Apple let it be known that iOS 7 will be bringing on AirDrop to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for an extra bit of ease in sharing media between devices this week at WWDC 2013. This feature brings Apple mobile devices the same level of ease MacBook and other desktop systems were able to
Siri is getting an upgrade, with the new iOS 7 bringing an updated, more intelligent version of the digital personal assistant. The new Siri fits in with the reworked iOS 7 graphical design, of course, with a flexing, flowing speech ribbon running across the bottom of the screen when you’re speaking to the service. However,
We just got a look at the updates to Siri in iOS 7. There’s now a sound wave on the bottom of the voice-control feature, and you’ll have your choice of male or female versions — and Siri will be available in French and German, with more languages to come. And, as the headline above indicates, Siri now features integration with Twitter, Wikipedia and — get this — Bing. Eddy Cue also teased the next frontier for Apple’s voice control: iOS in the Car will integrate the latest mobile OS with an auto’s infotainment system, and Siri will help drivers pull up directions and more. Don’t get too excited, though, that feature isn’t coming until 2014.

Here at Apple’s WWDC 2013 keynote, the company is showing off its new and redesigned iOS 7, and a new feature to hit the updated version of iOS 7 is the addition of notification center on the lock screen, allowing users to manage their notifications without unlocking their device and swiping down the notification center.
A new version of iOS means a new Safari browser, and iOS 7 updates the mobile internet browser with a brand new interface and new features. The iOS 7 Safari is supposedly faster than any version of the app before, and also makes finding information from different sites and services more straightforward. There’s a unified
Apple has just unveiled what we all knew was coming, and that is iOS 7. It has been talked about for months, but this will signify the first major overhaul for iOS, and it looks beautiful. Apple’s only just begun sharing the details, but out of the gate the new unlock screen and “liveliness” of
This week at WWDC 2013, Apple has added a feature to their mobile operating system called “Control Center”. With iOS 7, Apple has introduced a brand new user interface, complete with updated icons, typsetting, and a user interface that’s refreshed from top to bottom. Control Center adds toggle switches to iOS 7. With Control Center,
As WWDC 2013 introduced iOS 7, Tim Cook made it clear that this would be the biggest change to the operating system since the introduction of the iPhone. This system update was introduced in kind by a video-based Tony Ive, lead industrial designer at Apple, the man that’d been put in charge of the user
We’ve read the rumors, we’ve seen the banners, and now it’s finally here. Live from the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Tim Cook has just taken the wraps off of the latest upgrade to Apple’s mobile operating system (after pumping up the crowd with some shimmering stats for the current OS, naturally), and as expected, the company’s maintained its familiar naming scheme, introducing the world to iOS 7. Cook called it the biggest change to the operating system since the introduction of the iPhone, bold words supported by new features and a new design that managed to get a visible gasp from the room full of developers when shown off in a promo video.
The new designs start on the lock screen, featuring a much thinner lettering. The icons have been redesigned and are flatter as expected. The company’s also updated the typography and added new animation and transparency for images. The design goes edge to edge on the display, taking more advance of real estate. The Desktop moves as you do, creating “a new experience of depth.” The company only focused on design during the intro video, but that was certainly enough to get the crowd excited.
