27 new iOS 7 features Apple didn't talk about
   




   

Apple had a lot of ground to cover in its WWDC keynote, which might be why you might have missed some of iOS 7 new features.

System improvements

System improvements aren't always the flashiest features, so they often get short shrift at keynotes. But they're often hidden gems.


Audio-only FaceTime calls: This little nugget actually got a few seconds in the keynote, as Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi briefly mentioned its virtues. Audio-only FaceTime calls will let you voice-chat with others—no phone plan needed—but only over Wi-Fi. I’m sure Apple would love to implement this feature over 4G and LTE networks, but I'm also pretty sure AT&T and the other cellular providers would have something to say about it.


AppleMight audio-only FaceTime come to the Mac? We'll see in the fall.
