Apple's iOS 7 is coming, and the iPhone is getting a complete design overhaul, or so the rumors go.

Many aspects of the traditional iPhone look are going to be scrapped. The lock screen is where the first changes will appear. The old grid that you type your passcode on will be replaced with round black buttons, and everything will be matte. Features like app icons are getting "flatter." No more fake shine, no more shadows, no more gradients.

The apps themselves are getting a makeover as well. Built-in apps like Notes, Mail, and Calendar will look more uniform and will be mostly white.
