The always very credible John Paczkowski of All Things D has written a very interesting piece today all about Apples plans for iOS 7. Before addressing the style choices made by Jony Ives team, Paczkowski begins by confirming that he has heard from sources who are forbidden to talk publicly about Apples plans that Apple has diverted engineers away from working on OS X 10.9 to work on iOS 7. Its essentially a repeat of the iPhone/Leopard scenario, said the source. Paczkowski says that one of the reasons for iOS 7 needing all hands to the pump is because it is such a big update, with Ive now imprinting his Spartan, elegant aesthetic on the new iOS. You know Game Centers green felt craps table? another source told Paczkowski, when talking about the ditching of skeumorphic design principles. Well, goodbye, Circus Circus. Paczkowski goes on to say that the famed skeumorphic design of all iOS versions up until now was largely down to Scott Forstall, who has now been replaced by Sir Jony Ive, who was previously responsible for designing Apples iconic devices. As one of Paczkowskis sources put it: Sounds like a much-needed de-Forstallization.[/FONT]
