At present we have multitasking with iOS 6 but it is very limited in terms of functionality. Now that iOS 7 is on the horizon, this is something that concept makers have focused their attentions on in the past few weeks. Ran Avni is another designer that has some fresh ideas on how iOS multitasking should play out in the future and he delivers a rather intriguing concept which sees windows for different apps form a card-like UI.
He released a video detailing this and each app has its own card in what appears to be a greatly expanded version of the popular Auxo for iPhone jailbreak tweak. He also takes a lot of design queues from the famous Multifl0w for iPhone tweak. The layout sees each card placed in grid form, with a delete button in the upper left hand corner of each card allowing users to quickly discard a window and close the app in question. As fewer apps are left open, the window becomes larger to take advantage of the extra space. This is a very nice touch.
Multitasking at present is one of the most cumbersome elements of iOS in general and this concept certainly solves most of the issues concerning this feature. Not only is everything much bigger and easier to view, but with a preview of the apps current status, you won't end up closing an app in the middle of an unfinished task which is something that can happen quite easily at the moment.
IOS 7 is expected to be announced at this year's WWDC 2013 in San Francisco, starting the 10th of June and we hope that multitasking is going to see some big changes.
