Design trends

Apple’s new iOS 7 updates have caused some controversy in design circles. The new look icons have received decidedly mixed reviews causing a marmite moment in the Apple fan-base. Here at Mulberry we are attempting to give Mr Ive the benefit of the doubt and hope that on-screen they look considerably better than in the released pictures.

It’s difficult not to feel though that by moving to flat colours now – after they have been a hot trend for probably over a year – Apple have missed the boat somewhat; instead of being ahead of the pack, they’ve turned into a decidedly tired looking sheep trailing behind the herd.

Certainly the new look has been compared to Windows’ look and appears to have lost some of Apple’s trademark quirkiness.
