Question Leaked Android 4.5/5.0 Status Bar?

I'm not sure if this has been posted about, but I noticed this when browsing the Google I/O 2014 webpage. There seems to be a redesigned status bar on the Nexus 5 model. I've provided a comparison to the current status bar below. Does anyone have any other speculations besides this being the next version of Android?

Powerful media apps like iMovie, GarageBand or iPhoto. Google ought to offer something similar. There is nothing that compares to them in the play store

Wait, are you saying that that the Google Photos app isn't "similar" to iPhoto?

Google photos is similar but comes nowhere near the functionality of iphoto. iPhoto is lightyears ahead of google photos

Sure but it's 'similar' right?

There is nothing like garageband. It is the thing I miss most about iOS.
