I won't buy iPhone anymore if the UI goes like this. This looks like a downgrade, mixed up with Android and Windows.

The interface is quite nice, but for my taste it is similar with Windows Phone or Windows UI. But I will still be happy if Apple give ability to change themes but still universal (not changing the function location), more like Windows Theme selector.

Please,whoever thought of this square tiles idea shut it down!in my suggestion,u should give a little curved edges look to the icons.otherwise why should one waste his money on iPhone and not get the cheaper Nokia lumia ?

This reeks of Android interfaces from all angles. Simplicity should be clever, not useless. This looks fine for some Android launcher though.

Keep on dreaming dear iOS users. It won't even be close to this... "Our concept designs for iOS 7, gathered from the rumours, speculations and features we think Apple should include on the new OS" It will stay "Rumors", "Speculations" and day dreaming... Regards Former iPhone owner since iPhone first gen. till 5 And now happily an S3 - S4 user. R.I.P. Steve Jobs, you were the king.

What about functionality that might bring Apple even with Samsung? Haven't seen a game-changer in forever!!

Nice iOS 7

i think any change after 7 years with the iPhone is welcomed. i just hopped it would be a major one. Not just a minor color change...

It's better than android

Unlock screen from the top is a mistake. Every app icon looks too sharp like Android or Window OS. Added a little tiny round curve would be better and nicer!

looks too much like windows phone for my taste

Samsuks - May 11, 2013 at 2:59pm

unlock the screen from the top??? what the heck!!!! no thanks...... I'll stay with 6.2

Now Microsoft will have to remove square tiles.. as I'm sure Apple has the patent for that shape also..auuugh

SirSabatoge - May 11, 2013 at 1:51am

As long as the new ios has sb settings ill be satisfied

pathtologos - May 11, 2013 at 12:18am

In your dreams...lol. looks like many android custom roms, especially miui. YouTube it if u don't believe me.

Yousefq25 - May 10, 2013 at 11:18pm

Problem is they've gotten us all excited about a whole refreshed new look and this one doesnt really satisfy this objective. Sure it's flat now but it's still a bunch of icons on a home page. They need to allow more personal customization on home pages. That would give iPhones a more personal touch. No two iPhones will be the same.

Loreal - May 11, 2013 at 5:55am

Yes yes!! Personal touch!! ;-)

Looks like my old Droid X from 2010.

iBaylin - May 10, 2013 at 10:19pm

Look like windows but its not bad. I could get use to it but I hope it's something different with a whole new design.

Wow this so nice & sexy iOS 7 thank ?

f1982 - May 10, 2013 at 6:24pm

The concept is good- but it makes two mistakes in my prediction. First is to square off the icons- the iOS trademark look is the square with round corners, so I doubt they would change that. Make them look flat, yes, but square? No. Secondly, I think they will introduce live tiles. The option to have certain app icons at 4x or 8x their normal size which still have the same look and feel, but are able to display simplified information. This is a much better application than widgets, and keeps a unified look. I would be very surprised if iOS has another 'dead' screen.

Superz - May 10, 2013 at 5:53pm

No live wallpapers, no live icons, no widgets... No!

Yousefq25 - May 10, 2013 at 6:04pm

No not icons but rather huge widgets like the Lumia phones
