From there you just tap a friend's picture and iOS 7 uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to send your photo and the recipient can accept or decline. It also offers the option to make yourself invisible to nearby iOS 7 users from the Control Center. Sharing files with people nearby is nothing new and is even a feature Samsung has pointed out in television commercials as a reason to get a Galaxy phone. Camera and Photos apps Apple did a lot of work reorganizing both the camera app and how images live in the photo app.
The camera app surfaces all your shooting modes so you can swipe and then tap them to frame your shot, such as still, panorama, video, and a square, Instagram-like configuration.
The app also offers a basic burst mode in which you touch and hold the main button to take continuous shots from which to pick the best one later. A colorful button in the lower right will let you apply filters to the still or square shots. There are only nine filters to choose from, and you're not going to find any that are as drastic as what you see from third-party photo apps, but it's a nice way to quickly apply a filter.
In the Photos app, Apple drops the endless wall of photos from iOS 6 that you could only break out into albums. With iOS 7, Apple treats photos as moments in time organized around geotagged locations, not just chronology. This takes a cue from Apple's desktop iPhoto counterpart.
What it means is that your photos are categorized by year in a dense mosaic. You can touch and hold the screen to zoom into a picture from the group, then drag your finger to preview other photos. It's a neat trick, but it's probably more practical to tap the year, then drill down to dates and locations if you're looking for something specific. Now, to get the best shot possible, the Camera app adjusts for white balance and exposure immediately upon launching the app. It also has a burst mode that takes 10 frames per second while you continue to press the button.
And for action shots, there's a fps slow-motion camera, too. New in iOS 7. It's free and will be ad-free for iTunes Match users. In version 7. You could already do this by navigating to the My Stations section and touching the New button, but having it at the top of the main screen makes a lot more sense. While there's not much new in terms of capabilities here that popular third-party streaming radio apps like Pandora or iHeartRadio don't already have, it's nice to have it included as part of the iOS.
For those keeping score, Android doesn't have a built-in streaming-radio feature, and Windows Phone was the first of the bunch with included streaming-radio features. Siri matures Apple's favorite digital voice assistant gained some more personality in iOS 7. In fact, "she" has a brand-new voice; several, if you count the different accents and male and female versions added in iOS 7.
The male voice and other language choices clearly can answer all the same questions, but seem to sound a bit less robotic to me -- your experience may vary. A new sound wave animation appears at the bottom of the screen when you speak, and Siri's results come up in full screen, not just as a tiny card. We did notice that Siri is a little faster to respond to search queries in iOS 7, but Google Search still holds the speed record for voice search response time.
Another tweak that's new to iOS 7. When iOS 7 launched, you could touch and hold the home button and ask your question, then Siri would detect when you stopped talking to automatically look for an answer.
With 7. This is a welcome change because often you might be a loud area and more than just your question would be picked up by the microphone. Hopefully giving you the control over what Siri hears will help her to find your answers faster. By far the most substantial addition, and one that's truly useful, is that iOS 7's Siri can trigger actions on your phone's system settings, like playing a past voice mail, turning on Bluetooth, and increasing the brightness settings.
Many voice assistants can't do this, so it's nice that Apple has increased Siri's capabilities this way. You can also now ask Siri to search Wikipedia and Twitter. FaceTime audio The days of abandoning FaceTime every time you want to make a straight audio rather than video call from your iOS device are coming to a close.
The complexity of the "Settings" app alone also makes it quite evident that Apple hasn't yet come up with a good way organizing everything. The state of iOS 7 at release, with its glaring user interface inconsistencies and strange development decisions, also casts doubt on whether lead Apple designer Jony Ive is any better at steering the look and feel of iOS than Scott Forstall was before he was pushed out of the company.
It's also clear why we've had to wait over seven years for some basic features to be present of the iPhone — the problems related to consistency and complexity still haven't been figured out. While new features are welcomed, packaging them into a new user interface feels like change for the sake of change, and makes the user learning curve far steeper than it need be.
Developing a fully-featured mobile operating system that works on limited screen space isn't easy. Edited on September 19 at 12 midday ET: With corrections and additions.

The new icons look fresher and more modern, but no one can predict whether or not everyone will embrace them. Right now,iOS 6 makes you exit your app and open settings just to adjust some things, like the brightness of the screen, WiFi settings, or sounds.
With the new update comes the ability to swipe up from anywhere on your screen to open a settings hub whenever you want to adjust something on your phone. How many times have you had to text or email a photo or document to another person in the very same room? Whether the new version is better or worse is completely up to you. Probably the best feature of the new Safari is that iCloud will now remember your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers for you.
With bit AES encryption, that information is highly secure. We can safely deduct that the iOS 7 will be much easier to use, but not everyone will agree with the bare-boned design, and there seems to be some things Apple neglected to change. For example, the weather icon. The Verge finds it annoying that, despite the fact that the calendar icon displays the correct date and the clock icon is updated to show the current time, the weather icon remains unchanged.
As for now, we like iOS 7. There are multiple opinions about this update. Posting contributed articles about the major web design highlights and novelties.

All in all it was a much needed update BUT as a designer myself I think it generally seems ok but very unfinished.
Icons are too child-like, gradient on control centre is puke-worthy and safari looks terrible. What would be incredible is if Apple allowed some customisation to the UI so we can fix the ugly bits — but history shows, that will never happen. One speaker is at the bottom of the phone, as it has been, and the other is actually integrated into the earpiece. Apple says it needed to take out the headphone jack so it could make space for better cameras, the Taptic Engine even though the 6S also had a Taptic Engine , and perhaps most importantly, a bigger battery.
Apple ships a pair of its EarPods headphones with a Lightning connector in the box, as well as a Lightning-to Especially when the company is trying to get everyone to be enthusiastic about the move away from 3.
But here we are. Once you pair the AirPods with one Apple device, they can seamlessly switch to all the others, which is very cool. I asked Apple if Dr. Dre or Jimmy Iovine consulted on the sound or design of the AirPods and there was a lot of demurring.
Apple took away an established open standard in favor of new technologies, but instead of making the experience of using those new technologies better across the board, it made every third-party wireless audio product a second-class citizen of the Apple ecosystem.
To make wireless audio happen, Apple has to do the work of opening up and making the experience of connecting to any audio system on the iPhone as simple and frustration-free as pushing a button — as simple as wired audio has always been.
But the iPhone 7 is not that iPhone. In fact, right now you need more wires, dongles, and adapters to make it work with the rest of your life than ever before.
O ne of my favorite recurring bits at iPhone introductions is when Phil Schiller notes, correctly, that the iPhone camera is likely the best camera most people will ever own. This is an incredible fact, as is the fact that a huge number of people now quietly upgrade to a better camera on a fairly regular basis, and then use the hell out of that camera.
The explosion in mobile photography is one of the most revolutionary aspects of the entire smartphone revolution, and the general excellence of the iPhone camera over time is a big reason why.
This all adds up to a decent improvement, but the iPhone 6S was already operating at the top of the scale, bested only recently by the latest cameras in the Galaxy S7 and Note 7. In low light, that faster lens and optical image stabilization means that the 7 significantly outperforms the 6S. But compared to the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7 is a step improvement, not a major leap. The attempt at a major leap is on the iPhone 7 Plus.
