Apple have released iOS 7 beta for developers. So you want to download and install iOS 7 but dont have a developers account right? Well good news XPG , we have a tutorial for doing just that.
This tutorial will show you how to install iOS 7 beta without UDID.
Before you begin remember that once you upgrade to iOS 7 you cant downgrade! Ok with that out of the way, lets begin.
How To Install iOS 7 Without Developers Account:
Download the latest official iOS for your device This will be iOS 6.1.4 for iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1.4 for all other supported devices: iPhone, iPod, iPad and Firmware/Software
Download iOS 7 for your device
Connect your iPhone via USB and open iTunes. On restore hit the shift and left mouse click buttons down together this will allow you to manually search for the iOS you downloaded for iPhone 5 you would select iOS 6.1.4 for all other devices you would select iOS 6.1.3
Once the device has restored make sure to setup as new and that you get to the home screen.
Now on the Check for updates button hit shift and left mouse click down together this time you need to select iOS 7 for your device now when the device finishes updating it will be on iOS 7 activated.
Some of the changes are barely noticeable, while others may cause some initial confusion for longtime iOS users.
Apple unveiled some pretty dramatic changes to iOS 7 on Monday and while the blogosphere is arguing over the big design changes it’s bringing (and where they came from), there are a lot more subtle tweaks Apple made that the company did not call out during the keynote.
Some of the changes (where’d Spotlight search go?!) will likely cause some initial confusion for longtime iOS users. Others are ones we’ve been hoping would eventually arrive. But there are also plenty of things Apple changed that were small, but necessary. Here’s a pretty exhaustive list of those alterations.
General changes
Spotlight search is no longer in its own page on the far left in Springboard. Instead, you can swipe down on any homescreen to bring down a search field.
The blue arrow used to indicate more options in iOS 6 has been replaced with a blue “i” within a circle. Most people I know aren’t aware of the blue arrow or what it’s for, so this is a welcome change.
The buttons for tweeting and posting to Facebook have been removed from Notification Center.
Movies and TV shows you’ve purchased from iTunes now appear in the Videos app, though streaming isn’t allowed; you have to download them.
There’s a new pull-to-refresh animation that looks like the more traditional Apple loading animation, rather than the odd stretching circle from iOS 6.
Scroll bars are thinner than in iOS 6, by about half, and are a slightly lighter color.
You can search for an event in Calendar.
The magnifying glass that appears when you hover over text has been simplified. The border around it is smaller, and the gloss is gone in favor of a subtle shadow around the top edge.
Game Center will tell you if it’s your turn on a game.
Double-clicking the home button while music is playing still shows the usual controls, but you can also seek now.
The Apple logo on the boot screen is flat, looking just like an Apple sticker.
The screen fades in and out when locking and unlocking.
Settings
Cellular settings have been moved out of the General section. It’s now located right below Bluetooth, so it should be easier to find.
You can control which apps use your cellular data and see how much data they’ve used so far.
Do Not Disturb has a new option that silences notifications and calls only when your device is locked, so you’ll still get them while you’re using it.
In the Privacy section, you can now control which apps have access to the microphone.
You can now block specific phone numbers in the Phone section.
Australian English and Mexican Spanish are now available as language options.
Safari
You can start a private browsing session right within Safari’s new tab screen, so you don’t have to go to Settings every time. You still have to convert your tabs to private tabs or throw them away, however.
iCloud tabs are accessed by scrolling to the bottom of the tabs screen.
Do Not Track can now be enabled in Settings, like it is in Apple’s desktop OS, Mountain Lion.
Mail
The first three messages in a conversation will be different colors, going from purple to light blue to green. Replies after the first three are just green.
Emails that have been replied to show two arrows next to the title in the list view.
There’s a Mark All button that lets you mark all messages as unread or flagged. You still can’t select all, though.
There are new mailboxes for emails that have attachments, have been cc’d, or that are unread or flagged.
Messages
The “edit” button is gone, replaced by a “contact” button. You can still get to the edit interface by holding down on a message and choosing “more.”
The aforementioned “contact” button gives you the option to call or FaceTime the person you’re messaging. You can also see their contact sheet by hitting the “info” button.
