During the WWDC 2013 in San Francisco, Apple released its latest, seventh installment of its operating system for mobile devices. iOS7 has a new look, new features and is the most serious modification of the platform so far.
What immediately strikes the eye is the new look of the interface. The place of glass glow took sweet, in my opinion, even a little too sugary colours. The intense colour of the new icons are not the end of change. An animated wallpaper is also a novelty, but for me the most important change is the Control Center - extending from the bottom of the screen panel that allows you to quickly switch the device modules, changing the screen brightness or volume. Apple has discovered the flashlight function, which previously had to be run from external applications. In turn, from the left side it will be able to extend the list of messages and application settings. We will say goodbye to the bar to unlock the screen. Now, you just move your finger at any point on the desktop, without aiming at the "Slide to unlock".

An important change is the improved multitasking. The system "learns" our behavior, the circumstances and the times in which we run individual applications, and then controls their work so that when we click on the icon we go to a currently running application with current data. Upon request, all applications will be updated automatically - without notification and forcing us to click on them. The changes also affected the Safari browser. In addition to spectacular viewing of the open tabs in a Cover Flow interface, you will get a full-screen mode, parental control and the ability to open an infinite number of cards. It is worth mentioning the new anti-theft security. Now, to disable "Find My iPhone", and to activate the remotely wiped phone you will need to know the login password used by the legitimate user. It does not protect it from losing your phone, but protects your data and makes a stolen iPhone useless.

There will be also artistic filters in the camera application, with support similar to Instagram. There will also be "instagram" image format – a square. In addition to the filters, there will be new cataloging of photos - by date or geolocation. Apple is also introducing Internet radio application. Users of Apple devices with the latest series will be pleased with the new feature AirDrop – which allows you to exchange files between devices. Finally... Owners of newer cars will in turn be able to connect a phone or a tablet with an on-board computer in a car. It will be possible to use Siri and view the system interface in a car display. This function will be available in many models of popular brands - but let's face it, it will have to be cars with top of the range equipment, usually large touch screens are available for an extra fee.

It's time for the most important thing: iOS 7 will be available in autumn, in the form of a normal system update. The new system will be available for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 and iPad 2 and newer versions and iPod Touch last generation. In addition to the new system, Apple presented the new look of Mac OSX, the new MacBook Air and Mac Pro - but I leave these issues to other news services...
