According to the website, staying in line with previous rumours, the icons on the updated OS will certainly be flat. Rumours pointing to a flat yet familiar UI have surfaced time and again through various sources.
Adding to that, iOS 7 will also have five grey and white dots to represent the cellular signal instead of the usual bars. The font of the interface also seems to have changed with something thinner and similar to Helvetica Nueue Ultra Light. It is interesting to note that posters of the number '7' that were up for WWDC seem to have used a similar font, as well. Along with this, the site suggests that the bottom dock bar has been replaced by a single thin transparent line.
A look at the icons in the mock-up screen certainly shows revamped icons for quite a few apps. Going flat has hence also changed many of the familiar icons.
The familiar sunflower on the Photos icon is now replaced by a flower like colour wheel. Music with its orange back appears simply flattened. The compass icon for Safari is retained, but changed into a more circular icon. Mail stays almost the same but with the clouds gone and the flatness applied. The App Store also looks the same, just flatter and without the glow like effect in the back. The most significant change can be seen in the Game Center icon where the four game icons appears to have been replaced by four different coloured circles. In the graphical representation, iTunes is still pink and purple but like the App Store icon it has lost its glow like effect. The lens in the camera icon has also been replaced with a full camera in a gray gradient.
Previous rumours of iOS 7 bringing "black and white" themes might be true as well. According to the report, there happen to be two colour schemes for many of Apple's core apps. When in the "Black mode", the keyboard is black with gray letters, while in the "white mode" it has gray keys with white letters.
If we take a look at this mock up, the UI is certainly much more minimalistic. A major redesign for iOS has been on the cards for a while now. But whether the change will be this radical is something that we will have to wait and watch when Apple previews the OS later in the day.
