I don't think that's quite the right shade, Sean!

Color looks different in various photos, some closer to Festool green than others.

I read an interesting piece by NPR the other day regarding this new graphical revolution to flatter design seen here on the iOS 7 screens.

I then was sent this by a good friend and found it to be even more interesting:https://medium.com/design-ux/a93647e5a44b

Essentialy the tldr is a flat or empty graphic requires more brain processing as we subconsciously scan the inner and outer space around an icon, for example, rather than just the outside perimeter of a "non flat" icon that may have shading, gradient, etc.

Flat design is all the rage right now. While I can't say from a brain activity perspective what it does, I think the goal is cleaner, simpler user interfaces.

I'm yet to be convinced that the user experience with iOS7 will be a raging success. First time I haven't dived into the beta too with 7 ... maybe I'm getting old !

... for which reason we need a picture with a Festool item right next to the new phone in order to be able to tell.

The fact of the matter is its quite old and stale at this point.

The new iPhone color will go right along with the Festool Nike shoe
