Apple’s updated mobile OS, Apple iOS 7, will be available to download from tomorrow, the 18th of September. Apple has yet to give a specific time on when iOS 7 will be available.
Apple will be releasing iOS 7 for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad tomorrow. The new version of their mobile OS gets a complete new look, with a new UI and icons.
New Features in iOS 7
As well as the new look, Apple iOS 7 comes with a total of over 200 new features. These features include improved multitasking, a revamped Notification Center, and a new Control Center that provides quick access to commonly used settings and apps. The multitasking feature has been enhanced to allow users to switch between apps more efficiently, and it now includes a preview of the apps you have open.
The Notification Center has been redesigned to provide more information at a glance, including a new “Today” view that gives you a summary of your day, including weather, calendar events, and more. The Control Center is a new addition that can be accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, giving you quick access to settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Do Not Disturb, as well as apps like the flashlight, timer, and camera.
Enhanced User Experience
iOS 7 also introduces AirDrop, a new way to share content with other iOS users nearby. With AirDrop, you can quickly and easily share photos, videos, contacts, and other files with just a few taps. This feature uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer connection, ensuring that your data is transferred securely.
Another significant addition is the new Photos app, which organizes your photos into Moments, Collections, and Years, making it easier to browse and find specific photos. The app also includes new editing tools that allow you to enhance your photos with just a few taps.
Siri, Apple’s voice-activated assistant, has also received an update in iOS 7. Siri now has a new, more natural-sounding voice and can perform more tasks, such as controlling settings and searching for information on Twitter and Wikipedia. Additionally, Siri can now be integrated with third-party apps, allowing for even more functionality.
The App Store has been improved with a new feature called “Apps Near Me,” which shows you popular apps based on your current location. This can be particularly useful when traveling or exploring new areas. The App Store also now updates apps automatically, so you no longer have to worry about manually updating your apps.
iOS 7 also includes improvements to Safari, Apple’s web browser. The new version of Safari features a redesigned interface, a new tab view, and improved performance. The new tab view allows you to see all your open tabs at a glance and easily switch between them. Safari also now includes a new Smart Search field that combines the search and address bars into one, making it easier to find what you’re looking for.
