Apple unveils iOS 7
Apple on Monday took the wraps off iOS 7, the next version of the touch-based operating system that powers the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The new version of iOS sports an entirely new design.
"It's the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of iPhone," Cook said.
The entirety of the OS and the stock apps have been redesigned with a new, dramatically different flat look. The typography and icons have all been revamped. There's a sense of planes of data: Translucent textures reveal what's in the background. Backgrounds change in a parallax effect when you move the phone: As you do so, things in the background move around ever so slightly behind frontmost elements. Animations receive an overhaul, too.
A new approach to multitasking shows large previews of your running apps that you can flip through. And a new panel, which you drag up from the bottom of the phone's screen, reveals access to all sorts of quick controls for toggling settings.
