Weather APP
The redesigned weather app now looks better than previous
one and it now runs on full screen rather than in a small window. It has an
animated background which visually displays the weather conditions viz. sunny.
Control Center
Previously in iOS 6 there was no short cut for settings
accessed frequently like WiFi, Bluetooth flight mode, etc. Every time users
have to go to setting app to make any simple changes. This seemed to be quite
bothering to users going to setting app every time. With new iOS 7, there is new
feature of Control Center. Control Center contains all simple settings that
users need to access. It has setting for WiFi Bluetooth, brightness,
calculator, media controls, calculator, airdrop (peer-to-peer sharing) and
camera. Control Center can be open by swiping your finger up from the bottom of

list of events and reminder going to happen today. 3) missed- this tab shows if
any call has been missed by you. The notification center can be accessed by
swiping your finger down from top of the screen.
Airdrop
With Airdrop feature, now it is very easy to share files or

than showing only icon of the running apps, it also displays the thumbnail of
the apps.

simpler having plain white heading and messages appear in colored bubble but
still we will not be able to know about any unread messages; folders- where
metallic background is replaced by transparent box; Safari browser- there is
now only single box for searching and URLs; App store- apps will be now updated
automatically rather than doing it manually; Photos- photos captured from
