We’ve seen a couple of iOS 7 concepts in the past, and for the most part most of the concepts surround the different ways the lock screen could be improved upon, notifications, and multitasking. Now we’ve also heard that with iOS 7 and with Jony Ive at the helm, the software could see not just UI changes, but how the operating system is used too, an example would be the expose-like multitasking feature found on OS X. Now thanks to a concept video by Ran Avni, we get to see what Jony Ive could have in store for us with the announcement of iOS 7 which will most likely take place during WWDC next month.

Based on the video, it certainly looks pretty good and impressive and could very well be the multitasking that iOS users have been begging for the past couple of iOS iterations. Will this be what Jony Ive has planned for us, or did you have something in mind? In any case if this isn’t what Jony Ive had planned, we guess the jailbreak community will probably implement this into a jailbreak tweak of its own, assuming there isn’t something similar like this already available in Cydia.

Yesterday we reported that a couple of details about iOS 7 were leaked ahead of its possible announcement at WWDC 2013. Basically those details involved the user interface of the software, and today the folks at 9to5 Mac have managed to get more information about the upcoming update, and unsurprisingly it seems that according to their sources, iOS 7 is expected to offer more integration with vehicles through the use of Siri. We said that this is unsurprising because Siri has already seen some integration with vehicles through the Eyes Free feature.

However what’s more interesting is that the integration is expected to go beyond Siri and could even see integration with Apple Maps on the dashboard of cars! Considering that Apple Maps was thought of as highly inaccurate during its launch, we’re seriously hoping that Apple has managed to get their stuff together if they hope that Apple Maps integration in vehicles is to be met with enthusiasm instead of groans. In any case take this with a grain of salt for now, but with WWDC coming up in the next month, we expect more details to be revealed then. In the meantime what do you guys think? Anyone interested in seeing Apple Maps integration in their vehicles?

Apple announced the dates for this year’s WWDC earlier today which they also announced they will be using the show to give an in-depth look at the next version of both iOS and OS X. We’ve seen some great iOS 7 concepts in the past, one of which reimagines the lock screen, text messaging and more, but a new concept has caught our attention today for what is being imagined for some of iOS’ most notable apps.

The iOS 7 concept comes to us by Rafael Justino and takes a look at a re-imagined Clock, Voice Memo, Weather and Calculator app. Some of the improvements look to be a simple change in the app’s overall color scheme, but his concept for the Contacts app is one I could certainly get behind. Being able to see attached photos of your contacts straight from the start of the Contacts app will certainly help in recognizing a person, especially if you have a long list of names.

Analysts usually fire off their opinions in notes to investors, they often make some interesting observations and comments. Steve Milunovich, an analyst at UBS, believes that iPhone 5 sales have been disappointing because its not a killer product. Now I am sure many of you would disagree with him, but he bases his argument upon the idea that iPhone 5 sales have been hit by the popularity of Samsung’s gigantic phablets, which offer greater screen real estate.
