Apple launches iOS 7, along with new interface for iCloud

4.5
As promised last week, Apple has now begun to allow older iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices to start downloading iOS 7. This free update to Apple's mobile OS is a pretty major one, in terms of the changes the company has made to its user interface. It does away with the old icon design in favor of a "flat" look, much like Windows Phone devices currently have. You can expect to see many popular iOS apps to be updated over the next several days that will use the new look of iOS 7.

iOS 7 is also supposed to have a new method to search, an improved way to group images in Photos, and more. Apple has even thrown in a male voice for the first time to its Siri voice recognition system in this new update. Along with iOS 7, Apple has also made iTunes 11.1 available for download, adding in features such as iTunes Radio, where people can listen to 250 streaming radio channels or make their own. It also has Podcast Stations, where users can make their own podcast collections that automatically update with new episodes.

Apple has also decided to give its iCloud website interface a new look, one that is almost identical to the flat look of iOS 7. Apple has thrown in new interfaces for several apps including Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, and Find my iPhone.

Urf I honestly see nothing significant in this update. Just some redesigned apps. Oh well. I expect this **** from Crapple.


This is exactly why I switched to Android.


Whys that, so you can lag around on a phone operating system on the go?


Wow, I didn't know my phone lagged. Seemed pretty smooth to me. Interesting. Secondly, any phone can lag.

Firstly if your "android" phone doesn't lag yet that means its almost new :P wait a while till it starts and you won't be able to do anything about it


I've had this phone for a year and a half. It's the Xperia Play. This thing is a hunk of shit, but with what I've done to it, it remains fine. And guess what, while your iPhail is having issues, mine is speeding along on 3 year old hardware on a 2 month old OS.

And all you get are re-skinned apps. **** useless.


its 786mb and after you download it, it erases the old os version which clears up about 750.
