Apple today at the conference WWDC 2013 really did not disappoint and presented another, the seventh version of the operating system in a row iOS, iOS 7. Unlike OS X, which left the big cats for California, iOS 7 keeps the same name, without any changes. The new version of the most advanced mobile OS brings a drastically updated look, which was taken care of by the design team of Sir Jonathan Ivo.
Let's start with us Apple attracted attention with a logo that corresponds exactly to the one we could see on the decorative materials. It's time to look at compatibility. As expected, Apple definitively cut off support for the old man iPhone 3GS, making it the only phone from 2009 to end its life in 2013. However, we were intrigued by the fact that Apple decided to end support for the 4th generation iPod touch, which only donesold in stores a long time ago and continues to sell out. The operating system itself is therefore compatible with the following devices:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPad 2
- iPad 3rd and 4th generation
- iPad mini
- iPod touch 5nd generation
This time, however, we were greeted by a spectacular announcement that the CEO Tim Cook commented that iOS 7 represents "the biggest change in iOS since the announcement iPhone". In addition to the new logo, we will be greeted by an introductory video with Jony Ivo, which after some time also presents the announced drastic change of environment. When creating a new environment, you Apple took inspiration from jailbreak utilities, Android and Yahoo! The weather. This inspiration can be seen in the transparency and blurring of background items. Transparency affects the environment of almost all applications, multitasking and, last but not least, the notification center.
The Notification Center has undergone a major overhaul, making it look much more modern, more welcoming, and offering a closer overview of what users have planned for the next day. This is mainly taken care of by cooperation with the calendar, which is synchronized with OS X Mavericks. The notification center can now be managed from the locked home screen, thanks to which Apple it removed one of the things that bothered us about the system.
The lock screen has also been changed. A drastic change. Slide to Unlock can be done anywhere on the screen and is not dependent on the bar that we have seen so far. The environment, however, retains the same cleanliness, but another innovation affects users who have their devices locked with a number. If this concerns you, the screen will shift to the left to offer a brand new lock screen with circular buttons and a blurred background.
After unlocking, we encounter a completely new transition animation and we can also notice the background. The system is no longer 2D, it is made up of layers. Thanks to these layers, the background on the home screen moves depending on the position of the phone. Also new are animated backgrounds that represent, for example, the bubbles that we could see in the presentation. They also saw changes foldera. Until now they could contain all the ingredients maximally 12 applications, today this number is much higher. Folders now have their own pages, similar to the home screen with apps. At the same time, we encounter a completely new, pleasant environment, which probably took its inspiration from the prototype iPhone, which published Vietnamese server Tinhte.
The inspiration from Android continues, and we can also find a completely new pull-out menu, Control Center, in the system. This menu offers improved multitasking options from before, and in addition to music and volume settings, it now allows you to control Wi-Fi, brightness, launch instant apps and many other options. Moreover, Apple are trying to make the system truly unlimited, so we don't have to be surprised that we can check these things already on the new lock screen iPhone.
The big change also affected multitasking and Apple tvis rumored to offer longer battery life this time around. Like many jailbreak utilities, the new multitasking will offer the ability to track miniature of applications. However, multitasking is also transferred to the interface itself, and the system is now able to recognize which applications the user uses most often. Thanks to this, the system can automatically silently update the status of the given applications and adjust their priority. As long as you use often Facebook, the application will notify you of the status change at the same time as the update is carried out, so it will no longer be necessary to load these changes manually. Applications that require internet login can now adapt to internet connection conditions.
Apple attacks Yahoo! his own weapon, and as long as you're using the Yahoo! Weather loved, weather v iOS 7 you will love. The interface of this application is very striking, but unlike the beautiful photos from the Flickr network, effects will appear on the screen that define the relevant weather. So if you're looking at a location where a storm is happening, you'll see lightning flash on your screen from time to time. At the same time, the application offers an intelligent list of all the locations whose weather you follow, and as you may have noticed, this interface is very similar to Passbook. What is new, however, is the fact that in addition to the weather and location itself, we will also see the local time, which may make the world time section in the Clock application lose its meaning for many users.
