Concept Video iOS 7 Hints at Possibilties

With the recent departure of Scott Forstall (former Senior VP of iOS Software Dev), Apple have subsequently replaced him with Jony Ive. With this change in management many people are hoping to see some major changes in the UI of iOS. Previous versions of Apple's mobile operation system have all had their ups and downs, but with a consistent cry from the public to change the notifications system and user interface.

Apple have also began fishing engineers out of their OS X department to work on iOS 7, which will probably be launch during Apple's annual WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference). With recent reports pointing to their corporate schedule falling behind, Apple is obviously pulling out all the stops to impress everyone in June.

In the mean time, some interesting concepts have started to appear, showcasing potential feature changes to the operating system. Most of these point towards enhanced lockscreens and handy widgets, gaining inspiration from different features already available to user through jailbreaks. The video below shows a designer F. Bianco showcasing some original and elegant solutions to user complaints. Feel free to check the video out, and give your opinion on what software changed you expect or would like to see from Apple.
