Apple will announce their new Apple iOS 7 at their World Wide Developer Conference later this month. The existence of the OS has been confirmed by Apple’s Tim Cook.
The company’s Jony Ive is heading up the design team for Apple iOS 7, and the OS is expected to get a major new look and feel with a much flatter design. Now, we have a photo which is rumored to be of an early build of iOS 7.
Design Overhaul
It will be interesting to see what the new design on Apple iOS 7 is like. It has been described as simpler and flatter. This new design philosophy is expected to move away from the skeuomorphic elements that have characterized previous versions of iOS. Skeuomorphism involves design elements that mimic real-world materials and objects, such as the leather texture in the Calendar app or the wooden shelves in iBooks. By contrast, a flatter design will likely focus on clean lines, solid colors, and a more modern aesthetic.
The move towards a flatter design is not just about aesthetics; it also aims to improve user experience by making the interface more intuitive and easier to navigate. For example, buttons and icons may be redesigned to be more straightforward and less cluttered, making it easier for users to understand their functions at a glance.
New Features
We are also looking forward to seeing which new features will come with iOS 7 as well as the updated design. While we really have not heard very much about what new features will be launching in iOS 7, yesterday we heard that Apple may introduce AirDrop. AirDrop is a wireless file-sharing feature currently available on OS X, and its inclusion in iOS 7 would make it easier for users to share files between their Apple devices seamlessly.
Another rumored feature is the integration of more advanced Siri functionalities. Siri, Apple’s voice-activated assistant, has been a staple of iOS since its introduction. However, users have often criticized it for its limitations. With iOS 7, Apple may introduce more robust voice commands and better integration with third-party apps, making Siri more useful in everyday tasks.
Additionally, there are speculations about improved multitasking capabilities. Currently, iOS allows limited multitasking, but with iOS 7, Apple might introduce a more flexible system that allows users to run multiple apps simultaneously without sacrificing performance or battery life.
Security is another area where iOS 7 is expected to make significant strides. With increasing concerns about data privacy and security, Apple may introduce new features aimed at protecting user data. This could include more advanced encryption methods, better app permissions, and enhanced security settings.
It is also worth mentioning that Apple might focus on improving the overall performance and stability of the OS. Previous versions of iOS have sometimes been criticized for bugs and performance issues, and Apple will likely aim to address these concerns with iOS 7.
As soon as we get some more information on what Apple has planned for the next major version of iOS, we will let you guys know. The anticipation is building, and it will be fascinating to see how Apple plans to innovate and improve upon their already successful mobile operating system.
