I'm looking forward to using the new iPhone Operating System, IOS version 7. From the keynote address, and the New Features page on the Apple website, it sounds like it has some really nice new features, that will make the phone even more simple and fun to use. I don't see anything earth-shattering, but it looks like a solid step up. In summary:
A new way to control the most-accessed settings -- Control Center -- that will be easily accessible by swiping up from the bottom of the phone. It will have a built-in flashlight, so I can delete the three flashlight apps I've been waffling between, on my phone. Yay.
A new easier to read Notification Center, with new features that sound very handy.
Some really good improvements to the way they do multitasking, that make it smarter, and will contribute to longer battery life.
A new Square aspect ratio option for the camera. They say square pictures work better for the social networking sites, like Facebook, which I use a lot.
Other new picture-related options, like color temperature and monochrome filters, and a great new way to find the one cool picture in the large list of pictures on the phone.
A new service called AirDrop, that lets you share stuff with nearby friends, if you want to. They poked fun at the Android, which requires you to go around the room, and physically bump the phone of each friend that you want to share with.
A much-improved Safari web browser, which is good news, for those of us who use that thing a large percentage of the time we're using our phone.
A new iTunes Radio feature, that gives access to online streaming music through a new method.
More improvements to the Siri advisor. It sounds better, and it does more things.
New security features to make it easier to recover and restore a lost phone.
New bluetooth features that allow the phone to integrate seamlessly with the bluetooth system in a car. Shoot. *Now I need a new car.*
