“An Apple fan, Mohamed Kerroudj has posted a couple of concept videos on where Apple could take its UI in iOS 7,” Electronista reports.
“Looking reminiscent of the flat Windows Phone design language combined with elements of Google Now and the new popular new Mailbox app for iOS, Kerroudj’s approach has a minimalist style,” Electronista reports. “Kerroudj’s version of iOS 7 would have a much more functional lock-screen, while also removing the skeumorphism apparent in native iOS apps like Calendar.”
Electronista reports, “What Kerroudj has demonstrated in his concept video is intriguing, especially in the way he would have Apple clean up its ‘bubble’ notifications and other UI elements.”

A fan’s concept is nice eye candy, but the only concept that really matters is Jony Ive’s.
It is not even nice eye candy. It is just plain cr@p. Where did they dig this drivel up from.
There is more to great design than a pretty face.
But I like bubbles!
Agreed! I don’t see anything wrong with the current bubbles, and I absolutely abhor the direction these white, papery, arrow-heavy UIs are heading. Crisp and clean is one thing, but this stuff just looks sterile, lifeless, and unappealing.
Looks great and a big improvement over iOS6. Bring it on Ive!
More like Android 5 concept, rather than iOS 7 one.
Looks more like Windows 7 phone.
I am glad nerds exist.
Too many steps. Needs to be simpler than iOS 6, not more complicated.
Wow these are totally uninspiring and uninteresting
Bubbles are skeuomorphic. It would be Apple to be simple. Knowledge where you need it.
Others have already believed and followed. So now what?
If I wanted the windows phone experience I wod have purchased a windows. WTH?
That and $2.00 will get me a cup of coffee!
Looks like what MS did with W8, a new sliding tile interface overlaid on top of the familiar OS.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give “Apple Metro”!
F***ing piece of Androidian shit.
Sounds like a self description.
personally, I like the current calendar and contacts apps. What I don’t like are sterile lists.
I’ve tried a couple of calendar apps, but gone back to to standard one. One thing it desperately needs is an amendment to the alerts function, so that you can set up an alert for days, weeks or months, say for birthdays, where you might need plenty of warning to allow for buying a present, or for posting long distance, or organising a party or something.
Yes, I know you can set for ‘all day’, but there are occasions I need plenty of advance warning for booking time off for an event that isn’t all day. It shouldn’t be difficult to do.
Not a bad concept, but as an iOS app designer myself, the biggest issue I have with this is how much information and how many bubbles are crammed into such a tiny space on some of these screens.
You’d be squinting to read the tiny text on the email example, and on the music player, there are 12 songs to choose from in the space maybe 4-6 easily touchable buttons could fit in. Touch targets here are way smaller than Apples guidelines, which would make the interface very frustrating to use.
Interesting concept though.
Whatever IOS7 is going to look like is already set in stone. W just don’t know what it is yet.
By iOS 7 Apple will have new ad music, or I’m OUTTA here.
That soundtrack is so dated and stale!
That’s coming from an Apple fan.
The lock screen was too packed with in with information and there was no demo of actually unlocking the phone. It seemed far too confusing and definitely *not* Apple like. Yes, I know it’s a concept, but it’s not a very good one.
And what exactly is the point of this?
come on, MDN. is it even news you posted here. how pathetic you are. anybody can make it for sure. please, pull it down. my plan is that I won’t buy iphone 5s or anything upcoming from apple. apple product is tired.
