It's going to be really interesting if (as rumoured) they make major UI theme changes in iOS7. Until now Apple has reaped the benefits but not really had to pay the true price for the relatively inflexible approach with the UI. If they update the UI to look different, every app that hard coded images, colors, dimensions or other facets of the UI is going to suddenly look broken. It'll be really interesting to see how it goes.

- rimantas 14y agoNot sure if I follow. If app uses custom styling it means it does not use OS theme, and hence is not influenced by its change. Also, developers will get an early access so they can test and fix things in advance.
- RyanZAG 14y agoSome apps use default styling for half of their UI, and custom for the other half. When the default styling changes, it's going to have a strange effect of the custom components no longer fitting in.