Outgoing messages have a blue gradient that stretches across them.
Photos
One of the problems I pointed out previously with Photo Streams in iOS 6 is that only the person who created the stream can add photos to it. In iOS 7, Subscribers to your Photo Streams can now add their own photos, if you enable it. This makes it so you can have one Photo Stream for your entire family instead of one for each member.
The share sheet has been changed significantly. Sharing to a Photo Stream is done by hitting the iCloud icon. Selecting multiple photos can be done right from the share sheet as well. You can also share to Flickr now.
Photos zoom in or out when you view them or dismiss them in the Camera Roll.
Notes
You can create a new note within any other note.
The buttons to go to the next/previous note are gone.
The first line of the note no longer appears in the top bar.
The date and time the note was created are centered at the top, and the number of days since the note was created is gone.
Reminders
Navigating lists works like Passbook: all of them are displayed stacked on each other, and when you select a list, the others slide to the bottom.
You can change the color of list titles in Reminders to make it easier to recognize them.
Reminders are added by tapping on an empty row rather than hitting a “plus” button.
With the exception of the new Notes app, which I’m not yet certain I like, every other little change in iOS 7 is a definite improvement in my book.
However, iOS 7 is a major overhaul, so there’s bound to be more minor improvements that I missed. And most importantly, considering that this is technically beta software, whose final release isn’t scheduled until this fall, there are also bound to be even more changes in the meantime.
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.
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.
A lot of innovative ideas for iOS get introduced in the jailbreak community. Hackers and developers tinker around with Apple’s software and create new ways to access settings or multitask. And then Apple comes along and kills (or sherlocks) those ideas with its own take in a future iOS release. It happens every year without fail. 2013 and iOS 7 are no different.
Here are some popular jailbreak tweaks that Apple has rendered obsolete with iOS 7:
Auxo – killed by Control Center and multitasking
Auxo is one of the most popular iOS 6 jailbreak tweaks ever. It brought life to a boring and outdated app switcher. Not only can you see live previews of running apps, but system toggles are available for quickly accessing stuff like WiFi and Bluetooth. In iOS 7, Control Center now offers Settings toggles. While Control Center isn’t as customizable as Auxo’s toggle setup, it still erases the need for such a tweak in most people’s minds.
Multifl0w – killed by mulitasking
Multifl0w is an old but classic jailbreak tweak from iOS 4. It turned the app switcher into the interactive card layout that iOS 7 now uses. Apple could have also borrowed much of its implementation from webOS, but Multifl0w came first.
SBSettings – killed by Control Center
One of the most widely used, popular, and oldest jailbreak tweaks of all time has been laid to rest with iOS 7. SBSettings has been around forever providing jailbreakers quick access to Settings toggles. A programmable gesture summons SBSettings from the status bar. In iOS 7, Control Center offers nearly the same functionality.
DeepEnd – killed by parallax
One of the trippiest parts of iOS 7 is the 3D parallax effect that happens when you move your iPhone’s Home screen around in your hand. It creates this separate visual layer between app icons and the wallpaper. The result is a 3D allusion that provides some much needed depth in the flat world of iOS 7.
An old jailbreak tweak called DeepEnd has done this for ages. And a new tweak called 3DBoard also creates a very similar effect.
Clockify – killed by Clock app
This is a simple feature, but still worth noting. The Clock icon in iOS 7 now tells the real time. It’s no longer a static icon, like Weather. (For some reason Apple decided not to put live weather conditions in the iOS 7 Weather app. Maybe next time.)
Numerous jailbreak tweaks have offered live app icons in iOS for awhile. Clockify was one that animated the stock Clock icon.
UnlockFX – killed by lock animations
The animations in iOS 7 are… different. Unlocking and locking the device feels more superfluous. Jumping in and out of apps is more whimsical. It’s something you really have to use to understand.
And if you can’t get your hands on iOS 7 yet, then try UnlockFX on a jailbroken iPhone running iOS 6. Because you can create pretty much the same experience.
