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

Every time I glance at "Moscone" I read "Moscow" for a quick second and wonder, "Moscow???".

I see "Mascara" for some reason...

I sincerely hope that 7 is more than just some new icons and flatter UI.

I doubt they would bother releasing a new iOS version just to tweak the interface; even if it's not a huge update it's bound to have other refinements. Personally I'm hoping for a new widget type system, perhaps slotting in in place of rows of icon on your home-screen.

Ideally not quite in the same style as Android, where widgets can really hurt your battery life if you're not careful, but slick enough that any resource-saving is invisible to the user who just gets handy info as they need it.

OS X 10.9 banner is up too!

ohhhhh....D**MN.....

I think "world's most advanced operating system" tag line is reserved for OS X.

Nope.

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

It tries too hard to look like a banner.

Compare the first 7 pic and the 10.9
You'll have a blast

So does this slim 7 signal iOS went on a diet and 7 will be less bloated?

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.

I think the typeface can still change. They were probably able to use the new graphical elements but had to stick with the system core font and graphics for the notifications badge for instance.

You guys are getting excited over the number 7 in a thin font. No wonder Apple doesn't even try anymore, you guys will buy anything they throw at you.

It is almost like the Apple Battery Charger thread all over again.

It's the same font that is on the iphone 5 box

And OSX!!

OS X Massive Wave?

 

[HelveticaNeue]

The OSX banner looks amazing.

The grey dots could represent the new dock. the angle looks pretty much the same — in my eyes.

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

Oh no, not that discussion again.....

 

[monaarts]

So iOS7 is rainbows while OSX is ocean waves? lol

OS X 10.9 banner is up too!

Looks almost like a radio station ad:

"10.9 FM, all hits all the time!"

 

[Larry-K]

Definitely different than anything we've seen before from the graphics dept. Usually it is the number on an app icon-style logo.

Even the typography is intriguing. Very cool.

You're kidding, right?

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

Of what? A Roy Lichtenstein print?

OMG! Apple is FINALLY releasing the iTrash! They are about to hang the ad for it!
