I don't
I won't learn anything by telling you that it was last night that Apple revealed to the public
son iOS 7.
As expected, the changes are numerous and it is the entire system which has
been revised from top to bottom. Each application has been extensively reworked
to give more coherence to the whole.
What's better than an iOS 6 comparison andiOS 7to start the discovery of
new operating system that users will only have in hand
autumn.
Our colleagues from the iLounge siteoffer us a host of captures
screen:
The locked screen
Since we have to start with something, let's start the visit with
the locked screen.
As everywhere, the font adopted is finer. Even if the way of
unlock iPhone remains the same, the unlock bar is no longer
explicitly present, but simply suggested.
The status bar
If before, a small bar was constantly present at the top of
the screen, this will no longer be the case with iOS 7. Indeed, Apple has worked to
integrate this bar into different applications or simply
make transparent.
Here is an example with the note app whose changes are far from being
discreet…
The home screen
If ultimately, the home screen remains almost the same, it has also undergone
a major refresh. The icons have been reworked and the effects
luminous give way to a gradient that is sometimes quite clear-cut.
The font which indicates the names of the applications is thinner while the
dock, that is to say the bottom bar containing the 4 icons, is simply
symbolized by a grayer background.
Even if it is not visible in the image, the icons can move in
same time as the iPhone screen is tilted sideways or up and down
bas.
We like it or we don't like it, but undoubtedly, change is good
To be.
The files
Like the home screen, the folders have been revised and can
now contain more than several pages of icons.
The control center
To say that some have been waiting for this for a long time is an understatement. With iOS
7, a simple swipe from bottom to top on the screen provides access to the control
center. The most common settings are accessible in one click for
greatest pleasure of all.
Keyboards
On the keyboard, a wind of novelty blew and the font became more
fine. The keys are now white for a more sober and more
modern
Multitasking
Even if the multitasking activation remains the same, that is to say a double
click on the home button, the least we can say is that iOS 7 improves
greatly the thing.
The simple icon bar is replaced by a screen giving an overview of
the status of each application. Swipe up and the app is
permanently closed. A press and presto it opens…
The notification center
Here too we do not change a winning team since the center of
Notifications always appear the same way. However, he
is now transparent and provided with three tabs allowing you to put a
little order in all this.
Siri
Siri is entitled to a translucent version. The icon, although the same was
simplified and leaves room for a wave when the user speaks. Siri is
now a man or a woman since he has 2 voices.
L’App Store
Although discreet, the App Store displays some changes to match
to the rest of iOS. Fonts have been changed and icon bars
currently black will take on a white tint.
A new tab for geolocalized apps is also appearing
Calculator
Simple and refined…
Calendar
The grayish and rather ugly interface of the calendar now gives way to
a much clearer and more user-friendly news.
The camera
More than just a refresh, the camera has been deeply
amended. The interface is also cleaner and a simple swipe allows
to go from photo to video. Panorama mode has a tab and a mode
square photo appears.
In addition to this, Apple has decided to integrate 9 photo filters into its
application. However, these will only be available on iPhone 5 and
iPod touch 5.
Watch
Let's start with the icon which will now actually display the time.
For the rest, we find the same simplification and the trend towards interfaces
white and refined.
Compass, Game Center, Maps, iMessage, Music…
The key word? Clarity and simplicity!
Settings and contacts
Obviously, the menus have been refreshed. it must be admitted that this
does no harm:
Phone
Whether it's Facetime or the keyboard, iOS 7 doesn't forget the
phone !
Safari
In addition to adding new features, safari has been overhauled
entirely to take up less space on the screen. All tab management
I like the news a lot
