Lot of cool stuff new IOS 7. (Read below)
'Biggest Change Since the Original iPhone'
Apple iOS 7 is in beta at the moment but this will all change tomorrow when Apple announces its release date for the public to install, for some this new operating system worked from the ground up will shock a few at first because it is completely different to what users are used to with iOS 6. There were rumors iOS 7 beta 7 was going to release in August, but now it seems a public release is going to be next after the September 10th Apple event.
The App Store growth has slowed down a little when it comes to applications being submitted since iOS 7 beta was released, but this is understandable considering app developers are prepping new ones so that they are ready for the public release of iOS 7. Apple’s new operating system has had an overhaul and nothing like what we are all used to, if you are used to iOS 6 and do not want to change what you know best then it would be in your best interest to steer clear of iOS 7, we personally believe it is the best looking iOS to date. Yes, it has had its problems since it was released to developers but we have to remember it is beta teething problems and all will run smoothly when it is released to the general public.
93% of Apple devices has iOS 6 running but this will change when iOS 7 is out there, there have been some amazing changes with this new operating system and consumers will learn that app updates will be done automatically saving valuable time doing it themselves, we love the fact manual has become automatic.
The overall experience will be noticeable when iOS 7 is installed, new icons, new look, and the camera app has had major changes with some stunning new features added. . Straight from the lockscreen you can open the new Control Center, which includes access to the flashlight, clock, calculator, camera, flight mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, brightness, music controls, Airdrop, Airplay and so much more.
The list is huge when it comes to new iOS 7 features and we can see these shocking the public once released, at first some may dislike it because it is new, but stick with it because once consumers are used to it they will love it. Everything in life changes and sometimes it gets frustrating when you have to relearn how to use something new, upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7 will be a challenge to some.
Hopefully Tim Cook will reveal the public iOS 7 release date tomorrow, some have said it will be available soon after the event and the iPad getting the update sometime in October, but instead of speculating lets wait until tomorrow where all will be revealed
Simplicity is often equated with minimalism. Yet true simplicity is so much more than just the absence of clutter or the removal of decoration. It’s about offering up the right things, in the right place, right when you need them. It’s about bringing order to complexity. And it’s about making something that always seems to “just work.” When you pick something up for the first time and already know how to do the things you want to do, that’s simplicity.
It has a new structure, applied across the whole system, that brings clarity to the entire experience. The interface is purposely unobtrusive. Conspicuous ornamentation has been stripped away. Unnecessary bars and buttons have been removed. And in taking away design elements that don’t add value, suddenly there’s greater focus on what matters most: your content.
As rumored, iOS 7 has a less skeuomorphic look, with a more flat design and lots of whites tinged with color. That doesn't mean, however, that the new iOS is free from gradient or panache. Instead, it's a more modern take on what makes iOS iOS.
Control Center
New in iOS 7 is a Control Center. It's an area that can be activated from within any app that brings control to Wi-Fi, brightness and other frequently accessed settings.
From Control Center you can access a flashlight, start a song, toggle AirPlay and more.
Multitasking
iOS 7 will bring better multitasking and background processing to all apps. It will monitor which apps you use frequently to help determine which ones need more full-functioning multitasking. When apps send push notifications, for instance, the phone will know to start to give that app background processing so that it will work more quickly and intuitively.
Apple has taken a major cue from webOS (RIP) and added full-previews of running apps for multitasking. No more tiny icons!
Safari
Safari for iOS 7 has a new look and feel — more similar to Chrome on iOS, we must say — including a new tabbed view. It also integrates with iCloud Keychain for password management.
The unified search menu, which was removed with iOS 3.0, is back. There is also access to shared links and the reading list improvements shown off with OS X Mavericks.
Tabs are now 3D and fully integrated with iCloud tabs. Users are no longer limited to eight tabs (hooray) and tabs can be reordered or removed with a swipe.
AirDrop
Apple is bringing OS X's AirDrop to iOS. AirDrop will let users share photos or files peer-to-peer with other iOS users who are nearby. "No bumping required."
AirDrop will only work on iOS devices running the latest wireless chipsets, meaning the iPhone 5, fourth generation iPad, iPad mini, and the latest iPod touch.
Photos and Camera
The Camera and Photo apps received a major overhaul. Not only is it easier to manage large numbers of photographs, users can now create Shared Photostreams — think group albums — into which other users can post photos as well as share with others.
Users can also share video with iCloud Photostreams in iOS 7.
Visually, the app looks similar to the latest Flickr redesign, is less focused on 4 x 4 grids of thumbnails, and offers users a better look at their photographs.
Siri
Siri has a new look and a new voice. Users can choose between male and female voices for Siri. Siri is also getting smarter: It will now pull in data from Twitter, Wikipedia and Bing.
iOS in the Car
Apple is going to bring iOS to the dashboard of your car. Support for iOS in the car will be coming to Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, Chevy, Kia, Volvo, Acura and others.
New App Store
The App Store has a new design and will show apps that are popular nearby, as well as apps popular with your friends. The best part? Your apps now update automatically.
Music and iTunes Radio
The Music app gets the same visual overhaul as the rest of the system but the big feature with music and iOS 7 is iTunes Radio. Think of it as a hybrid between Pandora and Songza, built into iOS.
Users can listen to theme-centric playlists or stations ("Songs for summer") or listen to artist-centric stations. And, like Last.fm, iTunes Radio keeps track of all the stuff you listen to across iTunes, Apple TV and on iOS 7.
More
•Notification Sync
•Audio-only Facetime
•Weibo Integration in China
•Per-app VPN for Enterprise
Plus more than 1500 APIs, support for third-party game controllers, new multitasking APIs.
Apple is also introducing a feature called Activation Lock, which will prevent a thieves from activating your iPhone on another network unless they know your iCloud password.
