iOS 7: 'All the Leaks Are Wrong'

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
🙂

Think....

iOS


OS X


Together they become iOSX. Get it now? 1 OS instead of 2 with the same core.

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.

Is he wrong for having an opinion? When I looked at how clocks look on Android, the only thing that came up to my mind was that they were lazy but pretending not to be by making it flat. I, for one, do not want all skeuomorphic elements to be eliminated, that's the other side of the extreme.

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.

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.

Let me be clear on this: if he knows nothing, he should just keep quiet instead of fishing for Daring Fireball website hits.

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.


I am tired of these so-called "pundits" who know as much as any of us do
Click to expand...

So am I.
Gruber isn't one of these pundits.

yet keep trying to surround themselves in an aura of "holier than thou" knowledge just because they are friends with one or two Apple employees.
Click to expand...

You seem to be projecting personality traits and behaviours which Gruber simply doesn't exhibit here.


Whatever he said means nothing and cannot be proven either way...in other words, as relevant as any other rumor expressed in this thread.
Click to expand...

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...

Agreed. Cook seems true to his word. The rumors this year are much quieter than in previous years.

But I think Gruber knows, he's just under NDA. And he's not above feeding the hype.
Click to expand...

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.

I'm not sure how anyone can say the new youtube is better now with all those ads? I don't use youtube that often anymore since they started those stupid pre-video ads. In the future they will remove the option to skip.

It's almost like the content makers want money for... making content.

They should just do it for free, right?

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.
 
All I need from iOS 7 is a VERY big increase in battery life and to fix the crashes of certain apps (even Apple apps). Oh and Siri on the iPad 2 😀.

Actually, I agree with Midi evil. I think what we are about to see is the polarization of iOS and oSX. It has been heading that way. Was os7 really running behind? Is that why they pulled the oSX team over or was it for integration or "polarization"
Click to expand...

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.)

The use of helvetica Nue font could represent NEW ie something new.

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. 🙂

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*
