This year’s WWDC keynote revealed both the next generation in Apple’s mobile operating system and their change of name re-track of their desktop-based OS X. With iOS 7, Jony Ive’s look and feel are rather apparent with a top-to-bottom adjustment to the operating system along with some pointed connections to the desktop side of things.

While iOS 7 wont be available for the public until later this fall, Apple has made it clear that the system will be delivered to developers starting today.

Amongst the significant changes and feature enhancements we’ve already seen on iOS 7, it appears that AirDrop will be featured in the new version of Apple’s mobile operating system. The file-sharing feature will be available on the iPhone 5, iPad 4th gen, iPad mini and 5th-gen iPod touch, but apparently nothing earlier than that. The peer-to-peer feature was briefly shown off at WWDC in the Control Center, and it means there is “no need to wander around the room bumping your phones.” We wonder if this means we shouldn’t expect any NFC capabilities in the next version of the iPhone or iPad, but it’s still a little too early to make that correlation.
Here’s Apple’s official statement on AirDrop for iOS7:
“AirDrop is an entirely new way to quickly and easily share content with people nearby. When you’ve got something you want to share, AirDrop shows you your contacts close by. Just select who you want to share with and AirDrop does the rest. AirDrop transfers are peer-to-peer so you can use it anywhere, without any network or set up required, and transfers are fully encrypted so your content is protected and private.”

Last year at around this time, it wasn’t exactly clear what Apple would be revealing inside iOS 6. It wasn’t exactly a secret, either. Here on the eve of WWDC 2013, Apple has created a bit of an information vacuum surrounding their next-generation mobile operating system. Here’s what we know: we know iOS 7 will

WWDC is coming up quick, folks.

WWDC 2013: what you WON’T be seeing
Posted in: Today's ChiliStarting Monday, Apple’s 2013 iteration of their developers convention WWDC begins in San Francisco – and there’s a lot you’ll not be seeing. It’s not that there’ll be a lot of information under the skin and behind closed doors, that’s not what this is all about. Instead, it’s all about what’s still in the wings

Just days away from the start of the multi-day event, Apple has begun to decorate the Moscone Center West in San Francisco for its yearly developers conference WWDC.
