You can't just use text on buttons, it wouldn't work well with translations. Some words are very much longer in other languages. How would a button know if it should shrink or grow to accommodate the required text? Localisation is extremely difficult if you want to retain a usable interface.

I don't doubt for a moment that apple approves leaks.
The point is that apple isn't hyping anything.
Now you're believing the hype about the leaks. The simple fact remains that no one out side of apple know anything definite about any of this