Let's take a look at the Music app. This time, the Music app offers a completely new interface, and as we expected a few weeks ago, Apple actually removed the Cover Flow interface. Instead, we now find a complete collection of album covers, among which it is possible to move by sliding. In addition to the updated environment, the full integration of i is also newCloud, thanks to which we will encounter in the system the presence of albums that the user has purchased, but does not have them downloaded on the device. The user thus has two options. He either downloads the music to his device or simply starts streaming it. A multi-user dream iOS 6 became a reality. This exact same option is also available for those who are on iTunes Store they buy movies. If you buy a movie, you don't need to download it to your device, you just start streaming it. Apple he further confirmed that he was indeed preparing an internet radio and that Apple simplified work with the system, placing iTunes Radio directly in the Music application. You can read more about what iTunes Radio can do in the article Apple introduced by iTunes Radio.
Color icon Game Center is a reality and Apple this time it will offer an icon on the home screen that resembles the buttons of a game controller. Craig Federighi he presented this change mockingly, "Not even a bit of green!". The animations in this app may slightly resemble the existing Xbox SmartGlass app, primarily intended for Xbox console users.
It also brings a big and very welcoming change Safari. Safari now offers a completely new, clean full-screen interface, which is no longer available only in the horizontal, but also in the vertical position of the iPhone. Apple also unified the controls on the top side and therefore in the new Safari we find only one text field, which is in charge of both searching and opening web addresses. Bookmarks are a matter of course, and what will certainly please you is the unlimited number of open tabs. Users are no longer limited to eight tabs, most recently they will move through the menu, which includes, among other things, tabs open on other devices, andCloud tabs. These tabs can be moved as needed by the user holding down and moving the given window. The app shutdown effect may resemble the current Google app Chrome pre iOS, in which it is possible to close an open page by simply "pushing" it away from the screen. Safari is more social and will now allow users to follow links posted by your friends on social networks such as Twitter.
The great innovation is AirDrop. AirDrop is the answer Applu on the impossibility of sending files between phones and devices Applu. In this way, the user can send a file to several friends very quickly and, as Federighi claims, there is no need to "put phones together". Apple so it continues to present that NFC is a foreign concept to him. But the function is adapted only for the latest devices and therefore only owners will be able to use it iPhone 5, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th generation.
The innovation affects the voice assistant Siri. It has not yet appeared in the OS X system, however iOS but it offers a much more human face. Apple decided to record much more realistic voices, thanks to which the new Siri it only sounds minialmost robotically. The natural voice is available in both female and male versions, and initially only users with the American localization will encounter it. But he can do it after the new one Siri play the last link, turn on bluetooth, increase the brightness of the phone, read information from Wikipedia and Twitter, display internet searches and we can also expect several other functions. With new features Siri but only users will meet iOS 7. Perhaps the only feature we are missing is an offline mode.
Apple among other things, he fulfilled his dream of having "iCar”, and this time users will be able to move the modified interface iOS directly to your car's on-board computer. These are cars from Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Jaguar and several others.
Whereas until now it was necessary to switch between camera and video camera mode via a lever in the corner of the screen, this time you simply need to scroll between the modes. In addition to the camera and video modes, the popular panoramic mode and the brand new square photo mode, which we can recognize from Instagram, for example, deserved their own screen. It is also possible to enrich photos with various effects, be it sepia colors or high contrast. Apple brought about a significant change for those who use their devices for photography.
At the same time, these users will be pleased with the fact that the new photo gallery automatically sorts photos according to the place where they were captured or the year they were captured. The system is therefore simpler and will allow you to move more quickly between photos that have been captured by the phone. Of course, it is possible to share photos and videos via AirDrop, e-mail and other existing services. The new feature is the ability to share video via Shared Photo Streams, but we do not yet know if this option will have any capacity limitations. The new Shared Photo Streams environment can complement the Instagram interface, as this time we will see all the photos and the comments below them.
