iOS 7 is headed by Senior VP of Design and Human Interaction, Sir Jonathan Ive. He is credited for designing many of the most popular devices by Apple.
Jony Ive has completely changed the design of iOS. The new design seems to be flatter compared to the previous version with some new features. Now, by sliding up from the home screen, you can access all the toggles, example WIFI, Bluetooth, brightness, music etc. Also, now all apps can run at the same time, which means better multi-tasking. Also, the new version comes with an enhanced notification centre and all Apple app icons have been redesigned. Siri has also got a radically different look and so have some other apps. Apple has also improved the integration of FaceBook and Twitter across all of its apps. The iconic "Slide To Unlock" is still there but is part of an entirely new lock screen.
Apple had set out to create a completely new OS, yet keep it the same and I think they have done a fantastic job of it. A lot of Apple's apps now look a bit like the Windows Phone apps. A lot of details have been perfected. iOS 7 will be available for the iPad 2, the new iPad (iPad3), the iPad with retina Display (iPad 4), the iPad mini, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. But before you get too excited, you will only be able to download some time is August. I just can't wait to get my hands on it, in the mean time, check out this video on Apple's website. I'll see you next time!
