iOS 7 picture

Could this picture be the first image of the flat design Jony Ive is reportedly bringing to iOS7?

According to iDownloadBlog, the picture shows the home page of an iPhone running an alpha version of the new operating system. The authenticity of the image can not be verified.

It admits it is from a very old version and things may have changed.


If the image does turn out to be authentic, then it is evidence that the rumours Jony Ive is seeking to remove all signs of skeuomorphism and gloss in favour of a 'flat design' are true.

According to the blog, "When you look at the current state of stock apps icons, it seems that all of them were designed by different teams.

"Most of them have a different look. They don’t have unified features that tie them all up together. Some of them have a gloss effect. Some of them don't. Some of them have borders. Some of them don't, etc…

"From what we’ve seen, we believe Jony Ive's touch on iOS 7 will homogenize the look of Apple’s stock apps icons."

iOS 7 will be officially unveiled next week at WWDC