Finally, another dream came true for us, and if you were also bothered by the need to manually update all applications, Apple removed this option. All apps can now be updated automatically, similar to Power Nap on the Mac. We expect this to only happen if the device is connected to a charger. In addition to the white user environment, another useful service was added within the applications. Apps Near Me will allow you to search for all useful applications depending on your location. If the user is in New Yorku, we can find in it, for example, the Starbucks application or the local subway maps.
Among other options is the possibility of execution audiocalls via FaceTime, synchronization of Notifications, blocking of phones and SMS. The system itself is already in the hands of developers today, but they can only install it on iPhone. Beta version iOS 7 for iPad is due to arrive in the coming weeks, but the official release will take place in the fall.
Leave them autumn!
Absolutely the best apple when he released, absolute beauty, I am blown away and speechless… apple is z5 in play
They annoy me! They're releasing it now, who should be looking forward to it? What the hell are you doing Apple think? We want everything now! Especially iOS 7! Such a beautiful and amazing system! It will definitely be great on my iP 4S, but I want it now :( …
(Intended with great exaggeration and humor, but you can understand that I was somewhat disappointed by such a gap between performance and release...)
and what about black iPhone ?
Exactly !
t0min0s: I guess we won't see that one much in promotional materials anymore... When it's 90% iOS7 thrown into white, black iP won't go well with it ;-)
I also think it was the best keynote over the past two years. And both OS X and iOS They did a great job. Adding missing features and a newly redesigned look iOS is simply great. I was worried about Jonny Ive's excessive graphic simplicity, but they compensated for it with a 3D effect using a gyroscope, beautiful multitasking and a glamour effect behind the keyboard and bars + control center... Really hats off... I use iphone 2 months... I have 250 apps there and no lag or anything... Androids would be dying from the last one and I even had last year's 4 cores
Thought it was new iOS bomb! I have whites myself iPhone 5 so it doesn't bother me personally:))):D
Fx- I didn't think of that :-D I have black iphone 5 32gb :-D so when it is Iphone 5S is only white :-D
Beautiful. Amazing design. I have to applaud and rejoice. All the tweaks I use on my iPhone with jb are now in ios 7. Great!!
Does anyone know if there will be IOS7 in full for Iphone 4 or will there be any limitations in using the features?
official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1WuckCkAuWs
I like it a lot, I like the background with the stars in the video, it goes well. What I like less is the Reminders system and the overall graphics of these applications, the same Calendar, I find it confusing and the font is strange to read - but I'm convinced that it's just a habit and in reality everything will be ok.
I have a great overall feeling, I'm just a little worried about how the icons of other applications will look in such an environment, for example Instagram, which has a distinctive icon, or maybe WhatsApp and a bunch of different games. I guess they'll have to adapt the design over time, but miniAt least at first it will probably seem a little strange, if that is the case iOS it doesn't automatically change these icons, I don't know if that's how it works.
So great for me, I'm looking forward to the new iPad 5 with this system, smaller, thinner and lighter design, I'll make myself happy in the fall :)
El barto. I think they were just talking about airdrop that it will not be for iphone 4 otherwise everything should work normally.
Why are the icons so terribly ugly, can someone explain it to me?
El Barto – this will probably appear with iphone 5S how much will it be able to do? iphone 5,4S and 4… just like last year with iOS 6. Most of the features will be there, but you can't count on airbustard, siri and such things that only have iphone 5 to iphone 4S
Raywen – As of today, all developers have it… so in 3 months I think the main apps in the top charts will get new icons in the style iOS 7
Will there be links to the beta? I assume that, as in the past, they should be able to install via shift for regular users without any problems.
they added what I expected: photo filters, quick settings, new unlock screen
everything is wonderful, simply the best WWDC in the last 3 years
Excellent, so I'll be a Kvelurant. The new design is a step back, why?
