WSJ Confirms New iOS 7 Design, 'iRadio' Introduction at WWDC

Looks crap.

Jony Ive has an idea about proportion so I don't think he'd do this to the icons, looks very unappealing to the eye. I'm not saying he can design UI as well as hardware (I'm an industrial designer myself and know they're different skills) but he still understands the basics... I hope.

Indeed. If one thinks this is what Apple does, he doesn't know Apple at all. I think it will be a very subtle chan.ge or something very drastic, but in a good way.

These screenshots doesn't have anything you can't change with a jailbreak.

Wow. Can't wait to watch iRadio fail just like Ping failed. Why does Apple insist on introducing software that nobody wants (we already have Pandora & Spotify & I Heart Radio & Slacker & a million other superior radio services), yet Apple insists on basically abandoning software that people actually wish they could use (Final Cut Pro, iWeb, iDVD, iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Apple Remote, Maps, Podcasts, Stocks, Siri, shall I go on?). Apple is so absolutely MESSED UP when it comes to software and services. I suppose this is what happens when your company only has hardware in its DNA. Apple makes great hardware, but their software decisions are simply the worst.

Apple is looking for people to work on iWork.
I use Fnal Cut Pro X rand it's often updated.
Mail, Contacts and Calendars were updated in iOS 6 and Mountain Lion.
Maps launched a year ago and I'll likely be updated in iOS 7.
Siri... You think they've abandoned Siri?

people outside the US will have to wait at least a year for iRadio!

Blame the entertainment industry and their ridiculous licensing rules. I live outside the US and Pandora, Spotify and Hulu are blocked, as well as many of the network websites (ABC.com, etc.). Often YouTube videos are blocked as well.

I'm convinced that the people asking for a new look to iOS are primarily 14 year-old Android users with too much time on their hands and a handful of lemming tech bloggers, also with too much time on their hands.

The echo chamber of the Internet not only brought us the 2012 Fake Word of the Year "skeumorphic", but also makes this fringe group of teenage idiots and dateless wonders appear to be a much larger contingency than they actually are. Regular people, like adults with jobs, don't have a problem with the look of iOS.

I agree. Except GameCenter. What happened there? Ugly as sin.

I'm an adult.

I have a job.

I think iOS is light years behind other Mobile operating systems.

You speak for yourself only and not very well.

Please tell me in what way iOS is light years behind other mobile operating systems - which I guess you mean Android and Windows Phone. Because, from where I sit, Android has just caught up to iOS in terms of stability and speed, and Windows phone just got cut and paste. So please, please, please, tell me.

Don't make jokes about an adult. He has a job too.
 
OK I'll be honest. I'm worried iOS 7 is going to be too flat. I like my colorful icons almost popping out of the screen. To me it's part of the device's beauty. :(

He does understand.

No sign of a Mac Pro in these reports. :(

I'm hoping that nostalgia will make Tim Cook end with a 'one more thing' that at least gives us an update to the Mac Pro's development.

I would love to see a short bio on the Power Mac / Mac Pro followed by, at the very least, a note to say watch this space.

No mention at all is just lunacy by this point in time, too many people waiting for something, anything to grasp hold of and never let go... especially those of us in Europe who have very little way of actually buying a new Mac Pro band new these days!
 
a whole new world developing means they're probably going to release the cheaper iphones for developing countries and it's gonna come in different colors and transparent ala old macs. all those banners overlap each other in different colors.

tagline doesn't lie.. haha :apple:
 
The WSJ and NYT really have nothing. Their breaking news consists of what Tim Cook already said and group conventional wisdom.

The secrecy this year has been amazing. It's only seven hours before the keynote. Usually we have photos of new MacBook Pro boxes and detailed specs of new hardware by now.

Am more interested in the colors used for the number 7

cos that got to mean something :confused:

The colors probably represent what we will be seeing in the new os. Each color will be for a certain app. It'll become second nature to associate a color to a app. Kind of like pool balls. You see the color yellow and you think 1 ball.
