iOS 7 described as superior even before release
Apple’s WWDC 2013 is looming large, and we are anticipating the formal introduction of iOS 7 after months of rumor, speculation and leaks. Much has been discussed about the new-look iOS 7 after reports that Apple’s Jony Ive is bringing a flatter, more industrial design influence to the OS upgrade. Now we hear that iOS 7 is being described as ‘superior’ even before its release, and we wonder if iOS device users will agree.
We’ve seen iOS 7 concepts, leaks about features and recently a leaked
image claiming to be of a handset Home page running iOS, and we have
summarized much of this in our iOS 7 countdown
post. We have also spoken many times about the less skeuomorphic look
that has been rumored for iOS 7 and noted that it remains to be seen as
to whether this new look will be a hit with iOS device users. However,
it seems that iOS 7 could be a big success if a recent report is
anything to go by.
Trip Chowdhry is an analyst with Global Equities Research and
certainly seems to believe that the six months spent revamping the
mobile operating system has been well worthwhile. After interviewing
between 400 and 500 people a month on recent travels to tech conferences
over the past few months, Chowdhry has picked up the vibe that the
revamped design of iOS is “far superior to anything that is available
out there.” The analyst also describes iOS 7 as “very simple, clean and
uncluttered.”
As this is not simply one person’s view but is a conclusion based on
conversations with people involved in the tech industry over recent
months, we’re inclined to think this is a promising sign for iOS 7
users. At the same time Chowdhry also mentioned that the iOS 7 UI
could feature new Bend and Squeeze touch gestures, although he did not
elucidate further on this.
We’re certainly interested to find out whether Chowdhry’s faith in
iOS 7 is reflected by consumers, and we shall be bringing readers all of
the news from WWDC 2013 when it begins on Monday. You can find out about live blogging for WWDC here or about the WWDC app here.
While we wait to see the reveal of iOS 7
to make up our own minds, we’d like to hear your comments about the
upcoming OS upgrade. Are you eagerly awaiting the debut of iOS 7? Are
you open to the idea of a completely new look for the operating system,
or do you like it just as it is?
