...I can't help but wonder what the next version of OS X (10.10? 10.A? 11.0?) will look like.

Will it port back the new style, much as the visual style of iOS 1-6 was based on the OS X style used from 10.5 Leopard to 10.9 Mavericks?

After five largely identical versions it's due for a refresh too, and it'd seem logical for Apple to want to have a continuous graphical design language across their devices.

On that note; might the iPod nano & Apple TV UIs also be brought into line with iOS's new flat-textured/candy-coloured aesthetic?

I do realise this, but honestly, if your going to go to the effort of changing 99%, why not do that other 1% considering that this is what iOS 7 is all about, Flat and anti-skeuomorphism.
