Now that WWDC 2013 has just passed, developers have been given access to the beta of iOS 7. Here is a quick preview of what to expect.
(By the developer agreement, I cannot show you anything that Apple has not officially shown to the public yet, only features that have been demonstrated by them can be revealed. If you have already watched the keynote, then there is nothing new to see here.)
This is the new Lock Screen. For the first time, iOS comes with animated wallpapers, as well as being able to open Notification Center from the Lock Screen.
Unlocking the device, we are greeted with all-new app icons. I've also downloaded GraalOnline Classic. If the device is tilted around, the background actually moves along with the motions, giving a slight feeling of depth.
A new and very useful feature is Control Center, which can be summoned by swiping up from the bottom of the screen anywhere. Control Center allows the user to toggle settings such as Wi-Fi, change the brightness, control media playback, and access a few common apps. Also note here is the toggle for AirDrop, a Bluetooth-based media sharing framework that allows the user to effortlessly share things like photographs or videos (from the Camera Roll) to other iOS 7 users nearby.
The App Switcher now displays previews of each app. The user can close an app by simply swiping upwards.
And this is what happens when you try to play Graal on iOS 7. The reason for this is because the server runs security checks to see which devices and OS are being used to access it. If it does not recognise a device or OS, it prevents the user from logging on in case it was a hacker who somehow broke in.
iOS 7 will be supported on:
iPhone 4 (all revisions)
iPhone 4S (all revisions)
iPhone 5 (all revisions)
iPad 2 (all models)
iPad mini (all models)
iPad 3rd generation (all models)
iPad 4th generation (all models)
iPod touch 5th generation
