1. At WWDC 2013 today, Apple proclaimed iOS 7 will be obtainable today for
developers in beta version for the iPhone. The company also confirmed the list of
hardware that will be compatible with iOS 7 when the software debuts as a final
release this fall.The new system will be available for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone
5, iPad 2, iPad third and fourth generation, iPad mini and the iPod touch fifth
generation.
It is believed that possible upgrades we can expect are:
 iOS 7 with tricks such as passbook
 Upgraded and improved Siri integration: Siri can now take charge of phone
functions like changing the brightness, turning on Bluetooth, or playing a
voicemail.
 Vastly improved Google maps: Apple's own-brand Maps app may have been
controversial, but it does have some good news for pedestrians: turn-by-turn
walking directions, with a night mode so you don't end up advertising
yourself like a beacon for thieves when you don't know the area.
 Improved camera: This will have to be done to improve on the gimmicks that
have been introduced with models such as the HTC one and S4, expect one in
the region of 12MP
 More Ram and the introduction of NFC technology is now something that is
almost a must
 iOS 7 AIRDROP: Transferring files between iOS devices is set to get easier
with AirDrop, a new method of transferring data using Wi-Fi. Accessible
through Control Center, you just tap AirDrop to share what you're currently
viewing on your phone. A small menu appears to show you your nearby
friends, then you just tap one or more to share the data.
 Messages: A prime example of the new clean look for iOS 7, with flat
colors and a transparent keyboard. You can also scroll left to quickly get
to your messages.
What do you think of Apple's new iOS 7? Will it be enough for Apple to compete
with some of the latest Android smartphones?
