We?ve known for a while that Apple design guru Jony Ive would be bringing his own distinctive stamp to iOS 7 and now we?re getting some more details about what that stamp might look like. One of 9to5Mac?s sources describes the new version of iOS as ?black, white and flat all over,? meaning that there will be fewer heavy textures and more interface elements that come in plain black and white.

What sort of specific changes does this entail, then? According to 9to5Mac, one obvious change will be to the iPhone?s unlock screen, which ?will drop the shiny, transparent time bar on the top of the Lock screen in exchange for a shine-free, black interface.? 9to5Mac also says that Ive has ?inspired the iOS design team to replace many of the linen and leather textures found in iOS? with flat white and black coloring,? so it seems that textures on major iOS apps will be significantly simplified and will have less gloss.

One key piece of iOS will remain largely unchanged, however: The home screen. 9to5Mac?s sources indicate that the only major change to the home screen will be that app icons will ?lose shine, shadows and gloss? but will still be ?round and just as tappable.?

Given that Ive has made his name employing simple, minimalist designs for Apple?s hardware, it?s not surprising that he wants to bring a similar type of aesthetic to Apple?s software. On the other hand, as 9to5Mac notes, the current design of iOS has been wildly successful and Ive could have a challenge on his hands in getting some users to accept some of the changes he?s made to an operating system that has mostly looked the same since its outset.

I'm talking about the UI graphics not all parts of the phone, everyone wanted to copy apple, now its like apple is looking at google and MS and saying oh flat ah ha!

Just like when Apple/iOS was number one and everyone wanted to copy them to get market share, now Apple looks at Android which is number one and copy them.

This is the problem with Apple, instead of keep being innovative over the years they just made relatively small changes compared to Google for example. Now they are paying for it by loosing market share.

Apple have been steadily draining the colour out of OS X. I knew it was only a matter of time before it went back to the old monochrome days. Guess iOS has beaten it to it. Unless they have something for 10.9...

OS XI will introduce a whole new memory saving feature, called 1bit video, you can store over 30x more data into 1bit video then you can in 32bit video

It will revolutionize the industry... and with retina displays, that dithering will look just like gray to your eye

I'm really curious to see this revamp... Not sure why, as I don't use an iPhone, but I'm just really curious to see what they come up with...

Same here, not using an iPhone but i do want to see what will happen. The reason being is that i believe that if iPhone 5S/6 + iOS 7 wont be something truly different and amazing it will for sure be the beginning of the end of the iPhone. Android is taking most of the market share this year anyway and with that Apple will loss big.

1) I'm not feeling the black and white

2) By the time iOS 7 goes flat, and MS gets Modern UI fixed, flat will no longer be cool. :/ Then what?

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
