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 will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