With iOS 7 having been unveiled at Monday’s WWDC 2013 keynote, jailbreakers must now try to decide if they want to keep their older firmware with their jailbreak, precious jailbreak tweaks, and themes or upgrade to the latest and greatest operating system for iOS devices when it officially comes out in the Fall of this year.
iOS 7 has taken a lot of ideas from the jailbreak community, such as toggles, animated wallpapers, Notification Center on the lock screen, improved interfaces, blocking texters and callers, multitasking application previews, and many more. Many people will be quick to jump into the new operating system when it's released because it takes many of these highly-demanded features and integrates them into the firmware stock.
One thing to bear in mind is that a jailbreak is about more than just some fancy toggles here, and some new interfaces there. A jailbreak is more about having open access to the device’s filesystem, a precious luxury that gives the user more than just basic control over the device, but rather full control over the device. iOS 7 won't give you this feature. With that being said, you shouldn't be so quick to upgrade to the latest firmware if you treasure this luxury.
Apple’s latest and greatest iOS devices cannot have their firmware downgraded, so if you choose to upgrade you must be aware that there is no going back. You will be stuck at the firmware that you update to until hackers have a chance to create, test, and release a stable jailbreak for everyone. Unfortunately, like every major operating system release, we will need to wait a while for a jailbreak to be developed by iOS hackers.
Currently the evad3rs hacker team and iOS hacker p0sixninja have a stockpile of exploits ready, but there’s no guarantee that Apple hasn’t been paying attention and patching them in iOS 7, and there’s no guarantee that any open exploits won’t be sealed by the final release.
While iOS 5 and iOS 6 might not look as sharp as the new iOS 7 Apple unveiled Monday afternoon, many of the new features like toggles, multitasking previews, and camera filters can be duplicated with jailbreak tweaks in Cydia right now. There is also a good chance that the jailbreak community may try and develop tweaks that mimic additional iOS 7 functionality for iOS 6 users. So with that being said, we highly recommend you hold off on iOS 7 for now if you're a developer and hold off in the Fall when it's released to the public until a jailbreak can be released.
Are you planning to stick with your current jailbreak on iOS 5 or iOS 6, or are you going to upgrade to iOS 7 as soon as the software update is released in the Fall? Share in the comments!
Now just a few days away from WWDC, excitement among Apple fans is at its climax. From predictions to speculations to wish lists, we’re all trying to chime in on what Apple might unveil on Monday, and more specifically, what iOS 7 will hold for us.
There are a few details that appear to be set in stone. Namely, iOS is believed to have been flattened by design guru Jony Ive and his collaborators. Besides the visual make over, we’re certain that iOS 7 will also bring new feature to the table, and if history gives us any hindsight, Apple’s new mobile operating system might draw some inspiration from the jailbreak communityonce again.
In this post, I will detail a few features from various jailbreak tweaks that Apple shouldcould implement in iOS 7…
Quick Reply
Let’s start with the obvious, shall we? Quick Reply for messages is a feature that has been long overdue. Why I have to go into the Messages app every single time I receive a text is something beyond my understanding. It did make sense 5 years ago, but in this day and age where messaging is the primary mean of electronic communication, it’s almost ridiculous that Apple won’t let us send a Quick Reply to a message received without first closing whatever we are doing on our iOS device.
Of course, the best implementation of a Quick Reply feature comes from biteSMS, a tweak that is always featured in our lists of best jailbreak tweaks. BiteSMS has quickly become a staple for jailbreakers who want to be able to not only quickly compose messages from anywhere, but also be able to reply to messages without leaving the screen they’re currently on.
A Quick Reply reply feature isn’t too much asking and I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple finally graced us with this basic feature.
Gestures
Something I love about my iPad is that I can perform some simple tasks just by doing gestures with my hands on the screen. iPad gestures let me for example reveal the app switcher, close an app, or even switch to the next app in my app switcher – all this without much effort from my hand.
This being said, why am I not able to enjoy gestures on my stock iPhone? I understand some of the limitation: the screen is smaller and you usually operate your iPhone with one hand, versus using both hands on an iPad, so most iPad gestures wouldn’t work for the iPhone.
