iOS 7: 'All the Leaks Are Wrong'

However iOS turns out, you can be sure of these things:
1/ It'll keep the Google UX team busy.
2/ For whatever reason, some Phandroids will *willingly* cause a scene, and tell us how "we had that before you" and then waffle on about removable batteries, non-standard USB cables, screen size, and then another 20 "points" for good measure.
The more Phandroids "hate" it, the more you'll know they LOVE it but are jealous (which is a bit silly, as anyone can buy an iPhone
)

iOS is based on OS X.
Oh dear god read for goodness sake. I acknowledged that. "instead of 2 with the same core".
I immediately thought of a polarizing filter used in photography, which is used for cutting down reflections.

Give up - it's irrelevant - there's better things to talk about
I find the word "polarizing" a bit ominous. That implies it is going to be a "love it or hate it" update.
I guess that gives me a 50/50 chance...

I would be pretty shocked if it had something not available on Android. It would have to literally be something the world has never seen before ... like, at all. The amount of layouts and visual styles on Android is endless.
Would be funny if it was barely any different to iOS 6. Imagine the rage on here.
Just...
Please, no...
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.
No, it seems what he's saying is he usually know stuff but this time he's basically in the dark.
Closer to the former than the latter seems correct to me. They don't want total culture shock from the non geeks if they change everything.
So I see basically minor changes visually.
With internal tweaks. Like say the 'folders' lose all limits or at least say double/triple what they can hold. More multitouch gestures like perhaps a five finger twist to control volume. Use if you like or don't. Plus perhaps palm rest at the iOS level. Things like that.
We have confirmation that Warner & Universal signed the iRadio deal, and that Sony was the hold out. Earlier this week, Sony signed with Apple.
It is pretty safe to say that this is NOT just made up.
How does he know "all the leaks are wrong" if doesn't know or seen anything?
He's been told by his sources in Apple. Usually, they're right on these types of things. If you're going to trust any rumour, trust this one.
I love that we barely know anything about this keynote, it makes me so much more excited!
I think it is a tad vital not just to protect their IP but also because let's face it Tim Cook is not the showman that Steve was. It's not a flaw just different personality types. But if they want the media to focus on product they need to wow them and not be like last year where everyone is bored cause there were crazy leaks about everything so it was basically just a generally unneeded confirmation that all the leaks were correct.
With no real leaks to just yay or nay the media will have to be listening to the product details and will have less time to take jabs at how Tim ain't no Steve etc

So is this trusted source saying then that the 9to5Mac rumors are inaccurate? That's the closest thing we've gotten to leaks.

Easy. When you dont know anything, but you know someone very well who knows that all leaks are wrong, and that person happens to know very well whats going on at Apple
