"New details have emerged surrounding the rumoured changes to Apple&amp;#039;s iOS 7. A source close to the company told 9to5Mac that the next generation operating system will feel &amp;quot;black, white and flat all over&amp;quot;.   The changes are thought to be lead designer Jonathan Ive&amp;#039;s way of removing &amp;quot;heavy textures&amp;quot; currently used in &amp;quot;real-life&amp;quot; elements on the operating system. Ive is believed to have pushed for the replacement of &amp;#039;linen and leather textures&amp;#039; on some iOS apps with a flat white and black colouring. The familiar yellow notepad Notes app is said to take on a flat white look, while Mail, Calendar, and Maps will get a uniform appearance with flat white textures.  Other alleged changes include the removal of the glossy &amp;quot;slide to unlock&amp;quot; bar which has been in use since the beginning of iOS, in favour of a simplified black look, with rounded buttons for the pass code. Stock apps could receive a facelift to fit the new style, along with redesigns for the App Store, Newsstand, Game Center, Safari, Weather and Camera. Sources also say that Ive has &amp;quot;made his mark on every corner of the operating system&amp;quot; without alienating longtime users of iOS. The claims back-up previous reports that the Apple operating system will take on a flat look akin to Windows Phone. Apple will officially unveil the new iOS at WWDC 2013 on June 10.
