Introduction
iOS 7 is really the first major new release of iOS since it was first released in
2007. Most of the versions since then have only had minor and almost
unnoticeable improvements. The iPhone hardware continued to improve but the
software lagged behind.
iOS 7 brings a fresh new look and added functionality. Many of these
improvements or enhancements have been floating around on various other
smartphone devices for years. It is a hopeful sign that Apple is becoming more
aggressive with the features of iOS and will continue to innovate with their
software as much as they do with their hardware.
The following pages contain a guide to the new features of iOS 7 as well as
some tips and tricks to make your experience with the new iOS 7 as beneficial
as possible.
TIP: Be sure to tap or double tap and pinch to zoom any of the images in the
book for a closer look. This will enlarge the image so that you can see more of
the details.
