Recently, Apple announced that they would be releasing the new iOS 7 very soon for its iDevices. The operating system has a very unique appeal compared to its previous versions. Plenty of preloaded apps have been revamped. AirDrop and iTunes Radio are the two new services Apple has introduced in the new OS. Also, the iOS 7 has strong security features. Here is a low down on the top features of the new iOS 7.

New Appeal
The newest change to the interface of the OS is the transparency effect in homescreens. The new iOS has been designed to track motion. This makes it possible for you view things that are behind the icons. For instance, when you are viewing your apps, behind it you will see your homescreen. As expected, the OS looks cleaner and has simplistic appeal.

Back Button
You won’t see a physical back button on the new iOS powered iDevices but what you will get is the back gesture which is also present on the BB10 OS. The iOS back button will show up when you require the feature but when it is not needed it won’t show on the screen. You can do this by swiping from the left side of the screen. The feature will be available on Safari internet browser and Mail but may not be available on other apps.

Preloaded Apps Ugraded

You can teach the service to play your favorites songs by making it understand which songs you like and which ones you don’t. Since the music streaming service is connected with iTunes, you will be able to purchase your favorite music tracks through iTunes.

Improved Siri
