iOS 7 Review : Though new , it's still APPLISH

iOS 7 is the biggest visual change in the iOS , since the invasion
of the iOS in the mobile market 6 years ago . This is the Apple's answer to the mobile world , THIS IS IT and to the question of not being up to the demand of what market demands NOW , not what what was the situation about 6 years ago , where iPhone's UI was revolutionary , not now , in the world where more and more Operating Systems are getting in the market year by year and the competition is becoming tough and tough ..

Frankly , speaking , picking my Apple device , which in this case is last year's iPad Mini for the first time after updating is everything has been changed to Two dimensional , with the effect of color , what in short i call the OS colorful , actually nothing much has been changed just what i mentioned above that whole has OS has been plagued with TWO Dimensional adjective and colorful ..

Well , the change is made in every aspect with the lock scree The principle is same as  SLIDE TO UNLOCK , just instead of the arrow , now you can swipe the screen , which is inturn feels more comfortable , as now you can swipe from anywhere on the screen to right , unlike earlier versions which really required to extend fingers to arrow for the slide . Also , now passcode num bar in much more practical , as now you slide and then brings up the passcode numbar , the adapts to the color of the lock screen wallpaper ..

There's nothing much to speak about the OS , the just Apple's core Apps have been optimized to the iOS  UI , in which Apple has mostly programmed just TEXT instead of the buttons . Core apps have been made cleaner and there are changes to the icons , which sometimes UGLY , overall coming from iOS 6 which in looks and terms of  ethics , felt much more premium and steady and was less specs hungry ..  In iOS7 occasional lags are seen , in swiping between home screens and turning iPAD from portrait to landscape , and also the whole OS has been made with slow animations  ,  an this whole mixture makes an Android user feel the OS to bee bit laggy an slow .. Crashes've not been reported by me ..
Also now wallpapers , also adapts at which angle you look the screen , which is not the NEW thing , but feels OK , and eye pleasing ..

iOS 7.0.4 is the current version and iOS 7.1 beta is out now for DEVS , but commercial release is yet due in March .. Game Center , Camera App also received a visual over whole with the update , but as per functionality there is nothing more to Add . The stability is the iOS 6 , but lags are often . I think the OS is becoming specs hungry .. The apps also now have been optimized to the new OS UI , and also it's Apple , so  iPhone above 3GS and iPads above 1st Gen have received the update ....


Before the launch of iOS 7 jailbreak only was the solution for getting quick toggles in iOS .. But with the new OS , swiping up from the bottom reveals a control centre that adapts to the color of the homescreen wallpaper which is mix bag of quick toggles for WIFI , BT , Lock Screen Orientation , launch Camera , change brightness , control music etc .. So finally Apple realized the it's need and Boom ! They gave it ..

Also the notification center has been optimized to take the full advantage of the screen unlike the small card which came in iOS6 .. You have the three tabs TODAY which gives the info about the your events , temperature , as date and day .. You can swipe between the tabs .. ALL tab which gives all notification and you can also close the via X sign in the right UP on them ... Practically there's no use of the MISSED tab which gives info about the  missed nots ..... But iOS notification center , is not up to the Android in terms of functionality , but they have optimized it , that's it..

Also Siri has been  changed which also takes advantage of full screen , you can now choose between male and female choice, which is the case for iPhone , not iPads .... But it's same , but prefers more for WEB SEARCH .. While iOS 7 retains the same gestures for the iPads ..
Multitasking screen has finally been made much more practical , you can now now see the screenshot of the ongoing app , and close the app by just swiping it's card UP , which makes the work easy and feels practical unlike iOS 6 ,in which you need to press for 2 seconds , and click on the - sign ..

 Folder's looks are  changed and also it takes full advantage of the full screen , and you can have grids in the folder and toggle between them with just a swipe .. Which is good ..

But my only complain with the iOS 7 seven is it still retains the Widget style ( Android term) functionality , nothing new in the UI ..