But this limitation could actually be used as an asset by introducing some simple “thumb gestures” that would be tailored to the iPhone’s one-handed usage. A great tweak that comes to mind to illustrate what kind of gestures Apple could implement in iOS 7 for iPhone is Ryan Petrich’s SwipeBack.SwipeBack is a jailbreak tweak from Ryan Petrich that allows you to navigate back within apps using a simple swipe from left to right. This is particularly handy in the Settings app for example.
Of course, you can’t mention gestures without mentioning Zephyr, which is arguably one of the best jailbreak tweaks ever released – I know it’s in my personal top 5. To be honest though, I don’t think something like Zephyr could make its way to iOS anytime soon. The main reason why is that Zephyr is a somewhat complex tweak with many limitations. Those limitations is that, if not properly fined tuned in the Settings section, Zephyr can become a real pain in the butt when used on certain apps requiring heavy usage of the fingers (ie. games, photo editing apps). Of course, everything can be adjusted in the Settings app, but Apple would never want to sacrifice simplicity for usability.
This being said, I believe it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to agree that Apple could surprise us with some new gestures which could be inspired by both SwipeBack and Zephyr.
App Switching / Multitasking
App switching on iOS is one of those features that is ready for a good makeover. There has been no shortage of app switching jailbreak tweaks over the years. Obviously, the one that comes to mind is Auxo, a tweak that has gained an incredible amount of publicity since its release, and which recently launched on the iPad.
If you follow my infrequent writing at iDB, you know I’m not a big fan of Auxo for iPhone, although I must admit the iPad version fits my needs better, mainly because it displays bigger app icons in the switcher.
No matter what you think of Auxo, you can’t argue that it is an original take on the app switcher and multitasking altogether. But is it something Apple would implement in iOS 7? I don’t think so. I do think Apple is coming up with a better app switcher and a better way to multitask, but I don’t think an Auxo copycat is this answer.
There are still incredible amounts of screen real estate that aren’t used by Auxo. Eighty percent of the screen is actually left unused, and this is where the room for improvement really is. If Apple is to rethink the app switcher in iOS 7, they might be inspired by Auxo, but they will likely take it to the next level by taking advantage of the full iOS device screen.
Quick System Toggles Access
Settings > Bluetooth > On. It takes me three steps to turn Bluetooth On. Three steps isn’t the end of the world, you might think, but it’s still more than I’d like to take. Some jailbreak tweaks have fixed this issue for a long time.SBSettings was probably the first one in the genre, but some new tweaks have recently entered the game.
NCSettings is probably the best example.NCSettings is a free jailbreak tweak that adds an SBSettings-inspired set of system toggles to Notification Center. The tweak allows you to pull down Notification Center and have access to an array of system toggles, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Tethering, etc…
I find it very plausible that when Apple unveils iOS 7 on Monday, they will finally introduce this simple feature that has been expected by many iOS users for a long time, and which has been available on Android devices for just as long.
Quick system toggles access could easily be set up in the Settings app in the same way you can already set up the Weather, Facebook, and Twitter widgets.
Widgets
Widgets have been a hot topic for quite a while. Although I doubt Apple will soon introduce widgets similar to the ones that often take over an Android device’s screen, I wouldn’t be taken aback should Apple finally become a little more flexible with the widgets you can currently access on iOS.
At this time, and assuming you are running a stock iOS device, the only widgets you get to enjoy are the Weather, Stocks, and the “Share” Facebook & Twitter widgets. Quite limited, isn’t it?
For the past few months, I’ve been running Tap to Widgets on my jailbroken iPhone. Tap to Widgets is a jailbreak tweak that brings Reminders, Notes, and Calendar shortcuts to iOS’ Notification Center. Tap to Widgets allows you to easily add an item to any of these apps without having to fully open the app in question.
If Tap to Widgets only works with Notes, Calendars, Reminders, Twitter, and Facebook, it’s not much of a stretch to think Apple could implement its own version of the tweak and add more widgets for quick email or message compose.
Keyboard improvements
If you’ve done more than sending a quick email from your iOS device, you probably know how much of a pain it is to actually write a few hundred words. Sure the iPad keyboard is bigger and better than its iPhone counterpart for typing longer documents, but it’s still a massive inconvenience, hence the success of keyboard accessories.
