Apple showed off the new operative method for the moveable devices - the iPhone, the iPads and the iPod Hint. Named iOS 7, the new OS brings in a completely divergent person program. Tim Fix described this as the greatest iOS update since the begin of the iPhone. Out go the skeumorphic layout, and in comes the labourer layout with a completely new and crisper font. The focalise is on the "depth" perception at most parts of the program, and change overlays, same the Check Midpoint, run to interpret impact from the endeavour of the UI that is currently on the door.
The new OS will bring in a lot of new features, as well as tweak some existing ones to make them better.
iOS 7 will introduce the Control Centre.
This is essentially a bunch of settings that you can quickly access
anywhere in the UI by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Quick
settings like Airplane Mode, Brightness levels, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, music
playback etc. will be available.
The Notifications have been given
an overhaul as well, and the new Today feature gives you an at-a-glance
view of your day with a summary of the important details such as
weather, traffic, meetings and events. Notification Center is now
available from the Lock screen as well.
Multi-tasking has now been
extended to all apps that you may have on the device, and the visual
layout of how you manage switching between apps has also been given a
complete overhaul. The method of double tapping the home key to get to
the option remains the same.
The new Find My iPhone Activation Lock
feature that requires your Apple ID and password before you can turn
off Find My iPhone, erase data or re-activate a device after it’s been
remotely erased. This is to make the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch less
enticing to steal!
FaceTime gets the audio
calls feature, allowing users to make voice only calls over the service,
on Wi-Fi or a mobile service provider’s data connection.
The new Notification Centre comes with Notification Sync,
which will sync your interaction with every notification across all
devices. You don’t need to repeat the same action across all devices
now.
SIRI has been given some love as
well. The female voice has been changed, and a male voice has also been
added. There is now the language option as well, with German and French
being two examples. SIRI now has Twitter integration, and will pull
search results to show what people are saying. For the web based
searches, Bing continues to be the engine.
The Music app on iOS 7 has been given a complete overhaul. The most important change is the addition of the new iTunes Radio, a free Internet radio service featuring over 200 stations and music from the iTunes Store.
