Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

The only thing that comes to my mind in this: "sum" of colors that compose the WWDC logo may be related to the rainbow-like colored "7" on the banner (7 colors of the rainbow, and polarization of light) and that rumor of Ive saying that "specific apps would have their own theme color"... The sum of them, would be the iOS 7.

Does this make any sense?
 
I think those who say he means that people will either love it or hate it misinterpret it. Smack a polarising filter on your lens and reflections in the picture will decrease. Considering (many of) the stock apps have a layer with an effect that would disappear with a polarising filter... Well... I think it's as simple as that.

No more fake reflections.

It does, actually :) The white breaks out in different apps.
 
Read the article, mang. It's not him "guessing". There's little birdies in Apple which sometimes tell him little things, and this is one of them.

Of course he can't verify it, because he only knows what the little birds tell him, but he's not pulling it out of his ass.

Note that he only mentioned that "all the leaks were wrong" in an offhand remark in a 1h 30m podcast, and he never wrote about it or otherwise mentioned it due to its lack of credibility and particulars.

You missed the snarky tone. ;)

But really, why is this worthy of attention on the front page of MR? All it says is "I know a secret but I'm not telling, neener neener neener!" At least the concept stories give us something to dissect and discuss.
 
Yes.

Clearly.

I had iphone 4 and 5, my bro has the 4s, my mom has the 3gs. So Iphone runs through my fam. So you can't say i'm not a user. I sold my 5 last week and bought a lumia. never going back till apple learns to innovate again. I refuse to be a part of the resurgent sheep herd!

what secret is Gruber not telling?

or am I missing your snarky tone again? :rolleyes:
 
Obviously Apple has hired trolls to 'leak' wrong information so we will be really surprised tomorrow when iOS 7 actually comes around.

:eek:
 
Polarizing? I know what it means, but can someone explain how it's used here?

People are going to either be extremely pleased or extremely cheesed*.

I hope to be one of the people pleased, but given how critical I am of everything (especially design wise) I have an excellent chance of hating it. Then again, I don't think Ive has ever made something I didn't like design wise... maybe someone here can jog my memory of a particularly ugly something he designed?

*I felt this statement would be more powerful if it rhymed.
 
You guys are all wrong.

System 7 is coming back and will be the new operating system for iPhone.

Guess what...




In 26 hours (yes, hours, not years, folks) we will know what is what. Can we all stop the guessing games now? :)

Means you either love it or hate it. On either extreme of the spectrum. So basically theres going to be some things that are going to be very different and people are going to be very angry about them or love them.

It means it's going to be RaDiCALY different from the past to the point it's going to piss off a lot of old time faithful who have grown comfortable with it and just want to see prettier and more feature bloat. It means it will stir up a lot of debate about where Apple is going similar to what happened with Final Cut Pro X, which was also a polarizing release.

[Hint: Steve Jobs already gave us that road map -- OS X will morph into iOS. This just might be the start... a tidal wave, erasing the past.]
