iOS 7 Redesigns

The next version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 7, has generated plenty of conversation since it debuted last month - and not all of it positive. Some designers think it looks like a stunning, simplified refresh - others think it's a garish rehash of the same old ideas.

And then there are the apps - not Apple's, but those by every other developer who have to update their software to comply with the new OS guidelines. Since most of us use third-party apps more than Apple's own official software, it's likely that yhour experience of iOS 7 will depend on their good work more than it does the engineers at Cupertino.

WIth that in mind, one Tumblr user has taken it upon themselves to show what iOS 7 will really look , Jacob Reed, like, by building simplified screenshots of popular apps with the new design language. It's an interesting insight into iOS 7 - and while the final apps might look a bit different to these images, it's a pretty good guide as to why you'll want to upgrade, or not, once it's out.

Take a look below.
