If you have watched Apple's WWDC 2013 meeting in Monday, you'll find that the iOS 7 that it launches looks like a big visual difference from the original iOS system. The new design looks younger than iOS 6.
The new version of iOS has changed so much that it's hard to believe it was designed by the original design team. And such suspicions are also based on facts. This week we've been working on a new design for iOS, and several sources have confirmed our thinking.
First, many of the new iOS icons are not designed by the design team, but by the marketing and communications departments. Jony Ive, senior vice president of Apple's design department, organized the print and network marketing design team, and they devised the appearance and color range of the stock program, sources said. After this, he gave the design to the application design team, and let the team based on the color range of "internal processing."
There is also news that there is a lack of good communication between the different groups within Apple, such as the mail team and the Safari design team. There is competition between these teams, which makes some icons produce the same design style. But in the future, these problems may be resolved.
Apple is doing this to get rid of the past design language and to find a new style of design. So ive injected these "fresh blood" into the design team.
Also, it's possible that the iOS 7 design we're looking at now is just a "transition product," and Apple is still working on the design of the system UI, and they will gradually refine the design of the new system.
The first thing to notice in the new iOS 7 design is its icon design. After the launch, people have been around it for a variety of discussions. Although we don't know what it will look like after it's finally perfected, we hope Apple will be able to solve the problem of inconsistent color gradients and design styles.
I think there will be a lot of changes in IOS 7 before the formal user-open download. Past experience may be able to support my views. During the period between the release of iOS 6 Beta 1 and the release of the final version of iOS 6, Apple made 15% functional and design improvements to iOS 6. For iOS 7, I think Apple will make landfilled improvements.
