Hasta La Gadget!

We swear, we won’t be giving you the blow-by-blow on every single app that gets updated for iOS 7 today, but this one seemed like a biggie. Amazon just announced that its Kindle reader for iOS has received a major redesign, with fonts, menus and other details retooled to match the flat, streamlined look of iOS 7. Additionally, version 4.0 of the app brings “Collections” to make it easier to categorize books, magazines or whatever else you’ve downloaded. Other than that, Amazon’s media alert is basically a recap of what the app does, so rather than rehash all that, let’s cut straight to the screenshots, shall we? You can find those below; we’ll just show ourselves out while you take a look.%Gallery-slideshow88696%

That’s right, the iOS 7 refresh of the save-for-later app formerly known as Read It Later is now available with hyphens. The seemingly miniscule dash addition (which automatically adds hyphens for a more refined justified layout) is part of a redesigned reading experience that also includes automatic syncing. With “Instant Sync,” the company promises that content saved on any device will automatically be pushed to the iOS app, meaning you won’t have to waste precious minutes of your life waiting for that study on the rejuvenating effects of video games to appear. The update also includes full-bleed images, a fullscreen article view and an increased focus on typography and font adjustments. For more, check out the source link below.

You’ve now had a few hours to digest our feelings on the iPhone 5s and 5c, but now it’s time to replicate the bulk of that experience on your existing Apple devices. iOS 7 is appearing as an available software in your settings panel now, or at least in the very near future. If you own an iPhone 5 / 4S / 4, an iPad 2/3/4, iPad Mini or the 5th generation iPod touch, then you’ll be entitled to witness Sir Jonathan’s first grand attempt at a UI revolution. Also, don’t forget that iTunes Radio will be making its big debut alongside the new operating system today, so at least you’ll have some smooth grooves to chill out to while your phone updates.

Yep, the iCloud facelift to look a lot more like iOS 7 is finally public now. The iOS 7-designed iCloud website was previously in beta but has now gone wide. This update comes the day before the launch of iOS 7.

With iOS 7 arriving tomorrow, Apple is extending some love to the owners of older iOS devices that have been left behind. New compatibility features, first spotted on Reddit, will now kick into action if you attempt to download an app that is not supported by your current firmware. Instead, the company now asks if you’d like to install the last compatible version, which, for some apps, can be over a year old. We’ve successfully installed an older version of Instagram to an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.3 and Twitter to an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1. Although Instagram was “out of date,” the last compatible version of Twitter (featured above) was version 4.3.2, and hit the App Store back on August 18th, 2012. If you’re feeling nostalgic and you’ve got an aging iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that could use a bit of exercise, Apple’s latest tweak might teach your old device some new tricks.