There are a few jailbreak tweaks out there that are trying to make typing and editing text on an iOS device easier, and SwipeSelection is one that I’ve been using for a while now. While SwipeSelection doesn’t fix the typing problem, it definitely improves the text editing problem often encountered on iOS. SwipeSelection brings precision one-finger editing, faster two-finger editing, and selection capability by means of tapping the Shift key prior to dragging a finger.
You really have to see it in action to get a good understanding of how helpful SwipeSelection is.
But who knows, maybe Apple won’t even have to fix the problem themselves if they choose to open up the keyboard API to third party developers.
Call and Message Blocking
How many times have you received unwanted phone calls or messages from people you didn’t even know and wished for an easy way to prevent them from ever being able to reach you?
Jailbreak users have a nice app that does a great job at blocking unwanted messages, phone and FaceTime calls. It’s called iBlackList, and as the name suggests, it allows you to easily block anyone from reaching you. Simply enter their email address or phone number, and you’re pretty much done. The app goes as far as letting you block anyone that isn’t in your Contacts.
With the introduction of Messages and FaceTime, which use an email address as user ID, it makes it very easy for anyone to actually get ahold you and send you unwanted messages. When you receive an unwanted email, you can simply mark it as spam, and chances are your email provider will remember your action and send all future correspondence directly into the Spam folder so you never have to see it again. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this with phone calls, messages, or FaceTime calls on iOS – unless you have iBlackList of course.
It may not come with iOS 7, but I do believe Apple will have to address this in the future.
What do you think?
I believe all these features are quite reasonable, and it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to think Apple could indeed implement some of them in iOS 7. This is part prediction, part wish list, but no matter what Apple unveils on Monday, the jailbreak community will still be there to provide iOS users with features that Apple won’t implement. This is why we jailbreak!
Now let me ask you: what jailbreak tweak features do you think Apple could implement in iOS 7?
While Apple's new operating system isn't yet ready for the public, developers are discovering a host of new features that includes zoom while video shooting.
The new look of Apple's iOS 7.
James Martin/CNET
As users wait for Apple's new iOS 7 to come out of beta, developers are learning all of the ins-and-outs that the upcoming operating system will have to offer. The use of camera zoom controls while recording video is the latest feature said to be discovered.
According to iDownloadBlog, users will reportedly be able to zoom in and out by using the pinch gesture while shooting video. Most likely, there will also be a zoom slider at the bottom of the screen -- like when using the camera in iOS 6. Apparently, users will also supposedly be able to tap-to-focus on various objects while recording video.
When Apple announced the debut of iOS 7 at WWDC on Monday, it heralded many of the operating system's new features, but it also left out some details. Over the last few days, developers have beenposting various tricks and updates that will reportedly come with the new operating system.
For iOS 7, Apple said it dramatically redesigned the look and feel of the user interface. Everything has been revamped, the company said, including icons, buttons, and color schemes. The screen is said to take on a 3D appearance and will have a swipe feature at the bottom of the device for quick access to brightness, volume, airplane mode, Bluetooth, do not disturb, and flashlight.
The company also seems to be putting anemphasis on enhancing its photo app and camera capabilities. With iOS 7, Apple is introducing iPhoto-like groupings to make it faster and easier to surface pictures and movies. And, for the camera, iOS 7 will let users swipe through still, video, andpanorama options, along with different filters and format sizes.
An initial beta of iOS 7 was released to developers Monday, in what is expected to be the first of several ahead of its release. Apple has not provided an exact date for its release, short of this fall, when the company is also expected to introduce its next iPhone. There are still no versions of iOS 7 available for iPads, just the iPhone and latest-generation iPod Touch.
Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, Apple unveiled the latest iteration of its mobile operating system. As expected, iOS 7 features a major design overhaul that removes many of the skeuomorphic elements found in previous versions of iOS, instead favoring a clean and gloss-less "flat" look. Demos of all of the apps can be found on Apple's iOS 7 website.
iOS 7's Control Center, Notification Center, and Multitasking
"It's the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone," said Tim Cook. "It has a whole new structure that is coherent and that is applied across the entire system," said Jony Ive in a video showing off the new operating system. "We've considered the tiniest details like refining the typography to much larger ones like redesigning all the icons."
