This seems like blog spam based on blog spam based on "sources". I'd take it with a grain of salt.
I'd also be very skeptical that Ive would create a sweeping change to a formula that works so well currently (Regardless of what the technorati think, joe consumer loves the iPhone UI. Small gizmos and refreshes are all that's needed to keep the standard consumer sufficiently happy), especially with Cook in charge.
A better article could probably be condensed into:
"According to sources it looks like Apple will follow the latest design trends and begin incorporating flat design into their products." Which is a no-brainer and hardly sells adspace.
