With the release of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drip) iOS7 system coming soon in the fall, Justin Wagoner of the Agency San Diego set out to imagine what a series of ordinary household objects would look like if they got the iOS7 treatment.

The series re-imagines coffee pots, [alarm clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock), microwaves and TVs with Apple’s new flat, transparent design. Nearly every object displays a clock in big numbers, as well as adopts the round buttons, the new color palette and the overall [minimal aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-clock-1) of the iOS7.

This project is a fun look at what it might be like if Apple was to design entire houses and the products to work within them. If it were real, one could imagine that everything in the entire house could operate on a connected network.
