iOS 7: 'All the Leaks Are Wrong'

I personally thinking merging iOS and MacOS would be a disaster as well, as Microsoft has proven with Windows 8. I have no interest in running IOS apps on my Mac...I have an iPhone and iPad for that. I use my Mac because I like the Mac and Mac software. I use my iPhone and iPad because I like running my iOS apps on those devices.

Don't try to a make toaster from parts of a fridge and don't try to make a fridge out of toaster.

Convergence for the sake of convergence doesn't make sense to me. We'll see what Timmy says tomorrow.

I hate the Android UI as a whole, the kindles being the most except able to-date (but still messy).

The thing I hate the most are those three buttons at the bottom, especially the home button, it's like a first grader came along and drew it in paint in 2 seconds… It actually infuriates me (I have no idea why it annoys me that much but it just does) - saying that Google's iOS apps in general are quite pretty, I like Google Maps, Google Now, YouTube and Gmail apps in terms of UI on iOS anyway (not keen on Chrome but then I hate it on the Mac too). Surely it can't be hard for Google to bring that prettiness to Android, but it's as if they want it to be a mess!

It annoys me as iOS has become stale, Android is messy, Windows Phone 8 is actually ok in terms of design(much better than Windows 8 which I hate) but it's not really usable as a smartphone due to it's lack of apps and annoying functionality (such as wifi turning off when the screen turns off). iOS is still the best IMO - and hopefully iOS7 will bring iOS to 2013 (or beyond)!

- I have always hated the gloss on app icons, I actually don't mind some skeuomorphism such as the black linen on app folders but the game centre makes me want to pull my eyes out. Don't like contacts or calendar on Mac or reminds on either.

Anyway I am going to stop writing before I write a book - in conclusion I look forward to tomorrow!
 
Gruber has a post up on WWDC expectations. He says:

Tim Cook, one year ago, to Walt Mossberg: “We’re going to double down on secrecy on products.”

12 months later, here we are, on the cusp of WWDC 2013, and nobody outside Apple seems to have any idea what Apple is set to show tomorrow. Cook’s words to Mossberg were anything but empty. The most secretive company in the industry got more secretive. We know Jony Ive has been leading the software design of iOS and OS X. We can be pretty sure they’re going to show us what they’ve been up to. But no one seems to know just what that is.

Yours truly included — and I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t been this in the dark about what Apple was set to announce in a keynote since the original iPhone introduction in January 2007. I’ve seen some speculation over the past few days that Vesper’s UI was informed by advanced knowledge of iOS 7. It was not. In fact, if anything, I expect Apple to zig where we (Q Branch) have zagged stylistically.

Patience, I'd say :) It seems very much a given that the next major version of Android will be getting a visual refresh in accordance with the design guidelines Google has been implementing in all it's apps lately.

He could have copy and pasted that from his pre 2012 WWDC article.

First couple lines.
"“We’re going to double down on secrecy on products.”
—Tim Cook, yesterday at the D10 conference"

Speaking of the 2012 D10 conference. He's a shill and pumps Apple when he's looking to pump the stock.

Last year's "We know nothing article from Gruber"

Take a look at Apples newly released App, WWDC. I Think the look of that icon, is a look into what we can expect.

So to summarize. You "hate" all mobile OS's.

You do realize your link was to a non stock Android phone screen. One of 1,000 that you can choose from if you are on Android.

Maybe you should stick with a flip phone. You may not be so upset with one.
 
Maybe they are introducing Dashboard to iOS 7. So, whenever you turn it on it will default to the dashboard. If you swipe to the right you can search, and if you swipe to the left you get the standard springboard pages with apps and folders.
