ios7 new features and disadvantages


The iOS 7 is one of the the largest updates the iOS has ever been had, it’s not as big of a deal as the iPhone OS 2 and the App Store were, but it took a lot of effort. It not only brings some key features and a few cool system apps, but it also completely changes the user interface and tweaks the right things. While not all of the new features that were brought here by the update will be as memorable as the next, each one of them feels new and innovative with only a few downsides.
