It has been widely reported that Apple has moved engineering resources from the OS X project to try to get iOS 7 finished on time. However, this doesn’t mean there will be a delay in either, according to The Loop and All Things D. This also happened before the launch of iOS in 2007, when resources were taken away from the development of OS X 10.5 Leopard.

This means, as we reported earlier this week, that iOS 7 will be ready for a preview at WWDC in June, and release in September, which is very much a normal release schedule for Apple. Every day we hear more ‘sources’ claiming the influence of Jonathan Ive is all over iOS 7.

The previous Senior Vice President of iOS, Scott Forstall, is said to have been in favor of the skeuomorphic design in many iOS apps. The green felt of Game Center, the leather stitching of notes, and the shelves in iBooks are all examples of this, and they are likely to be gone in iOS 7.
