The next iteration of Apple's iOS mobile operating system will sport a very flat look, getting rid of glossy icons and user interface elements, and skeumorphic designs, if a new report is to be believed.
Online publication, 9to5Mac, cites multiple people who have seen or have knowledge of iOS 7,codenamed "Innsbruck," Apple's upcoming mobile operating system, to report that it would feature some redesigned elements, which could be on the lines of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system's Metro/ Modern UI. However, the report also indicates that the fundamental elements of the OS would remain the same including its core apps, home and lock screens, so that existing users feel at home, and there's no learning curve. The similarity to Windows Phone would be in terms of getting rid of elements like gradients completely.
