The official version we'll see next week will be very different from what we see on WWDC. Apple released its new version of the iOS operating system in June-the biggest adjustment and improvement since its first release in 2007. This change has attracted a lot of criticism. Many designers have basked in their own "improved" IOS 7 on the Web site, and have written articles criticizing Apple's translucent design of fonts, icons and the effects of hair glass used on IOS 7.
After 3 months and 6 beta improvements, Apple is ready to release two new iphone handsets built into iOS 7, while also preparing to push iOS 4 to all iphone 2, IPad 7 and above. Although at first glance the version of iOS 7 in June has not changed much, Apple has been doing its best to adjust and optimize over the past three months. So, where's the change? How much progress is there in iOS 7 compared to WWDC?
Since June, IOS 7 has undergone many subtle changes.
When you put iOS 7 in iOS 6, the most obvious change is the system font. Currently, the iphone 3GS and earlier versions of the phone, Helvetica has been the default font for iOS operating system, and later the mobile phone system, the Helvetica Neue as a system font. To iOS 7, Apple uses a very slim font: Helvetica neue Ultra Light, which makes the fonts on the system difficult to read and makes reading difficult. After that, Apple listened carefully and analyzed the user's suggestions, turning the font back to Helvetica Neue Regular. Compared to earlier versions of the June, the improved font is clearer, dramatically improves the reading experience, and the entire system is more visible from the visual experience because of the larger font size used. Still, iOS 7 still has a gap compared to the clearly visible font features of iOS 6. As a result, Apple's first time in the system to provide a user can switch to the bold word of the settings option.
Apple has made a huge difference in font design
Why are fonts so important? Because fonts play a more important role in Apple's design language than ever before. Many of the system interface elements that originally had icons (such as the "answer" and "Reject" buttons in the caller interface) have now become plain fonts. This is even more apparent in the application, since the iphone system interface contains a large number of text-indicating buttons from the outset. Clicking on the button at the top of the system is usually the "go back" action, regardless of whether the button says "Inbox," "Settings," or other text. But in iOS 7, the button disappears, all the interface elements are flattened, and the "Back" button becomes the "less-than-followed text" design.
