15 iOS 7 Predictions is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.As expected, Apple introduced the new version of iOS at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, taking the shroud down from around iOS 7, an update that Apple is calling the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone back in 2007. The software is slated for a fall release but ahead of that release, it’s time to make some bold iOS 7 predictions. In the build up to WWDC 2013, Apple was heavily rumored to be announcing a new versions of its OS X and iOS software. Apple didn’t let anyone down and took the stage to show off several new products that it had been working on including new MacBook Airs, a new Mac Pro, and of course the stars of the show, OS X Mavericks and iOS 7. Read: iOS 7 for iPad: 5 Things to Know. Apple saved maybe the best for last with the introduction of iOS 7, a piece of software that will be coming to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch this fall to replace the current version of iOS, iOS 6. Unlike past iOS updates, iOS 7 features a drastic overhaul, not just in terms of features, but in the looks department as well. That is to say, iOS 7 looks vastly different from any previous version of iOS. From a new color palate, to new icons, to new textures, iOS 7 is a remarkable transformation from version of iOS that is sitting on iPhones and iPads around the world right now. Virtually nothing looks the same. Of course, iOS 7 is also a work in progress. Apple has only released one iOS 7 beta thus far, meaning it has a long way to go before the company and its developers work out the kinks of the new software. Apple has set an iOS 7 release deadline of this fall which means that it will be hitting consumers sometime between the months of September, October and November. Ahead of that highly anticipated release date, it’s time to make some iOS 7 predictions, 15 of them in fact, about the iOS 7 release date, its features and more. September Release We expect the iOS 7 release in September. Maybe the biggest question that consumers have about the iOS 7 update is when it will be coming out for the iPhone and iPad. Apple, so far, has only said that it will be releasing the software sometime this fall, leaving a wide swath of time open for a roll out. While no specific dates have leaked out yet, we think that iOS 7 will be heading to users sometime in September. Here are several reasons why we think this will be the case. iOS updates tend to stay in beta for 60-90 days. That points to August-September. iPhone 5S is heavily rumored for September. Makes sense since the iPhone 5 came out in September and it’s sandwiched nicely between summer and holiday shopping months. It’s entirely possible that we could see Apple wait into the deep regions of fall to release iOS 7, remember it’s a big overhaul and not close to being finished, but our gut tells us that Apple will release iOS 7 in September. iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad At Same Time Interestingly, Apple didn’t release the iOS 7 beta for iPhone and iOS 7 beta for iPad at the same time. Instead of releasing it on announcement day, Apple opted to push the iPad iOS 7 beta to the summer with a release date still unknown. Despite the difference in release dates, we fully expect Apple to release the iOS 7 updates for iPhone and iPad at the same time, as it has done in the past. No Need to Get Up Early to Install iOS 7 What would iOS 7 predictions be if we didn’t make predictions in regards to the actual time that iOS 7 will be released when it arrives this fall. Typically, Apple iOS updates arrive around the same time, somewhere in between 9AM and 10AM PST. That’s no guarantee that Apple will do the same thing with iOS 7, but we expect its release to fall sometime in the morning on a day in September, likely in between those times. Keep in mind, Apple will make it available not only through iTunes, but Over-the-Air as well meaning iPhone and iPa

Plans to develop the Oak Knoll site in Oakland are being resurrected by new owner Signature Development. The previous owners, Lehman Brothers, went bust after the 2008 financial meltdown, along with their hopes to develop the site of a former naval hospital (which was imploded in 2011). Signature development "plans to submit revised plans for approval within the next year and could start construction on the project as early as two years from now."
