Apple’s new iOS 7 mobile operating system will mean some big changes to users of Apple’s popular iPhones, based on the disclosures from the company at its Worldwide Developers Conference Monday in San Francisco.
- Apple Inc.
CEO Tim Cook called iOS 7 “The biggest change to iOS since the first iPhone.”
1. New iOS will bring a 3D-like effect to the phone’s home screen. Twisting it will move the icons relative to the wallpaper image.
2. Control Center comes with swipe up from the bottom. Easier to get to.
3. Multi-tasking for all apps coming with iOS 7.
4. Safari on iOS 7 tweaks multiple tabs appearance, similar to navigating albums on the iTunes app.
5. AirDrop – device-to-device content sharing.
6. Photos in iOS 7 are organized by “moment.”
7. Apple’s Siri voice assistant will now use Microsoft’s Bing search engine by default.
8. Automatic updates for apps – no more getting hit with the red bubbles.
9. Activation Lock – can only unlock an iPhone if you have the iCloud password. Could be a “major theft deterrent.”
10. New operating system will include iTunes Radio, a music-streaming service similar to Pandora’s P , with ad-supported music available automatically, as well as ad-free subscriptions to the iTunes Match service.
