WWDC 2013 software wrap-up: iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks lead the way
This year’s WWDC keynote revealed both the next generation in Apple’s mobile operating system and their change of name re-track of their desktop-based OS X. With iOS 7, Jony Ive’s look and feel are rather apparent with a top-to-bottom adjustment to the operating system along with some pointed connections to the desktop side of things. Apple’s update to OS X, on the other hand, sees a slightly less drastic adjustment happening: and no, that’s not OS X Sea Lion, it’s more of a wave sort of situation.

Apple may have detailed some of the headline features of iOS 7 - Siri, liveliness wallpapers, and more - but there's plenty more that the company didn't have time for.

iOS 7 leak details flatter, matte graphics ahead of WWDC 2013 reveal
Apple's "flat" iOS 7 refresh has been previewed, with reportedly eyes-on leaks tipping a more matte finish to the iconography along with the potential for two different color schemes. The new interface, apparently demonstrated in early beta form to 9to5Mac and then mocked-up to bypass Apple's watermarking, uses the same slimline font as we've already seen Apple adopt at its WWDC 2013 venue, while the graphics do away with fake 3D effects and, in some cases, are changed completely.
