What do you think of these iOS 7 Concepts?

    They look real pretty but they are wholesale ripoffs of Android, Windows 8 and a recent jailbreak (the swipe to close being the key feature). So the notion of Think 'Different' is out the door.

    Also I doubt Apple would find any of them particularly better than the current methods. Notification center isn't really meant to replace going to the app and having this split between some things being an icon you have to tap to see information and a tile isn't very Apple. Nor is cluttering a screen with big icons that serve no purpose. Makes them as bad as over use of skeuomorphism which we know Sir J hates thanks to his very open comments on the subject.

    The swipe up for the tray, which is in the iPad multi touch gestures, will likely be added and the swipe down to close might be added for when such gestures are active but the rest would be a no go.

    I'd love to see quick access to often used settings like wifi, bluetooth and screen brightness on the iPhone be accessible either via the notification centre with a swipe down, or perhaps more logically via the quick app switcher being enhanced.

    Personally I don't like these at all. I think Auxo is a much more "Apple" way of doing the task manager and it just looks a lot better. As for notification centre, I don't see the point of having to tap an icon to see notifications? Notification centre is something you should open and glance at and see the information there and then. Having to tap the phone icon to show missed calls is just an extra unnecessary step in the UI. As for things like Instagram integration, I can't see it happening at all.

    I really don't like these, I believe that it would be an overall better concept if it was a lot cleaner and simpler, it all doesn't seem to fit in and seems rather messy.
