Various rumours are coming out that suggest that iOS 7 is to resemble the Windows os and it will look very flat and be more simplistic by nature.

If these rumours are true then it is a step way from its current design, which has remained relatively similar since day one. According to to 9to5Mac it could prove to be a difficult transformation for iPhone users, who are accustomed to the current iOS design.

However this new simplistic look could lead to a downscaling of heavy textures, glossiness and real-life digital elements such as the yellow notepad.

Other rumours have suggested that iOS 7 will have redesigned tool bars and tab bars. There is also a likely hood that the os will come with new-look icons for Apple’s native apps.

But it is likely in reality knowing how apple operates, that the changes will be mainly on the cosmetic level and the core apps and the system would still function largely the same as it did before.

The details of the iOS 7 are expected to be revealed at the forthcoming WWDC  event in June.
