Apple hasn’t said when the iOS 7 beta will hit the iPad yet, but some savvy developers have managed to run an emulator to see what the software will look like when it lands.
Unsurprisingly, it’s not hugely dissimilar to the iPhone version of the software but, you know, bigger.
The Control Center panel is the most noticeably different, arraying its icons horizontally rather than stacked as they are on the narrower iPhone screen.
The software still offers the new torch option which seems redundant since there isn’t an iPad with a flash at this point; is that a mistake, or a hint at a possible feature of the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2? Or it could just be because this is the iPhone software being emulated on a tablet. One of the two.

This isn’t the first time we’ve caught a glimpse of the iPad running iOS 7 – Apple itself includes the iPad 2, iPad with Retina and iPad mini on its iOS 7 info page, although you don’t get to see much beyond the home screen with Apple’s traditional app layout.

There’s one new icon of note – a red box which, as 9to5Mac points out, is probably PhotoBooth.
As today’s screenshots come from an unofficial source and are freely admitted to be run off an emulator, we’d say there’s a strong chance we’ll see some tweaks and changes before iOS 7 hits iPads officially.
And when will that be? We’re expecting iOS 7 to get its official release in September alongside the new iPhone 5S.
