Apple Introducing iOS 7 - Official Video

Whats New in IOS7 have a look:-

App Launcher & Lock-screen:-

The Icon feel remains unchanged, but the icons have been flattened, fake reflective overlay removed, and a different system font is introduced.

Safari:-

No longer limited to 8 pages, with a fresh new tab switching UI and unified search field. Other features are brought across from the new version of OS X, such as iCloud-based password management and social integration for easy access to links that have been shared with you.

Control Center & AirDrop:-

A new bottom drawer offers quick access controls for music, brightness, camera, a calculator and flashlight, among other things including the new AirDrop functionality which has existed in Apple’s OS X for a long time now.

Photos & Camera:-

Perhaps one of the biggest features for consumers who tend to fill their phone with hundreds of snapshots. The standard grid of photos is getting a smart organisation features that groups things into individual events (excuse me – “moments”) and locations at the macro level, intelligently grouping those further when you pinch to zoom out, and finally showing you every photo in the year.

Multitasking:-

While icons at the bottom of the screen in the traditional app-switcher tray are still clear and present, apps now have preview screens similar to Android that you can flick upward to close, a welcome change from the “tap and hold” gesture used to kill a background process or unresponsive app.

Previously, apps would need to subscribe to push events or would be essentially paused when not in focus (except for apps that involved music streaming). Now, a background task agent will try to intelligently schedule updates when you need them: if you regularly check your RSS feeds at 7am, they’ll be updated before you bring the app to focus, so you don’t need to sit and wait while it syncs.

iTunes Radio

Finally, the rumoured iTunes Radio takes to the stage for a US-only debut. The service will be supported with advertising unless users pay for iTunes Match. The service is Apple’s own streaming radio, anyone familiar with Spotify should understand the concept. Listen to specific genres, mark favourites then find songs you should also like – it’s nothing groundbreaking, but you’ll now have deep integration with other Apple services, and Siri.

Find My iPhone and Activation Locks

Perhaps one of the most underestimated new features are upgrades to the already quite fantastic Find My iPhone service. Currently, using the “erase data” option is a final resort – your phone becomes untraceable after, so it’s only useful to protect sensitive data. In iOS7, you will be able to continue displaying a message like “this phone has been lost, call 000″,though it’s not yet clear if GPS tracking will continue to function. In addition, you can add an activation lock, tied to your iCloud account – so that even if the thief removes the SIM card and formats everything, your iPhone will still require authenticating to activate, essentially rendering the phone useless for the thief.
