It has been widely speculated that Apple will give us a sneak peak at iOS 7, the next generation mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch at the WWDC 2013 Keynote on June 10.
Last month, 9to5Mac revealed that iOS 7 codenamed Innsbruck will feature a “fresh look” with a “very, very flat” interface. The overhaul is being led by Jony Ive, Apple’s SVP of Industrial Design, who took over the design of iOS 7 from Scott Forstall.
We continue to get information about iRadio, Apple’s rumored Pandora-like music streaming service. Yesterday, a report claimed that Apple may not be able to launch the service at the WWDC due to licensing issues with Sony Music, the world’s second largest music label.
Google just launched Google Play All Access music subscription service at the I/O conference earlier this week, and Apple’s widely expected to follow with the launch of the much rumoured “iRadio” streaming service in June at WWDC.
BGR has published high resolution photos of several parts, which it claims are from the next generation iPhone, unofficially dubbed iPhone 5S.
The leaked parts include the loud-speaker bracket, ear speaker bracket, vibrating motor assembly, Wi-Fi flex cable ribbon and SIM card tray from Apple’s 7th generation iPhone.
Sharp, one of Apple’s display partners is going to start manufacturing LCD panels for the next generation iPhone, dubbed iPhone 5S in June at its Kameyama Plant No. 1 in Japan, according to a report from Japanese newspaper Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun.
The report also notes that Japan Display and LG Display, Apple’s other display partners have already started mass production of LCD panels for the next iPhone.
Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Apple runs the risk of delaying the release of iOS 7 due the design overhaul and increased collaboration between the hardware and software divisions under Jony Ive.
However, AllThingsD reports that according to their sources iOS 7 will ship on time.