Design iOS 7 features an entirely new color scheme, with translucency, to "create a sense of depth and vitality." The design is significantly different from before, with all new multitasking screens and a totally redesigned interface. The icons are "flat," as expected, with bright new colors. Apps like Game Center have been entirely overhauled, with the removal of the felt and wood elements in favor of a design that relies heavily on black and white with colored accents.
iOS 7 incorporates new motion tracking capabilities. As the device is moved in the hand, it actually tracks motion and the screen moves, which carries over across the system.
On the stage, Federighi demoed the new dynamic weather app, which incorporates some live weather elements. For example, if it is raining outside, the app will show rain. The weather app uses an all new font. Like the Weather app, the Calendar also features a minimalistic new design.
Mail, Weather, and Messages
Messages has seen a major overhaul, with a blue and white interface that's removed the gloss from the chat bubbles. Swiping on the screen in messages allows users to go from individual messages to a messages overview. Mail has the same no-frills interface, focusing on text and photos. It incorporates full screen photos.
Notification Center Notification Center looks entirely different as well, with new daily overviews that let users know about new mail, missed calls, to-dos, and more. Notification Center can be accessed from any screen, including the Lock Screen, with a downwards swipe. Notifications also now sync between devices, so clearing a notification on an iPhone will also clear it from a paired iPad or Mac, for example.
Control Center Control Center offers new preference controls. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (including the lockscreen) to find quick access to preferences. It has switches that allow users to access Wi-Fi, turn on Airplane Mode, toggle Do Not Disturb, adjust brightness, and control music, among other things. The Control Center also offers an all new flashlight functionality.
Multitasking iOS 7 offers up a smarter way to multitask. When users tap the home button twice, it will display preview screens of apps that are open. Unlike before, the screens are previews of actual apps rather than just a small app icon. iOS 7 incorporates a learning algorithm that takes note of when users utilize certain apps and keeps those up to date with new content before they are launched. So, for example, if someone wakes up and checks Facebook, iOS 7 will learn that behavior and have Facebook updates ready to go in the background before the app is opened. The new mobile OS also uses intelligently scheduled updates and will update during power efficient times. For example, when the device is connected to WiFi. It's also able to respond to push notifications, updating apps that send out notifications.
Safari Safari will get a number of improvements in iOS 7, including a new full screen look and a smart search field. With this field, there's one tap access to favorites, and it also has a new tabbed interface along with parental controls and iCloud keychain integration. The new Safari eliminates the eight browser tab limit and tabs can now be closed with a quick sideways swipe. Safari also has a new view that displays URLs from a user's Twitter timeline and Reading List has received some performance enhancements. Safari incorporates the new iCloud Keychain functionality, remembering account names, passwords, and credit card numbers, as well as generating unique, hard-to-guess passwords.
AirDrop AirDrop will be included with iOS 7, making it easier for users to share photos, videos, contacts, and other content with other iPhone owners. This is system wide and can be used with any app that supports the API. Simply tapping the new "Share" will allow users to connect via WiFi or Bluetooth. Recipients can choose to save what is sent, and saved items will be saved in appropriate locations. For example, a shared contact ends up in the Contacts app, while a shared photo ends up in the Photos app. It will be available on Apple's newest devices, including the iPhone 5 and the fourth generation iPad, as well as the iPad mini.
iTunes Radio, Photos, and AirDrop
Camera iOS 7 introduces a redesigned camera app that includes photo filters, and incorporates a new "square" capture mode. There are now a total of four camera modes, including Video, Panorama, Still, and Square. The Photos app has been redesigned as well, offering an improved photo organization system. iOS knows when and where photos were taken and this information is used to organize photos into folders called "Moments." iCloud Photo Sharing has also been enhanced, allowing users to have fully shared photo streams that include both photos and videos.
