nope, actually they will look better and flatter without that gloss. gloss or no gloss, they should roll out a fantastic new design in iOS7.
Got a tip for us?

It's Game Over for iPhone, If iOS 7...

Unfortunately it is fact in our world that people do follow others because it is the fashion.
iOS 7 will be awesome either way. It will continue to be the best operating system on the market. For me, the look is important, but its the functionality that really matters. I love when things change and look new and fresh, so I am excited for a UI change either way.
Steve Jobs was a huge part of the Apple equation, but that is not to say that the company can not be revolutionary and game changing today. He was not the ONLY one who knew what he was doing there, and to be honest, I think iOS 7 probably still has some influence from Steve. These things don't just happen over night.

yeah, i love that gloss, that gloss is like a distinguishing feature of iOS, apple should not remove that gloss in iOS7.
Yeah, the glossy dock is exactly the reason I believe I'm holding a premium phone in my hand.
Please. Apple could get rid of it tomorrow and most users will update to iOS 7 in a heartbeat. It is not game over, Apple isn't doomed, and they still haven't found Jimmy Hoffa.
This is why I no longer have one. The iPhone's excellent build/features have caused it to become incredibly common. My Mum and Dad have them, as do my grandparents.
Unfortunately, rival phones are just as good (better in some areas, worse in others) and there are many to choose from.
all i need is a better design and great performance. i don't care if that gloss is removed. it's a better design what iOS needs.
Daring Fireball had a really interesting take on the tinkering of the IOS UI. When the iPhone first came out touch was still a relatively new technology to the average consumer and the Iphone Mac OS as it was called before was good to lead people into the future Jobs envisioned. Right now touch is ubiquitous so there is no need anymore. IOS is the springboard and grid but there are ways of tinkering this UI without making it even more complex that will add greater utility. There has to be a balance between form and function. Metro is very busy making it far on the dynamic side of the utility scale, Android is a hodge podge, and ios is relatively static. What Ive has been assigned to do is how to make iOS more dynamic without losing the simplicity. If that can be pulled off successfully then we might be seeing a very subtle but drastic paradigm shift. Honestly if any company can do it it's apple.
As will the move to android.
It's gotten to the point where smartphones are becoming so yesterday.
If they follow current trend both will preview at WWDC with Mac OS releasing July/August and iOS later in Sept/Oct

Some people really can't handle the fact that after 6 years Apple isn't doing what thy think Apple should, whether look, features etc

Yeah it's fun and nifty looking but overall it is pointless and inconsistent with how other apps handle deleting. Plus who knows how much time was spent on that nifty trick rather than debugging or how much code bloat comes from someone that only serves to look fun.
Ah, the urban legend. It still lives. I know it is difficult to believe this but iOS has the BIGGEST library of games, apps, movies, and music available for it. It is easy to use, and looks cool.
Yeah, people buy it because their friends have one.
