iOS 7 is just around the corner, and with it a whole new slew of icons. If you haven't been living under a rock since June, you definitely heard of the revamped, all new, iOS 7. Coming with this new software are many new icons to add to the look. Icons that are flatter and simpler than previous iterations of iOS.
In the past, app developers have tried to make their app icons to assimilate well into whatever Apple serves up as part of their new software. iOS 7 will be no different. You might've noticed ,lately, but companies have started updating their apps with new icons, to further match the new, flatter look of iOS 7.
Recently, Apple has even gone as far as to send developers a note to change the dimensions of their app icons. The reason for this is that the icons in iOS 7 are a couple pixels wider and taller. New dimensions were set so that the old icons wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb when the new icons had taken precedence over the old ones.
Below is an example of one of my favorite pass "productive" pass times: a word search app. As, you can see the app is much more simplified, compared to the its previous icon that had tiny letters instead of circles. Its... simple, and elegant at the same time, while still getting the point across, just like iOS 7. Here, the developer used the "less is more" technique Apple is pushing, and it looks pretty darn cool!
Along this line of thinking, different people have begun to speculate that app developers might change the UI of their app to match iOS 7, also. This would be a welcome sign to many, me especially. On the whole, I believe iOS 7 has changed for the better, and it only goes up from here!
