“Apple’s latest mobile software will bring more than just visual changes to its existing and next wave of customers,” Zack Whittaker writes for ZDNet.
“For 30 days, I ran a pre-release version of iOS 7 (which iteratively improved when newer updates were released and installed) on my iPhone 4S,” Whittaker writes. “Aside from a fresh lick of paint in the user interface department, iOS 7 packs in so many new features and functionality that it’s absurd to think that one lived without it for so long… It felt as though I had a brand new iPhone resting in the palm of my hand.”
Whittaker writes, “Siri’s beta tag was ripped off like a sticky band-aid: It’s refined and polished, and, above all else, it works. No longer is Siri frustrating to use — the intelligence assistant has ‘grown up’ to accommodate a vast array of different features and services, including hardware support. Its blurred façade and bright white text is easy to read and welcoming. And its responsive on-screen voice analyzer may be a little on the sci-fi side, but it responds and reacts instantly to your voice.”
