"Attendees will be randomly selected from qualified applicants."
Pity there isn't a web track like they had back then.
I’d definitely like for Apple to include the Netherlands again. Since the one I took part in, they haven’t included it in their World Tours. I might go to Berlin, but it’s not exactly close to where I live and I’d risk Apple sending German speaking devs.
Anyone know if videos of these talks will be available online for all?
Can't make it to an event? We’ll be posting videos of the sessions shortly after the last event, so all Registered Apple Developers can take advantage of great iOS 7 Tech Talks content.
For people who have attended a previous event: How long before the actual events did you get your invite?
Part of the whole thing about going flat is to rid yourself of unnecessary decor. This also means moving away from extreme levels of detail in favor of big, bold symbology - whittle down to the basic symbol and use that.
I think they've done this well for NYC and SF - large swathes of color, immediately recognizable symbology, and large undetailed shapes that are still recognizable.
Ditto Japan, though that one sort of derived itself.
Berlin, London, and Shanghai are weird though. Berlin and Shanghai especially - highly detailed silhouettes on what is otherwise a very spartan backdrop. Seems incongruous, especially when paired with the first two icons in the set.
You could show them the work of great Swiss designers for example, and they would think the same.
The question remains whether a polarising design makes sense for things like developer sessions, or Apple's "iOS for businesses" website a while ago. If not, then it might technically be good design, but used in the wrong context.
Yes, but polarising is not necessarily bad. It actually means "some think it's bad, some think it's good, and all think it's interesting enough to talk about".

Well, since they went with this aesthetic for iOS7 they will have to be consistent for their other iOS related material too.
