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

[Frankied22]

A new paint job is cool and everything but I want to see iOS opened up. Let me make third party apps default.

 

[B...]

Today is almost over. Monday does not count because that's when the announcement will happen.

No. Look at the countdown on the homepage. 3 days minus half an hour. 1 PM EST Monday and it is 1:30 now. So tomorrow at 1 will be 2 days and Sunday is one day.

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.

****... That's a sexy billboard....

I hope thin means thinner iPhone/iPad/MBA/rMB"P", not "end of cMBP".

 

[Prototypical]

The 7 is cool, but the background is way too skeuomorphic.

Steve would never have approved this 7.

 

[Frankied22]

iOS 7, with 7 major features!

 

[verniesgarden]

By definition, Helvetica works perfectly almost everywhere. It's one of the most versatile fonts out there. Look around you, its everywhere!

yep... Helvetica was designed for sole purpose of being the "perfect font" and most versatile.

 

[arcite]

Slim font + shrewd use of white space = SEXY.

 

[thekeyring]

Sweet! Hope they do one for OS X 10.9 soon

Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days!


Oh, I forgot to mention: "Two more days!"

Don't you mean this

 

[Rogifan]

I noticed the banner doesn't have the "world's most advanced operating system" tag line. Unless this isn't the final banner?

 

[Goldfinger]

Woohoo System 7. I can't wait for Type 11 errors!

 

[MacFever]

will apple actually release the final version of iOS 7 to the public during WWDC?

Yep. I suspect that the dotted pattern is the new linen.

Also, it looks somewhat familiar...

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

9to5mac have a better quality snap of the banner.

 

[Simplicated]

Skipping? But the next iPhone *is* the SEVENTH iPhone. iPhone 7 makes sense.

Oh god here it goes again...

 

[MickeyAlexander]

Of note, Apple started using Myriad Pro Light for the iPhone 5. As a designer, I'm a big fan of Helvetica Neue UltraLight...I hope it makes its way into iOS!

 

[Bonfire]

Also look at the light (but present) background - a nod to the Mac Pro mesh?

 

[z3r0]

Anyone notice the perforated aluminum background?

aka Cheese grater

New Mac Pro on the perhaps?

 

[TouchMint.com]

I wonder when we will get getting these new controls in xcode. Hopefully they atleast release beta on WWDC day.

 

[Prototypical]

Yep. I suspect that the dotted pattern is the new linen.

Also, it looks somewhat familiar...

A mid-century modern spin on iOS makes me happy in strange and exciting ways.

 

[iDemiurge]

Now the cat! We want the cat!

The little grey dots remind me of hardware parts on the Mac Pro and generally gives it a hardware vibe. I think Jony Ive is doing a pretty good job on merging the software with his iconic Dieter Rams-inspired designs.

I personally wish for a typeface change to something slimmer than in that app. I like the one used both in the "WWDC" and "7" and think there's still hope for that.

 

[Mac21ND]

Wafer thin!
