The next Apple's mobile operating system should mark the final abandonment of the scheumorfismo so dear to Forstall and much hated by Ive, who now has responsibility for the design of the GUI





The website 9to5Mac reports some interesting rumors about the future of Apple's mobile operating system: iOS 7, also known by the code name of "Innsbruck", will be subject to a profound new graphic interface that will be based on an approach "very very flat. "

Since the ouster of Scott Forstall , which took place last October, and with the appointment of Jony Ive in the position of manager of graphical user interfaces, are circulated speculation that the next version of iOS would abandon the road of scheumorfismo so dear to Forstall for a 'simplest and most minimalist more in strings Ive.

The term scheumorfismo, remember, means the style that plays graphic elements to call other objects in the real world without there being any functional implication. Inside iOS, for example, the 
representation of the agenda in skin within the application calendar is an example of scheumorfismo, as well as the animation of the shredders when you delete a ticket withinPassbook or still the shelf wood within the application iBooks.

According to reports available, the new graphics of "Innsbruck" should lose all its most "frivolous" of his predecessors, such as reflections and shiny and complex textures, and go in the direction of a simplicity that, according to sources, would be similar to what can be seen with the interface"Metro" Windows Phone. The redesign should lead to the use of simple texture and a new set of icons for all core applications of iOS, as well as new graphics for menus and toolbars of various apps and interface-based system.

The underlying philosophy is to make the look and feel of iOS "immune" to the time. With the setting scheumorfica of Forstall, in fact, some users of the new generations could not grasp why the application calendar there are textures that point to an agenda skin.

The new setting of the graphical interface will not, at least as reported by the sources, no impact on the computing user since the mechanical operation of the operating system will remain unchanged compared to the current situation. The learning curve for the use of iOS 7, therefore, will not undergo any distortion.

The new iOS 7 will be shown at the Worldwide Developer Conference organized for the next 10 to 14 June at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
