Minimalist iOS 7 Banner Goes Up at Moscone West for WWDC 2013

[FlatlinerG]

This years WWDC has been brought to you by the number 7..and the letter X.

I'm going to miss the yellow notes app.

 

[inscrewtable]

Looks like a ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch.

I'm going to miss the yellow notes app.

Me too... as much as I hate skeomorphism, I am going to miss the yellow notes.

I like Apple stuff. I think it works well. BUT...

Definition of an Apple fanboy is anyone who seriously is discussing fonts of the 7 and the X.

Take a step back and realize the special place you are compared to the rest of the world.

Just let ppl have fun and spend their hard earned money.
A lot of people waste time talking about politicians, in comparison talking about a font is talking about nuclear fusion.

And then we've got the people who waste their time telling people they're wasting their time. Somehow in your special place this is effective.

Yeah I'm missing it too. Flipping it I see 6.01? Sorry, I'm blond.

It's a flip of the 7 banner with 10.9 faked on it.

Both banner backgrounds make me think towards (mac)Pro and power(user). And not only facelifting but more or less a wave of usefull things for productivity to catch up. Tim hinted this at D11 when he said that most contribution would be in the creation space, not in the consumpion space.

Or maybe they are just pretty images.

Here's some previous years WWDC banners. Apple is certainly being minimalist and cryptic this year.

I love the banners Apple put up outside the building. Plenty of color. And tastefully done, not like previous years where color basically consisted of a miss mash of app icons thrown together on a banner.

That texture looks like it could be the new default wallpaper, or background for folders/NC.

 

[kaielement]

Can't wait for iOS 7 so excited to what the interface looks like.

 

[iSamurai]

IIRC Google also uses this font in Gmail and Maps Gonna look sweet.

Edit: not Google Now

 

[Xiroteus]

Apple does hype things, which is not a negative comment, they are a business and for the most part they do it well.

 

[abuilder]

The background looks to me to be a speaker.

 

[sjinsjca]

The sevenfari seems snappier.

 

[b166er]

I am very disappointed in all you conspiracy theorists. No wild accusations, no arguing over what the design of the banner could mean. Clearly you've all lost sight of what MacRumors is all about.

 

[crushvic]

i hope the "7" does not mean 7 row of icons.
excited

 

[CharlesX]

Call me when they get to 7.5.5.

 

[iMLo]

Call me when they get to 7.5.5.

I will if you promise to leave now.

 

[AidenShaw]

That 7 looks amazing. Very excited to see the new i0s 7

The best sarcasm is the most subtle...

Congrats!

 

[AdeFowler]

Somehow, as with most Apple releases, my intuition tells me we will be surprisingly underwhelmed.

That's about the only thing we can be certain of.

 

[petsounds]

I love the 7 and the icons. Definitely a hint to Ive's design direction. Very tasteful, very classy. A very welcome departure from Forstall's hamfisted art direction.

 

[ThisIsNotMe]

have you guys ever noticed that the seven has the same colour pattern as the apple logo that was put up at the key note they have in october a few months years ago before steve passed? correct me if im wrong but i think it was his last keynote before resigning off the team.

Steve Jobs hologram!!!!!!

 

[maccompatible]

Ok. Ill bite. I wish apple would stop with the itoys and make a professional machine

The iPhone is hardly a toy.

 

[CharlesX]

I will if you promise to leave now.

Whoa, not a fan? 7.5.3 then >_>

 

[Technarchy]

Very cryptic of Apple.

Would be a shame if the highlight of iOS7 is a palette swap.
