German site Apfelpage.de packs in less of the speculative features we’ve become accustomed to in some of the other iOS 7 ideas. Bringing toggles to the lock screen – something covered for a long while within the jailbreak scene – the concept then goes on to detail several interesting alterations and enhancements.
Both the Notification Center and multitasking bar are integrated into the lock screen as well as the home screen, and are accessible by lifting the area where the camera slider currently resides. Nothing appears to have been done about the multitask bar per se, and given just how one-dimensional and fiddly the feature currently is, this is a little disappointing. Personally, I hope Apple concentrates heavily on bringing much more enhanced functionality to multitasking than is currently on offer.
The concept then goes on to throw in one or two other goodies, including a revamped, Mailbox-like Mail app, and overall, this effort is perhaps indicative of some of the changes we could actually see on June 10th. Hopefully, as well as ridding the OS of all traces of skeuomorphism, Ive’s influence will help vastly improve iOS 7′s functionality, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what Apple comes up with.
