iOS7: What’s hot? What’s not?

iOS 7 is now available to download, Apple claims there are over 200 new features in its new iOS7. iOS 7 introduces new features like Control Centre, AirDrop for iOS and smarter multitasking. It makes the things you do every day even easier, faster and more enjoyable. And while many of the apps look different, the way you do things feels perfectly familiar. So from day one, you know how to use iOS 7.

We at PrePayMania did a thorough research on the OS and we bring to you “What’s hot and what’s not” about iOS7.

What’s hot?

Multitasking has improved- Of course you have heard it. Double tapping on the home button no longer gives you the tray with the applications opened; now when you double tap on the home button it gives a full screen, thumb nail view of all the recent apps.

Control Center is one of the biggest feature additions to iOS7. It’s a drop down feature that gives the access to almost all other features of your device. Users can now enable Airplay mode, WI-FI, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and the screen orientation lock from Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

Siri can now pull information from Wikipedia and display the recent tweets from a specific account with simplified commands. Performance has been improved in some areas, with Siri detecting inquiries faster. Siri has a new male and female voice as well.

AirDrop allows users to directly connect with other devices and transfer files wirelessly. A feature which was missing from iOS since ages.

Facetime is available for voice-only also. It would not only be easy to connect but would also eat up less data.

Camera was never so easier to use. With just one touch you can toggle between camera, video and panorama features.

Photos app No need to mess up your photos now. Photos will be stored according to the time and place they were clicked. They will be stored in albums and you can tap on years and you will be able to see photos of that year.

What’s not?

Sharing is not caring for Apple. It’s OK when it comes to share photos on social networking sites. Apple is very less friendlier when you want to share data with other devices.

Battery life We’ve heard that iOS7 is hitting hard on the battery life for most of its devices. We will only have to wait for it for the news to get confirmed.

Verdict

Even though there is a lot of scope for improvement, we won’t deny the fact that this OS is the biggest overhaul ever by Apple.
