I understand the visceral reaction to the fake leather and hatred of metaphors taken too far, but I wouldn't go expecting iOS 7 to look like Metro.
I'd rather expect a toning down, a reduction – not banishment of gradients and all texture and personality. Look at the iOS 6 App Store redesign and iTunes 11 for visual hints.
Just as OS X toned toned the gloss and lost the pinstripes, iOS too will have its refinement.

- Stratoscope 13y agoFor a similar flattening done in a good way, look at the window chrome in the Windows 8 desktop compared with Windows 7. Not Metro or Modern, the desktop. Window titlebars have lost the peekaboo effect and use a solid color instead. The min/max/close buttons do a simple color change with a quick fade confined to their own little rectangle, instead of glowing around the edges. It's a subtle but pleasant improvement. I don't like the Start screen, but not because of its flatness. It's the tiny text that doesn't obey my screen DPI setting and the gratuitous animation that really bothers my eyes. But that's OK, I use Start8 which brings back a non-animated start menu with the correct font size.
