IOS 7 ILOCKER UPDATE

The designs of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks (OS X 10.9) noticeably depart from skeuomorphic elements such as the green felt in Game Center, wood in Newsstand, and leather in Calendar for flatter designs.

In a promotional video shown during the keynote, Ive described the update as 'bringing order to complexity', highlighting features such as refined typography, new icons, translucency, layering and gyroscope-driven parallaxing as some of the major changes to the design. Billed as the 'biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone', the most notable change is a complete overhaul of the user interface.

IOS 7 was unveiled during the opening keynote of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10, 2013. iOS 7 Beta 2 was just released June 24, 2013. Almost immediately after Ive's appointment, speculation started that Ive would seek to remove skeuomorphic elements within the operating system for example, on October 31, Mark Hattersley, a writer for Macworld, wrote a column for Digital Arts speculating that Ive's opposition to skeuomorphism would affect his design policy within iOS. In September 2012, Fast Company published a feature on the skeuomorphism controversy within Apple, citing designer complaints over the faux-leather in iCal-designed to imitate seating in Jobs' personal airliner-and Jobs' support of casino-like elements within Game Center in iOS 4.1.

Ive is considered to be a proponent of flat design compared to Forstall and former CEO Steve Jobs, who supported skeuomorphic design. Forstall's departure was attributed to his refusal to sign a letter admitting to responsibility for errors in the Maps service.

Consequently, on October 29, Scott Forstall was dismissed as Senior Vice President (SVP) of iOS and his responsibilities divided among Jonathan Ive, who became the company-wide SVP for Human Interface, Craig Federighi, whose role as SVP for Mac Software Engineering was expanded to include iOS, Eddy Cue, who gained leadership for Maps and Siri under his duties as SVP for Internet Software and Services and Bob Mansfield, who returned from his recent retirement to become SVP for Technologies. Upon launch, users who had upgraded reported several errors regarding the service's accuracy and completeness, leading to CEO Tim Cook to apologize for the errors and suggest iOS 6 users use other mapping applications available in the App Store. The launch of iOS 6 in September 2012 was controversial due to its removal of Google Maps due to conflicts regarding licensing, and its replacement with an Apple-built Maps application.