so:
- the icons are graphically weak, without flair, without an idea, impersonal
-OS elements are bland and confusing
-applications cannot be distinguished at first glance, one has to focus on which application one is currently looking at, this is something that the user iOSu didn't know before, this system won't be easy for a 3 year old child or a senior to control
- the mostly white background is not pleasant in the evening or in poor light
- still need to press HB due to mutlitasking
-iOS It's no longer unique, it's like a skin for Jelly Bean
-iOS is no longer clear
-icons and 3rd party apps will be like a fist in the eye in this new Hello Kitty environment, not all developers will modify
-Not much on a black iPhone, WP8 at least allows you to choose a background
-nonsense, why the notification center on the lock screen, perhaps that is a private matter
-sw buttons bland and ugly and incoming call - buttons are not legible on some background photos, I have on ysli, the ones above red and green, plus the font is not chosen smartly - difficult to read for people with poor eyesight
Sumasumarum, if I have to get used to this pasquil, I'll try to look elsewhere.
treysand – as of today only in theory, because the servers are catastrophically overloaded
I like the new look. It's a significant refresh. iOS compared to the old, not very modern look. I wouldn't compare it to Android or WP. There's nowhere else to go, the similarity will always be there. And compared to Android, I think it will all be in sync without latency or bugs. I was surprised that there will also be support for iPad 2.. At least I will be able to update my older iPad.. Thank you Apple :)
Zabak – So in a week :-), but I meant that the main developers are working on remaking the stupid onesoneThey will have some time :-)
neilz – well, maybe in two or three days… I’ll try it then too if I can get it without a developer profile and there will be instructions on how to get from 5 to iOS 6.1.4
spirit303: it's possible to go the other way, you can go with different colors, not every application has to be on a white background, I expected from AppWhat a mess, this is even worse than Google's Android design and it's no miracle.
Macman: I don't think that there will be a white background in every application.. And if it is filled with information for the most part.. I'm glad that apple decided to make this change and changed the graphics. Now it has been a long time sinceoneI like it and the icons seem quite nice and well-made.. No gimmick. Nobody wants to choose from thousands of keyboard and icon looks like on Android. I'm really curious about the tuning. I hate lag and waiting..
treysand and neilz: without a developer account, IOSYou won't get 7 until the fall. No download file exists and cannot exist.
The only way is to trick some developer into registering your phones' SSIDs to their account, then you'll be fine. IOS7 upload.
Return to IOS6 is another question that has no answer yet.
the new one ios it looks really beautiful, both in terms of design and functionality. although the icons are a bit too colorful for my taste, but otherwise it's a blast! let autumn be already
Zabak – that's not entirely true :-) there is a guide on the internet on how to get it on your phone ios 6 beta without a developer account :-) and the whole romka will definitely be on the internet within a week... just like it was iOS 6 beta… Anyway, I already wrote to one developer and he said that the first betas are always terribly buggy … but he would sign me up for his account for 90 CZK … but then I have a bad feeling that it will be cut off iphone and it will lag and ruin the feeling I would have if it was fine-tuned :-) anyway, the same discussion is there year after year at the release beta version :-D all we need is 100 of us to come together and each give 1 dollar and we can all have the beta :-D
The developer servers are already running and beta 7 can be downloaded.
– return to 6 is not possible
– can only be installed on registered developer machines
Zabak – I'm not a developer but everyone beta In previous versions, you could always go back to version 5 :-) and the utility worked on iOS 6 without a developer profile... but it's possible that it will be fixed this year :-) anyway, for 90 CZK you can get a slightly buggy one iOS 7 :.D
Hmm. The icons are hideously ugly, but I welcome the other improvements, it's much better than I expected.
Treysand:
– you're right about the dollar
– probably also with the first version
– I wouldn't put a beta on an unregistered phone for anything. I don't want to make a brick out of him when he is Apple require activation.
Zabak - I agree with that :-) I wouldn't try it either :-) mainly I thought I'd try it first, but then why waste CZK 90, it's better to buy some application and wait 3 months :-)
God it's disgusting!!!
