徹底顛覆

????自從蒂姆?庫(kù)克讓倫敦人喬尼?伊夫執(zhí)掌iOS大權(quán)后，外界紛紛猜測(cè)這位工業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)領(lǐng)域的大牛會(huì)帶來(lái)哪些變化。畢竟，iOS設(shè)備的出貨量已超過(guò)6億部，而應(yīng)用程序下載量更高達(dá)500億次，iOS已成為最為活躍的手機(jī)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。

????現(xiàn)在真相大白，就像庫(kù)克所說(shuō)的，iOS 7是蘋(píng)果有史以來(lái)最重大的軟件升級(jí)。從煥然一新的人機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)，再到重新設(shè)計(jì)多任務(wù)系統(tǒng)，iOS 7的變化可謂數(shù)不勝數(shù)。對(duì)于熟悉伊夫，或者是了解蘋(píng)果公司（Apple）內(nèi)幕的人而言，iOS 7的變化多少在意料之中。據(jù)報(bào)道，伊夫本人并不是“擬物化”的追隨者，這種設(shè)計(jì)強(qiáng)調(diào)將現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的某些元素融入到數(shù)字應(yīng)用中，例如蘋(píng)果之前的播客應(yīng)用，它的界面就是一部老式收音機(jī)。在iPhone誕生6年后，無(wú)數(shù)用戶(hù)早對(duì)iOS爛熟于心，所謂視覺(jué)提示已經(jīng)沒(méi)有必要。

????iOS 7即將在今年秋天登場(chǎng)，下面就是它最令人矚目的11項(xiàng)新功能。

扁平化的iOS

????隨著iOS 7第三季度正式推出，用戶(hù)將很快發(fā)現(xiàn)自己熟悉的界面已不復(fù)存在。整個(gè)系統(tǒng)更扁平化、更醒目，也變得更透明。在大部分場(chǎng)景下，應(yīng)用圖標(biāo)和文字看起來(lái)都像是純粹的二維圖形，整個(gè)屏幕的配色也更加鮮艷。半透明化的菜單頻頻出現(xiàn)，新的控制中心就是其中一個(gè)例子，iOS 7看起來(lái)頗有嬉皮士風(fēng)范。

Radically new

????When Tim Cook placed Jony Ive in charge of iOS development, many speculated about what changes the esteemed London-born industrial designer would bring. After all, with over 600 million iOS devices sold and 50 billion apps downloaded, iOS is a thriving software ecosystem in its own right.

????Now we know: iOS7 represents, according to Cook, the biggest software update ever. From a different aesthetic to a new multitasking system, the changes are many. That Ive and team went in a different direction with iOS7's looks should come as little surprise to those who know Ive or follow Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) closely. Ive was reportedly not a fan of "skeuomorphism," the design philosophy that led to digital representations of real-world items, like the reel-to-reel tape deck previously found in Apple's podcast app. After six years, most users should be pretty familiar with how iOS works without such visual cues.

????Here's a look at many of the new features users will discover this fall.

iOS, but flatter

????When iOS7 becomes widely available this fall, users will quickly notice that any sort of nostalgic visual cues have been done away with. This operating system is flatter, bolder, and more translucent. For the most part, app and text look more two-dimensional, and a more striking color palette permeates every screen. Semi-transparent menu layers, like those seen in the new Control Center, lend an updated, hipper look.
