WWDC 2013 Is Near – New Rumors About iOS 7

Annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2013 Conference will start on June 10 and close to the event in which Apple will introduce the next iOS 7 version, there are coming out more and more rumors about important updates.

After Scott Forstall left the leader position of the entire software division, managing tasks of software design were taken by Jonathan Ive, who had led until then only the hardware design department. According to internal sources, one of the first decisions taken by Ive was the switching from the iOS design supported by Forstall and Steve Jobs to a modern streamlined design.

According to 9to5Mac, the presentation on June 10 will reveal an iOS with a new look, which gave up on the characteristic design for color and design uniformity. According to internal sources cited, iOS 7 will provide a flat design that will use predominantly white and black colors and will let go of colored textures or chromed elements.

The changes will affect both the operating system interface and that of preinstalled applications. As well as simplifying the interface, which will affect the yellow texture of the Notes application, the green background of Game Center or the wooden texture from Newsstand, they will get new animations, a mentioned case being the whether application. Another particular element would be to use a predominant color for each application, allowing for quick visual identification.

iOS 7 could bring native integration with Vimeo and Flickr services, which will add Twitter and Facebook trends and Notification Center along with Lock Screen will receive a design and functions.

It is almost certain that Apple will unveil the new version of the iOS 7 platform in the WWDC 2013, but the release date is still uncertain. According to rumors a few months ago, iOS 7 development is already late, possibly requiring relocation of OS X software developers in the iOS department. Traditionally, each major update of the iOS operating system occurred with the launch of a new mobile phone, iPhone 5S is expected somewhere this summer or early autumn.
