I do hope Apple uses Avenir, it's the most beautiful font I've ever seen.

Actually, I have it as my default font with BytaFont and iOS looks totally different and beautiful.

I prefer Avenir too. This is one of the most beautiful fonts that i have see.
I hope that Apple use this concept.

Thanks for all the comments.

Heres some updated versions based on what some of you have said:

I've made the font less heavy & made the gradients on the ON/OFF toggles less steep.



And heres a version using Helvetica Neue (I still prefer Avenir):

Avenir is nicer but I see you used it as a thicker font, maybe go for the 'medium oblique' version or something ;) Love the concept by the way! Flat nad apple ish. Only thing I might perhaps do is give those icons different colours such as DND being purple, notifications being green to make differentiation a little easier

Nice job, OP. I think you're on the right track based on the rumors we've heard thus far.

I agree with some of the other posters that have said that Settings will have more utility (expose Bluetooth and Wifi toggles at the top level like Airplane mode, etc).

For messages, you're missing some of the common elements that exist today I think are helpful:

  • Date and time indicators for the beginning of exchanges
  • Delivered/Read indicators on latest message sent
  • Timestamp on latest message sent

I also wonder if they are interested in adding avatars like Messages on Mac or if they feel it is unnecessary or consumes too much space? Maybe they could add the avatar to the left of the person's name you're texting? These kinds of visual queues are helpful so that you don't message the wrong person, etc.

Music app:

With the album open:

Key points:
• iTunes 11 style
• The Now playing button colour changes to the playing songs album art colour.
• New tab bar that gets rid of the visual clutter (this would be used in all apps, not just music). You can swipe left to access the other tabs. You can also tap and hold to change the order of them.

I actually like these mockups a lot. Just wondering what you think the music player would like when the song is playing and you have the play/pause, fast forward, etc. Hopefully Apple is going this route.

You stole my idea! But hey I'll let you off as you made it look great ;)

First off, it looks fantastic! Though I'm interested to see how this would work in landscape, considering how Apple have abandoned Cover Flow for iTunes 11.

But great work! I would be more than happy if this was iOS 7. I really am hoping you're an Apple employee undercover…

I could really get used to an iPhone that looked like this, I would even settle for close. This is a beautiful representation of what a "flat" design should look like, and I really think that Apple will have something that rivals this in the way it looks and feels.

Great job putting this together. Is it June 10th yet? :apple:
