English term or phrase: walk a fine line

Nearly everyone expects iOS 7 to be a significant overhaul and a signature moment for the Cook-led Apple era. Moreover, Apple blogger John Gruber says he's heard rumors that Apple is pulling OS X engineers to work on iOS 7 because it's behind schedule.

So what's it going to look like? Apple must {walk a fine line}, one that brings innovation yet doesn't dramatically change the interface and put off its legions of faithful Apple customers. Design chief Jony Ive will likely push for a flatter, cleaner, minimalist design without the skeuomorphic elements—the stuff that tries to replicate a real-world feeling, like wood on the iBook shelves.
