iOS 7 Release Review: Download Means Big Changes, Worth While Upgrade for iPhone Users [VIDEO]
The Release of iOS 7 brings a whole slew of changes to Apple's signature iPhone layout. iPhone users can expect the download to change the aesthetics significantly, making changes such as new icons, a new, tidier keyboard, and translucent menus. The appearance updates are easily adaptable to the average iPhone user because they are intuitive changes that make sense.
The real upgrade that iPhone users can look forward to with the release of iOS 7 is the seamless marriage of hardware and software. Additions, such as the new "swipe up" control center, put the user in complete control of many important functions at the simple touch of a button. There are shortcuts to wifi, volume, brightness, Bluetooth, flashlight, calculator and time that make this feature one of the most important. Go ahead and delete your third party app flashlights!
The multitasking feature is also slightly easier to use. No more double tapping and then clicking every single tiny X that pops up on the open apps. You simply double tap and swipe away all of the open apps to close them. Unfortunately, there is no "kill all" button to close every app simultaneously, but this system is a huge improvement from iOS 6.
Finally, all of Apple's core apps that come standard on the iPhone have been touched up for iOS 7. The camera is more functional and sleeker and the clock is much more intuitive. Apple's calling card is the functionality of the simple apps and iOS 7 does not disappoint. Take a look at this video detailing all of the new features in iOS 7!