Siri Siri has been given a "gorgeous" new interface along with new voice options that include a male voice and voices for the French and German languages, with support for additional languages to come in the future. Siri has also gotten smarter, so it can now perform tasks like turning on Bluetooth or increasing device brightness, as well as playing voicemails and controlling iTunes Radio. New services have been integrated with Siri, such as web search results from Bing, Twitter, and Wikipedia.
Camera, Safari, and Siri
iOS in the Car iOS 7 is designed to provide enhanced integration with in-dash systems, displaying iOS on in-car monitors to make calls, get messages, and more. Vehicles that are equipped with iOS in the Car can connect to the iPhone 5 and interact with it using the car's built-in display.
App Store The App Store has been entirely redesigned with the same black and white look featured in many of the apps in iOS 7. It is now easier to find apps than ever before. "Apps Near Me" allows users to find the apps that are in use nearby, and there are also new discovery tools for parents and children. The App Store will now update apps automatically, doing away with manual updates. Music, too, has been updated with support for iTunes Radio, Apple's new streaming music service. iTunes Radio is free, ad-supported (ad-free for iTunes Match subscribers), and available on iOS, Apple TV, and the Mac.
Activation Lock Activation Lock is designed to be a theft deterrent. It adds a new feature that requires an Apple ID and password to access and turn off Find My iPhone or to wipe a device. That means if a device is stolen and a thief tries to wipe it, the phone will not be able to be reactivated without its accompanying iCloud login. Even after a device is erased, Find my iPhone will continue to display a custom message.
APIs The SDK includes more than 1500 new APIs, including AirDrop support, iBeacons, MFi Game Controllers, UI Dynamics, New Multitasking APIs, SpriteKit, Barcode Scanning, and more.
iOS 7 is available for developers today on the iPhone, with iPad support coming at a later date. iOS 7 will be available for consumers this fall.
The iOS 7 beta is only a week old and already users are discovering hidden features and settings menus in iOS 7 that show off some features Apple was testing and could possibly bring to a future iOS 7 beta or iOS 7 release.
Twitter user Hamza Snood shares the options on his Twitter feed, which9to5Mac shares in a video highlighting the hidden iOS 7 beta features.
Hidden iOS 7 features include multitasking gestures and nested folders.
The most impressive feature is the ability to pick from new gestures that could unlock new ways to use the iPhone. Apple already made a back swipe from the left edge of the phone a standard back function in iOS 7, but from the looks of these screenshots they are experimenting with other gesture controls in iOS 7.
Edge swipe
Corner swipe
Edge press and hold
These options could make it easier to perform multitasking without a double tap of the home button. This isn’t a sign that Apple is preparing for an iPhone 6 with no hom button, but it could point to Apple reducing the need to reach to the home button which would fit thegroundwork that iOS 7 lays for a larger display on the iPhone 6.
These new control options could allow users to swipe in from the right edge, to leave the left swipe accessible. The top and bottom edges are out, considering the Control Center and Notification Center.
Multi Output Voltages Selectable High Capacity, Slim Design
The video below walks through some of these hidden iOS 7 features, though it doesn’t show them in use on the iPhone itself. Like the previous iOS for iPad screenshots these secret iOS 7 features are only accessible with some trickery.
Apple is also working on support for nested folders in iOS 7, this comes in addition to the new folders feature that lets users scroll through a list of apps on the new folders. While not everyone will want to nest folders, users with a huge library of apps might want a single folder for games on the main screen that expands into folders for strategy, board games, RPGs, action, racing and more.
A set of secret iOS 7 settings show what Apple is testing for iOS.
The folder options settings also include the ability to pinch to close a set of folders, saving additional wear on the home button and letting users do one more thing on a larger screen where fingers are farther from a home button.
Apple iOS betas often include settings like this which are not accessible to the end-user, even those running the iOS 7 beta on the iPhone 5 or iPod touch won’t be able to access these screens. We may not see these features come to life in iOS 7, but it is evident of user interface designs Apple is experimenting with.
Apple announced iOS 7 on June 10th and offers an iOS 7 beta to developers. Users can also try the iOS 7 beta by opting in to the developer program or a reseller, but the iOS 7 beta is not designed to run on the iPhone you use every day because it is not finished software.
