Filip Novotny This week we brought you message, that iOS 7 is coming with big design changes. Everything indicates that a large-scale departure from so-called skeuomorphic elements is about to take place. American Bloomberg today he came up with the claim that iOS 7 will have even bigger changes than first expected. Apple is reportedly working on "dramatic changes" to the Mail and Calendar apps.
At the same time, we do not associate these two applications (especially on the iPhone) with a skeuomorphic design, so no big changes were expected in their case. A radical intervention was more likely to be expected for applications such as Notes or Game Center, which visually borrow widely from real objects – see a yellow notepad or a felt gaming screen.
Still, Mail and Calendar should be unrecognizable in the new operating system. According to Bloomberg, they are expected to move towards a "flat" user interface. All realistic images and references to real objects should disappear.
In addition, Jony Ive is testing new ways in which users could control applications. He met several times with experts on gestures that could appear more widely in the new iOS. According to The Verge Ive is currently very interested in how people control their computers and other electronic devices.
Given these demands of its chief designer, Apple is currently in a bit of a hurry. At the WWDC conference, which will be held already in June, iOS 7 and the new OS X are expected to be presented. In order for Apple to do everything on time, its employees are working really hard. Considering the growing competition, the main priority is the mobile system, so the Californian company reached for changes in its development teams. A number of employees who normally work on desktop OS X are temporarily working on iOS 7.
Despite these changes, Apple may not be able to finish work on the Mail and Calendar apps in time. However, this should not mean that the full release of iOS 7 will be delayed; the pair of apps would simply be released a few weeks later than the rest of the system. At this point, therefore, we have no reason not to look forward to this year's WWDC as much as the previous ones.

I honestly hope so :)
I don't hope so... maybe it will be different, otherwise flat... shaded... different. Otherwise, there will be a wave of resentment. A lot of people are with Apple precisely for the leather, fabric, wood...Jobs really wasn't stupid. I understand that people who have been with Apple for years want change. So let them give two styles :)
I'm really looking forward to the changes in email. I would like it to be global even in "X".
Lol, it's fast, Android has a calendar and emails for a long time, but Apple doesn't care, especially since it's from Apple
You might want to read the article properly, iOS has a calendar and mail since the first version.
typical Iowan mentality
Unfortunately, I do not understand your intellectual outpouring.
:D :D :D He's a joker, he probably really thinks that Apple hasn't had it yet... Oh my gosh :D
A kid nicknamed Android? Good comment, good bro :D :D Just for info: iOS has a better calendar and mail than your Android ;)
You are a very dumb android
the only thing Android has that differs from iOS since the first version is malware
:D :D :D I'm dying laughing
these skeuomorphisms just annoy everyone
How who…
Another expert :-D
Well, the mail and the calendar could be left as they are, they suit me perfectly. I would rather edit notes and contacts.
They could really do something with email. I find the calendar suitable…
I'm afraid that I'm making it look like Windows 8. It's so disgusting that one would vomit.. and a lot of developers of different software have caught on to it and are riding the same wave.. we at Apple really like how it's all directed at real objects as it is written here.. as for the changes, I'm in favor but definitely not for it to turn out like in Windows 8.. the graphic artist was probably 12 years old there.. he got a lollipop and $10 for it and he gave square, huge icons in 8 colors..especially since Apple is not going in the same direction..
Personally, I have a completely different opinion w8 are beautiful….you could almost say they are sexy. I have both an Ip and a Lumia and I know what I'm talking about, of course I take it that it's all about habit and preferences, but try to try w8 for a longer period of time and you might change your mind and want a change, because SW is currently Apple's problem, at least that's how I feel and see it :)
I wouldn't say beautiful, but original and maybe sexy, yes, but I also liked the look of Apple, that's why I always looked at it to make sure it wasn't flattering. Worse is that the sexy W8 system is already more confusing to control and no one knows where the title is and where it can be clicked, etc...
Sorry... he doesn't know
I also have an ip5 and a lumii, and I could have an iphone with windows tiles, I'll be the first to want it right away. It's beautiful and especially functional! Notifications in tiles and on the locked surface are much better than the red blob with a number next to the icon.
The appearance is still being solved, but the functionality is still being sidelined. Has anyone tried to send an attachment of one email to the addresses of another email!!! A basic thing that iOS can't do!!! Addresses and attachments cannot be copied.
It works for me. So he can probably do it.
So the error will probably be somewhere else. Guess where. Would you? Bingo!
As can be seen from the article, they are definitely not only concerned with design. You can not read?
those who have a list and similar stupid mail clients, there will always be a problem with that, just as I wanted to send a photo with an attachment to the mail list and then to the center, nothing worked, but to my secondary gmail and ymail it went without a problem...
I'm looking forward to it. I just hope it will all work on my 4S too…
I welcome the rethinking of controllability and the change. Graphical appearance not so much. We'll see
I don't understand why there is a need to radically change the iOS calendar. A possible iPad version may not have a ragged paper design, but nothing fundamental needs to be changed. Email can still add a bit of functionality, but there is no need to change it.
The file needs an address book, which looks like a book on the iPad, it looks like that, but it cannot be used like that. Which is a typical indication of non-functional skeuomorphism.
On the other hand, I believe that Ive doesn't go for things hrrr, just look at his expression. He thought about things for a long time, so it doesn't seem to me that he would sacrifice UX like they did in WP, where they first gave UI and then asked if it could be used.
iOS has a lot to catch up on, especially in camera settings. all the manual functions of setting iso, white balance, focus, etc. are missing. Windows and Android have been able to do this for a long time. email and calendar seem fine to me.
That phone takes great pictures, and if you need to control ISO, WB, focus points, etc. when taking pictures, you should already think about buying a device for that purpose. And even android won't change anything, because the output will be +, - the same. And just now the lumia takes photos tragically compared to the ip5 and no other settings will help it.
And doesn't it happen to solve the applications that can be downloaded? Maybe even free ones like ProCam?
I would just like to ask if IOS 7 will also be available on Iphon 3GS and Ipod third generation. Because I have the impression that IOS6 was no longer compatible with third-generation iPods...or am I mistaken?
Thank you for answer ;)
Hmm interesting, do you think it will work on the iPod Touch 4G?
