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

10.9 becomes 10.10

There will likely be an 11 at some point, but it doesn't have to be the next one.

Um, no. 10.10, 10.100, 10.1000, etc.. are all equivalent to 10.1. This is simple high-school math (significant figures). Apple already had OS X 10.1 (Puma). They may begin counting 10.9.x for major revisions and 10.9.0.x for patches and minor updates if they don't want to let go of the OS X brand.

Hmm...seems like the iHaters are the ones most obsessed over all this.

I own an iPhone and an iPad. Just not blinded by my love for them to get excited over a font. Contrary to what you may think, there are sensible Apple owners around too. :)

And yet the "non minions" talk about it incessantly. Apple has trained you well too

I see you recognized yourself in my post ;)

You understand that version number decimals are not mathematically decimals right? Doesn't seem that you do. They are just delimiters between numbers. When is the last time you saw 2 decimals in number?

Major OS X revisions do, and have always, followed the decimal system 10.1 Puma, 10.2 Jaguar,... ..10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion,. etc.. and are mathematical numbers. Only the minor patches and bugfix versions sat after the second period (e.g. 10.8.x.) Having 10.10.0 follow 10.9.x will break the sequence and defy all logic.

The number after the decimal point is a version number. "10" states that it's OS X. The next number signifies the major release of OS X. The third number is a minor revision. So 10.8 signifies the 9th revision of OS X since they used a zero-based index.

This has nothing to do with actual numbers.

damnn.. thats a good looking 7 . its the best 7 i have ever seen!
Click to expand...

lol....

There must be something wrong here...... Its a number "7" for christ sake.. (on a white background, with a different font)..

Its like one of those people who pick up an ordinary camera phone, but spending 30 minutes talking about how great the flash is.

Impressive, never the less, but i would have felt happier if this banner had a graphic showing too like the OS X one.

Software version numbers are not decimals. (Did you learn about "numbers" like 10.8.3 in high school? Of course not.) Apple has some history here: there was an OS X 10.4.1 and an OS X 10.4.10. They are not the same. They are two and a half years and nine updates apart, as you would expect. (There was also an OS X 10.4.11.)

Of course, it's largely a matter of convention. Some software does appear to treat its version number like a decimal. Some others don't give us enough of a clue to tell. Apple has, at least with the third component--who knows about the second, but if they don't do something else entirely (and they might because this is confusing for some people), I don't see why it wouldn't be this.

What if those colors in number seven are just colors schemes for each main application in iOS
Like green for Phone/imessage, blue for Safari/mail, purple for iTunes?, red for Calendar app?

OR

colors variants for cheap iPhone??

Maybe somebody already told that in this thread, then I'm sorry to repeat.

It is exactly as I suspected. The WWDC app is probably the glaring sign of what 7 will look like. Everyone launch the WWDC iPad app you know you have and look at the day separator a in the events calendar. Little grey dots, matching the banner's dots. Could just be a WWDC branding pattern, but compelling nonetheless.

I checked the WWDC app, then when you touch on "Filter" you get the same colours which match the appropriate legend in the App - Grey (Special Events) / Blue (Frameworks) / Green (Services) / Yellow (Graphics and Games) / Orange (Tools) / Purple (Media) / Turquoise (Core OS). So, based on this alone, the colours will be identifiers which matches up with the WWDC logo as well.

So looks like Apple is getting rid of the Battleship grey buttons and using colours as legends for various functions and settings, etc - good to see. Its easier to distinguish with colours than words (unless of course you are colour blind).
 
I like the look of this new Font, and I agree its been way too long between major OS changes. As for people discussion version numbers, its been known for many years that 6.0 is major release, 6.0.3 is a minor update, 6.3.0 would be a more major update but not as many changes as going to version 7. Whenever the first number of the version changes to the next, this is classed as a major software change, usually including numerous bugs, features, and UI changes, or even a re-write in some situations.

As for the font love it, however bear in mind any people over a certain age who have reading difficulties amy find the thinner font makes it harder to read certain aspects on the phone, including icon names, application names etc. This font looks a lot more stylised and also makes it easy to associate iOS 6 and iOS 7 purely just with the blink of an eye. As for the colours I mentioned in my previous post, these line up withe the colours of the WWDC logo.

Its possible the new icons will be translucent (not transparent) which makes them easier to identify due to the bright colours, and maybe even see other icons inside any folders as well (reminds me of the 3M coloured post-its). I suspect colours will be the main identifier - colour coded I suppose you could say. Skuemorphism will be dumped, as this makes the OS less modern over all, and is now post-Forstall. Applications and settings should now have a contiguous colour system, as currently even the colours and button layouts of even settings etc are all randomly placed.

Also bear in mind, the iPhone will probably get this iOS 7 first, and this will funnel down to iPod, iPad, iPad Mini, etc.

Also, less than 3 days before we see more than just the number 7. In fact, I'm fairly sure that's the number I've seen the most over the last few weeks...

Hilarious that the number of ups is staying at 7 in contrast to the others.

There's an AyeCon wallpaper quite similar to the background of the iOS 7 banner. I personally think the new textureless icons would look great against that background.
