IOS7 Synopsis


So what's the deal?

I will not bore you will every technical detail that this highly anticipated mobile operating system has changed and improved, however I will be discussing the most obvious things; its new look and new features. After all, we consumers care for nothing much else. It is, however, enriching to know its technical enhancements, I suggest that you read that on the countless reviews which sprung up out of the blue. 


It amazes me, judging from the video displayed above, the articulate speech used to promote the software already presents the "apple is the way of life" platform right in front of you. All you need to do is allow yourself to be immersed in it and to merely float on over. It really isn't hard. 

So what is the actual deal? I've heard remarkably mixed reviews on it's new appearance, the most obvious one that it resembles Android, which I must say that it does. But is that a bad thing? Those who are liberal in the rival between Apple and Android, do you really care? The video displayed above expressed the simplicity and efficiency this OS provides but with the same layout as previous IOS versions. I do have to agree however not having first hand experience with the software, we use our eyes to judge don't we? 

Let's have a recap. The appearance in my opinion is flawless and I have to compliment it. I am on who quite enjoys simplicity. Just as a new layout comes along, it makes you realize just how out-of-date the previous IOS was. The bubbleness of the apps previously have now been removed. It was nice while it lasted. But with an ever-changing world where technical rivals are experiencing a constant war, IOS 7 should place Apple 'back up there' with Android where it belongs. 

Some new additions: control center, airdrop, itunes radio and pretty much totally simpler apps. I don't feel like diving into the depths of this discussion because I frankly don't feel like it. Let's float above the discussion and only mention the key comments. Control center is exactly what it says it is. It's a useful addition which allows even greater simplicity. Go apple. 
If you've read about Airdrop you'll know it's function. I think it's pretty neat. 

Overall, I commend apple, obviously. Although I do highly enjoy apple products and count myself a fan, I do dream about android devices in my spare time too. I would count myself as a liberal but people who know me personally might beg to differ. This revamp and rejuvenation of a much-loved operating system was a good move, well done. There's irony in simplicity in a world where things are getting more complex by the day. 

So how close is that platform to you? Don't worry, it'll get closer.
