WWDC app may be showing a new UIKit iPhone theme for iOS 6 →

Cult of Mac posted screenshots of the WWDC app. The same visual style is also in the purported iOS 6 Maps photos.

I’d love to see a modern refresh of the iPhone UIKit widget styling. The blue-gradient style doesn’t look bad, but it does look dated. It was probably designed in 2006, and it shows.

When was the last time you saw an iPhone app with the stock blue UIKit widgets that you thought was well-designed?1 It’s out of style.

  1. I think Tweetie 2 was the last one for me. It was released in 2009. ↩︎
