iOS 7 is predicted to be launched on Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in a month, and more design concepts of iOS 7 will be announced as well. Apple's chief designer--Jonathan Ive will give up proposed "rounded" design and turn to "flat" design. Therefore, such a dramatic change will take place in the design of iOS 7.
The speculation has gained approval of a lot of media and insiders. To our delight, Philip Joyce, the Art Director of Simplyzesty.com, presents a concept blueprint for the flat iOS 7 and makes a demo video.
In the concept blueprint, sliding unlock is kept in iOS 7 system as before, but the length is made to be as short as possible so as to leave adequate room for containing icons of Siri, Camera, Map, etc. in the interface. As is shown in the picture, iOS 7 gives up rounded design and adopt flat design with brighter and vivid color giving users an exquisite and
individual look and feel.
There are dissenting voices viewing on the new design of iOS 7 from "Rounded" to "Flat". Gruber who studies on Apple's product thought the former icon of iOS had looked so deeply into the user' mind and they can hardly accept the new design.
What exactly does iOS 7 look like? Whether keep the old and classic design or take some breakthrough? Let's wait and see on the annual WWDC this year.
