Sleek and Elegant:The all new iOS 7

With the launch of iOS 7, Apple has revealed its bull for the year 2013.The new iOS 7 comes clean clear and crisp and looks much simplified and organised.

Top highlights include AirDrop and the improved multitasking capabilities. At the same time,every icon on the home screen been changed,giving a completely different look to the home screen and it might be hard to recognize even for a regular Apple user.Other changes include the control center and notification center,which look considerably different even though most of the options have been duplicated.

One of the significantly visible change is the new iOS is the 'flat' look,which replaces the typical 3D view of the iPhone.Even the trademark messaging bubbles of apple are now replaced by much simpler elements,which are quite Android look alike.
The demo theme officially launched by Apple is very subtle,looks rich and elegant.Extra animations have been introduced in most of the Apps,which adds to the overall attraction of the front view.

Speaking of views, Apple has introduced a new parallax effect feature,which comes in play in the angular view.As we change the angle of view of the screen, even though the icons remain stationary,the background screen seems to displace in the inward direction,thus generating a pseudo-parallax effect.

Even SIRI looks completely different,now it can trigger actions on your phone's system settings, like play a past voice mail, turn on Bluetooth, and increase the brightness settings.

Apple has highlighted the new AirDrop feature of iOS7 : A handy new app,which helps quick sharing of files between our friends within a radius of few meters,but it is almost similar to Bluetooth and nothing else.