Today for me Apple ended and I was a really big fan!
I'd rather kick Jony in the p…..
Unclear, scary, hard to control, just the ugly white everywhere, but now you can't see it in the photos, you don't even really know what to press where, I can already see how I can put this OS in the hand of an old person and he will be able to control it (irony! )
what bothers me the most is that this OS is not logical!!!
just disgusting! disgust, disgust!
Macbook air The update was pretty poor too, at least they removed the corners and stretched the display.
Well, I don't know, maybe I need to get used to it, but I don't like the new icons at all.
Mainly Safari and Settings looks terrible.
I don't understand how you can all be so namäkkkkko about it. And the white everywhere - well, I really don't know.
I guess I really need to let it sit for a while and then I'll look at the environment again.
But my first impression is terrible.
He points out directly that it is impossible to go back Apple, as well as a warning that once installed on an unregistered phone, it will be unusable and will require repair.
I don't think anyone has verified any of the points yet ;-)
just a shout out in the dark for Roman - you wouldn't want to get caught in photoshop ios7 on black iphone 5? just for an idea... as a pointer for those who claim that it must be ugly, which I don't think... it would only be enough as a side flash. thanks :)
It gave me quite a headache, now I'm just thinking about which brand I'll go for,
WHERE ??? Which brand will offer me perfectionism?
(none now!)
I still can't understand how you can like it!
S. Jobs would never publish this, believe me!!!
absolutely terrible icons (photo and gamecenter = 2 most disgusting icons in os !)
It doesn't look very good in the photos, but take a look at the video I posted in the last comment, it's a great system in action :)
They had to change it somehow, it was clear that they wouldn't appeal to everyone... I don't understand the criticism of the controls, etc., when you only saw it in the photos...
http://imzdl.com/ios.php
iOS 7 downloads... Just want to have a developer profile :-D
just installed, it looks awesome, it works awesome, it's awesome :)
so I downloaded the beta to an unregistered phone and it is completely unusable until you activate it :-) so I'm waiting for the morning to put money in my account and buy the dev program... otherwise I plan to film a review on my black one iphone 5
to Macman:
absolute agreement. They are new to me personally iOS not at all, but not at all ... really bad Hallo Kitty made a mistake.
You who praise it here, try to imagine that until now the design of the applications was in harmony with the environment iOS and now it sucks, so definitely another plus minus Apple and they are picked up fairly quickly by RIP Jobs
that Macman
It can't be written better, so I totally agree
what to add: there is certainly no risk of upgrading to 7 from my side, and when it comes down to it, after several years of being a fully satisfied user iphone, I will have to turn 180°
Those icons are really disgusting! I really didn't expect that. I praise everything else.
AirThe drop will only be for devices with 2,4/5 GHz WiFi, so the 4S won't get it... :(
So I will also express myself :-D. I quite like the new system. Unfortunately, I can't help but see considerable inspiration from Windows 8. But what I'm more afraid of is chaos. It seems more chaotic to me, but maybe it's just an initial impression and the reality is different. Anyway, I've never used the notification center and I don't plan to start now. The control center is only to satisfy the needs of some people like anmart, who have been loudly calling for it. Personally, I have automatic brightness, a timed disturbed mode (automatically) and I haven't used Bluetooth since high school. I honestly don't even know what airplane mode is for :-D. I turn on the flashlight between the icons and the same goes for the camera. What I really like is the new anti-theft protection, it's fantastic. The appearance is ikonek is debatable but for me neither + nor -. We'll all get used to it. Overall it looks nice. I'll definitely try it. The main thing is that it's well-tuned. Good luck in the fall :D
Oh, and a note. The weather looks fantastic! But that was to be expected in cooperation with yahoo! :)
So I won't install this... Those icons are really close!
So I try and quite satisfied. Sometimes a mistake, but quite good. I just haven't figured out how to turn off some running things in Multitask. (Otherwise it's great)
So back to the trees I have it :) Nice and simple :D
