Apple revealed the new iOS7 software today at the WWDC conference in San Francisco, which changes the entire look of your iPod and iPhone.
The redesign “takes a bold step away from previous versions by abandoning the use of textured paper and wood effects for icons”.
It’s a pretty bold step forward. Notably, the tacky green felt in the Game Center and stitched leather in the Find My Friends apps is gone.
Logos are bigger and brighter, textures are flatter, and fonts are thinner.
Photos has been updated for full-screen use, there’s a Control Center that gives you quick access to screen brightness, taking a picture, and changing a song, and Safari has a really nice looking scrolling feature.
According to Craig Federighi, VP of Software Engineering, “installing iOS 7 is like getting a new phone, but one you can already use.”
What do you think of the new look? Will you be upgrading?
