Disclosures related to iOS 7 continue today, Bloomberg offers some details interesting about what he plans to offer us Jony Ive. Apart from the changes to the operating system interface, Jony Ive plans to offer us new applications Email si Calendar, two of the most important native applications of the iOS operating system. Ive has so far removed the skeumorphic elements of iOS and replaced them with graphic elements that should be much more suitable for such an operating system.
Ive, 46, has begun revamping iPhone and iPad applications, shunning realistic images, such as wood bookshelves for the Newsstand feature, and he's exploring more dramatic changes to the e-mail and calendar tools, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. Ive is also methodically reviewing new designs, seeking to avoid a repeat of last year's release of map tools that were widely panned, and he's encouraging collaboration between the software and hardware divisions, which operated in silos under co-founder Steve Jobs, people said.
Jony Ive closely follows the creative process of the company's engineers Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, approve each of the changes to be implemented in iOS 7, and this complicates the development process. The people who are part of the development team iOS 7 I argue that the deadlines for handing over the new functions are much later compared to those from the same period last year, this could suggest the fact that the new version of the operating system could be launched after September.
The introduction of new features, along with an emphasis on cooperation and deliberation, comes at a cost for Cupertino, California-based Apple. Engineers are racing to finish iOS 7, the next version of the mobile software, in time for a June preview at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. While the company still expects to release iOS 7 on time as soon as September, internal deadlines for submitting features for testing are being set later than past releases, people said.
Apple uses engineers from the OS X development team to finish the development process of iOS 7 and there is a lot of pressure for the new features to be truly innovative. Jony Ive started the change process less than a year before the release of iOS 7 and it remains to be seen how much he will manage to leave his mark on the future of iOS.
