Sources in contact with Bloomberg indicate this delay stems from a impending overhaul of iOS&#8217; user interface and &#8220;dramatic&#8221; changes to Apple&#8217;s e-mail and calendar apps. These arguably much-needed enhancements come at the behest of Jonathan Ive &#8212; Apple&#8217;s long-time hardware (and now software) design visionary &#8212; as he attempts to refine and even undo some of Scott Forstall&#8217;s most questionable work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/52433-ios-7-dramatic-e-mail-and-calendar-revamp-causes-delay.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/nccomputertech.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/2013-05-01-image-4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Apple &#8220;skeuomorphism&#8221; on current iOS apps (image credit: iMore).<br \/>\nIf rumors hold true, vanquished will be skeuomorphic design elements &#8212; possibly ones like yellow paper-looking notepads and e-books nestled upon virtual wooden shelves. Instead, sources claim Ive and company are working toward a &#8220;very, very flat&#8221; and modern look which is to become uniform throughout iOS. Changes in store for e-mail and calendar apps are unknown at this point, but there&#8217;s certainly plenty of room for improvement: a truth which projects like Mailbox seem well aware of.<br \/>\nSo, wait a moment &#8212; flatter? Are we talking &#8220;Windows 8&#8221; flatter or just the removal of electronically simulated leather and wood grain? 9to5Mac recently took a stab at explaining what this could mean. Naturally though, such details about upcoming iOS changes remain elusive. However, we may get a glimpse of iOS 7 on June 10; Apple is expected to pull the curtain on both Mac OS X 10.9 and its latest iOS at this year&#8217;s WWDC.<br \/>\nDespite purported internal delays, Bloomberg&#8217;s sources claim iOS 7 remains on track for its anticipated September release. This apparent confidence concerning a still-timely release may be due in part to Apple&#8217;s decision to enlist additional help from Mac OS X 10.9 engineers.<br \/>\nvia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/52433-ios-7-dramatic-e-mail-and-calendar-revamp-causes-delay.html\" target=\"_blank\">iOS 7: &#8220;dramatic&#8221; e-mail and calendar revamp causes delay &#8211; TechSpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors earlier this month suggested Apple&#8217;s iOS 7 may be running behind schedule.
