Apple-iOS7- What The Buzz Is All About...

Back With An Article On One of The Most Awaited APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE-The iOS7


With the original iPhone software nearly six years old, Apple has taken a bold step that hints at larger screens through the use of bright colors, swipe gestures and animation.
OS 7 is considered a robust update with a number of positive points, including edge-to-edge design,the automatic update of apps, improved Mail, better security and the inclusion of AirDrop for iOS.The new update also fixes 80 security vulnerabilities that presumably remain in iOS 6, including the prevention of malicious code execution, determination of pass codes through applications, and the ability to intercept data protected with IPSec Hybrid Auth.However, a number of flaws and problems have been reported, including lagging response times, app confusion with gesture control, inconsistent design and garish colour schemes.
While The iOS has chugged on from year to year (rigidly eschewing the back button favoured in Android and, latterly, Windows Phone), other user interface ideas have come in. WebOS and the BlackBerry PlayBook brought the idea of viewing your multitasking apps on a flat carousel, and killing apps by swiping them upwards, or choosing them by pressing on them. BB10 introduced the neat swipe left to move back to a previous screen. Android offered quick ways to access your Wi-Fi and other settings without necessarily unlocking the phone.
With The Inevitable flaws creeping into the OS,users are likely to get more inclined towards the
androids and the Blackberry OS.
More than 7 million tweets about iOS 7 were sent in the 24 hours before and after the launch of the OS. That's according to Crimson Hexagon, a social media analysis firm. The precise number: 7,364,005.
(Phew...that's a large number.. :P )
PLUS, An Embarrassing discovery comes within hours of release of new software and exploits Control Center feature to hack into photos, texts and Facebook content.Apple says it will fix an embarrassing security flaw on its new iOS 7 software which hackers showed can bypass the lockscreen and access personal data.
The Flaw,discovered within hours of iOS 7 becoming publicly available, can be exploited on the iPhone 4S and 5 and gives access to personal data including email, photos, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr. It is exploited via the Control Center function, which is found by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. That offers access to the phone user's alarms, a calculator, and the camera, as well as frequently-used settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Airplane mode.

COMPARISION:
Okay.So A Brief Comparision Of iOS7 With Its Competitors:
Looking again at Android (HTC Sense and Android 4.3 on the Nexus 4) I'm struck by how much wasted space they have, and how dark it seems - giant strips top and bottom, huge gaps between the icons. Of course iOS 7 has to put things closer together; its screens are smaller. Even so, it feels like there's wasted space. As to Android's configurability - yes, it's great. Also, potentially confusing as hell. And iOS 7 trumps it now for rapid access to functions such as turning functions on or off. And that flashlight. Trust me, you'll use it.
Windows Phone - well, the same problem of information density remains there (it's all elaborate fonts, not enough information, even on big screens), added to unintuitive navigation. BB10? If you give it time, it makes sense, and its use of gestures is (was, now) smart. But there are other UI foibles (for example, why do your Twitter direct messages live in the BlackBerry Hub, but you can't reply to them there?). BB10 has some nice ideas, but it's incoherent.
I hope you got all the requisite knowledge regarding the new iOS7..So Download It According To Your Will.. :P
