Apple has kicked off the fall event and like we often see in the beginning, there was some talk in regards to numbers. Those were quickly run through and talk of iOS 7 began. In this case, it was said that Apple has “been working hard on completing iOS 7.” And perhaps key here, that […]
It was back during WWDC 2013 when Apple announced the biggest change to iOS since the iPhone was first introduced in iOS 7. During the event, Apple highlighted many of the changes that would be made to iOS 7, which included a flatter design, an improved UI and a number of additional features. One thing Apple didn’t announce at the time was when exactly iOS 7 would be made available across iOS devices, but during today’s event, the company revealed when exactly you should be getting the iOS goodness.

At their event this morning in Cupertino, Apple’s Craig Federighi announced that iOS 7 will be available to everyone beginning on September 18th. iOS 7 was first announced back at WWDC in June, and has spent the last three months in a developer-only (wink, wink) Beta testing mode.
As expected, the update will be available for the iPhone 4 and later, the iPad 2 and later, the iPad mini, and the 5th gen iPod touch.
“Since we make updates easy, and available to as many customers as possible,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said. “iOS 7 will quickly become the world’s most popular mobile operating system.”
Those are some bold words, considering how dramatic a shift iOS 7 is away from the norm. If you’ve somehow missed it, iOS 7 is a pretty massive departure from iOS’ past iterations. Almost every core visual of the OS — from the icons, to the typography, to the overall style itself — has been changed, moving from the look we’ve grown accustomed to over the past 6 years to something quite different. Gone are the gradients, the drop shadows, and the heavy use of texture; instead, iOS 7′s design language focuses on a degree of minimalism, with a focus on bold color and simple lines.
They’ve been some very divisive changes, so it’ll be interesting to see how the general public will react to Apple’s new mobile software direction — thankfully, we’ll only have a few days to wait before those first consumer impressions start trickling in. By now though, it’s hard to think of iOS 7 as anything but a known quantity — it’s been dissected and criticized and lambasted and adored ever since the first beta was released to developers earlier this year. Now that Apple has pulled back the curtains on the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, it’s time for iOS 7 to start making the rounds in earnest.
Sadly, Federighi’s iOS 7 segment didn’t offer up much in the way of new details — it was largely a recap of the stuff Apple talked up at WWDC a few months ago.
In case you’re not completely up to date on what Apple’s updated mobile operating brings to the table, we did a deeper look at everything that was new to iOS 7 back when the update was first announced.
There’s little doubt that Futuremark – folks responsible for creating the benchmarking app 3DMark – decided on syncing up the release of their gamer-aimed test with the release of Apple’s new iPhone (or iPhones). What you’ve got here is a set of two tests with lots and lots of variables, all of it already released […]
Tomorrow an Apple event will play host to the launch of what’s expected to be more than one new iPhone device as well as the formal public release of iOS 7. This mobile operating system update to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch device family was introduced earlier this year at Apple’s yearly developers conference […]
Tomorrow, Apple will introduce the world to two new iPhones. One will look almost exactly like the current iPhone, the other will look slightly different. Apple will sell millions of each type. And both will hardly matter at all compared to iOS 7.

Apple Day is almost here, and it’s sure to come with a batch of tech presents. We’ve even got a pretty good idea of what they’ll be. New iPhones, new colors, iOS 7 updates; here’s everything you can expect to see tomorrow:

We’re just a day or so away from the much-awaited Apple press event but we could still use a bit more leaked details about the rumored iPhone 5S. We are now getting a sneak peek at the phone’s hardware via leaked snapshots of what looks like marketing material for stores and carriers, confirming some of […]
Talk of new fingerprint scanning technology in the iPhone 5S may not be that far off the mark, with a new set of photos and some background from a biometric security expert lending weight to the chatter. The part photos were shared by Sonny Dickson, notorious for getting his hands on upstream Apple hardware and […]
