At Apple's annual developer conference in San Francisco on Monday, the company unveiled a revamped look for its iOS software, earning a standing ovation -- and one "I love you" -- from the several thousand developers in attendance.
The latest version of Apple's iOS software, which powers its iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices, marks a move away from Apple's trademark skeumorphic design, which relies on digital illustrations of real-world objects, and toward a "flat" design aesthetic that's recently become en vogue among tech companies.
"It's like getting an entirely new phone, but one you know how to use," said Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi. Apple CEO Tim Cook dubbed it the "biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone."
Apple's iOS 7 boasts a brighter color scheme; simplified icons; a "cleaner" design for some of Apple's tools, such as iMessage and Calendar; and several new ways of controlling the device. For example, users can swipe from the left edge of the screen to navigate back to a previous page, rather than tapping a back button, or control basic phone settings from the phone's Control Center. The phone's screen will also tilt in the direction it's being held, allowing users a glimpse behind the icons.
