On the Apple’s major event on Tuesday, many Apple watchers have been predicting new hardware announcements, but an inadvertent leak on the company’s website hints that its software will be getting an update, too.
Several newly designed icons for Apple’s suite of apps were discovered on the iPhone 5S and 5C “Built-in Apps” page by MacRumors on Sunday. In addition to the new icons leaked last week, which included GarageBand and iPhoto, the page showed redesigned logos for iMovie, Keynote, Pages and Numbers.
As the image shows (see below), the redesigned app logos display a decidedly more iOS 7 approach, ditching the skeuomorphic design treatments of the past.
However, Apple quickly removed the updated logos version of the page, which now offers no hint of the previous images shown.
Another tidbit caught on the leaked website page was a note indicating that GarageBand will soon be free-of-charge. The text, which has also been removed, read:
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013.
If these leaked images and text are any indication, Apple’s event on Tuesday promises to offer a number of interesting updates to both the iWork and iLife app packages
