Legality of rendering UI elements by Apple?

Hi all.
Let me know what is the question.
I drew completely from scratch in Photoshop in the form of vector shapes all the icons of the new iOS7 system.
Here's a preview: www.behance.net/gallery/iOS-7-Home-Screen-With-100...
Well, I wanted to try my hand. Now I want to share the source code with other designers. Do I have the right to distribute this file completely free of charge? Or are PSDs rendered in this way infringing Apple's copyright?
The same goes for interface elements. If I want to completely recreate all the buttons, buttons, knobs and sliders, and also offer them to designers for free, how forbidden is this? After all, there are sets from Teehan + Lax, where elements of past iOS systems are meticulously reproduced with maximum realism, which helps designers to make their own mockups. Or does Teehan + Lax have some kind of contract with Apple?
Thank you.

It's probably free. For the money, I don't think it's worth it.

Post it, don't be shy. As you rightly noted, there are a lot of different renderings of previous versions on the network, and it seems like there were no problems. Well, if suddenly the guys from Apple come down to your bundle, then just close the shop without too much noise and that's it)

I wouldn't risk just posting as there are different ways for companies to "get down". They can just politely ask without problems, or they can demand some kind of compensation, which will be very unpleasant and you can easily go into the red.
Apple itself can give the most accurate answer. Tell the goals (mockup), areas of application (graphic design, app concept & design), so that Apple can clearly see that you are not going to compete and will not harm them.

Yes, people without exception use the Apple style anywhere and I don’t think that anyone was punished at all. On the net you can find a lot of templates for cms similar to the Apple site like 2 drops of water, so what? And nothing)

Didn't find what you were looking for?
