 Hi Hans --

But have you read the article concerning iOS7 flat design I have posted in reply to Arthur's note on Win8 "Metro" UI? The article is about iOS7 developers' dilemma: "adapt their custom apps to iOS7 new UI or die":

"Apple Publishes iOS 7 Transition Guide To Help Developers Adopt Flat Design"
http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/10/apple-publishes-ios-7-transition-guide-to-help-developers-adopt-flat-design/

" As expected, Apple is  introducing  a completely new design language for  iOS 7 . For developers, this means they will have to adapt their apps to match the rest of the operating system if they don’t want them to look antiquated. "
