for Apple, therefore, is not under any legal obligation to keep it secret. Also, Apple employees aren't allowed by contract to even hold a podcast, blogs, or post to technical forums remotely related to speculation of possible future products. Think about it; he'd already be out of a job.
It had not ads and usually loaded faster but other that that it was sucky and fugly as hell.
It's almost like the content makers want money for... making content.
They should just do it for free, right?
Quite ironic that the biggest Apple fan site in the world does not have an iOS optimised site, don't you think?
Yeah, I really do think.
You really think Apple would have been able to keep that app sans ads indefinitely? I'm not crazy about the ads on YouTube either but I've learned not to expect something for nothing and a free app will either have advertising or reduced functionality. You get what you pay for.
wow, can't wait to see what they will bring up. hopefully it'll be better than the concepts we've seen until now.
Agree with Midi_Evil if you want, but the interpretation is wrong either way since "polarization" still means the exact opposite of what both you and he or she have said. (Of course, we still don't know what this is referring to, but I think the most salient interpretation refers to users' opinions. It would be quite awkward to make this about a comparison between the two OSes.)
Apple has been using Helvetica Neue for years (though not the ultra light weight). Don't read into that too much. Actually, I see that you're joking--but it's hard to tell since so many take things like that seriously.

Seriously? I tried that on my Mac, and it got annoying fast.
This is what comes from believing rumors.. Now, we also hear Mac Pros ....
Something not previously said.....
Thus, is why i never take all these rumors seriously...... It would be good to see some, but i won't be disappointed if Apple hows us all a "curve ball" like they've done previously.
*rant beginning*
One thing... I sure hope iRadio *doesn't* make its way to Apple TV ....
I could never understand why Digital TV Audio only channels made its way to TV in the first place. I guess some people out there DO actually use a TV for that..
Personally, I'd just use a computer or Hi-fi.... My TV is not used for "Audio only" device.....
These days though, it only makes it one with devices like the Apple TV, or set-top box
*rant end*
