let's take a look at what they have in store it starts with the lock screen it's so gorgeous with its edge to edge design and precise typography when you swipe into the home screen get these gorgeous animations as these icons come in with their harmonious layout that precisely chosen color palette but I os7 is so alive with depth and not through artificial shadows or borders but the way the device responds to the motion of your hand with a parallax effect and this deep layering is conveyed across every experience of the device so as you swipe up from the bottom of the display you bring up control center you see that layer semi-transparent layer with these handy controls so you can turn on airplane mode access your music even turn on a flashlight this extends as well to experiences like Notification Center you can pull down from the top and now from anywhere including the lock screen and it's incredibly handy you can find out where your next need to go and because in iOS 7 your device actually learns when and where you commute it can recommend where you need to go and how long it will take you to get there with current traffic conditions it's totally handy now we've also made search more convenient than ever before in iOS 7 from any screen on your home screen you can pull down and search for whatever it is you're looking for and find it just like that now the experience and iOS extends throughout all the applications a great example is the weather app you see the edge to edge design the precise typography the subtle animations and if you double click on the home button you're taken into multitasking where all your apps are kept up to date you can just tap like for instance on safari and bring it out forward and safari in iOS 7 is fantastic we have the new tab you just tap in the lower right of the screen you get an overview of all your tabs pick a tab it slides forward start browsing and the controls just elegantly fade away letting you focus on your content now Siri is massively improved in iOS 7 just hold down on your home button go into Siri you can say things like what's lady gaga saying searching on Twitter ok here is the tweets so you see that Siri can now draw on the latest tweets but you also notice that great new high quality female voice you can also select between a new high quality male voices well here isn't tweets and in addition to Twitter Siri can now draw on information from Wikipedia in line web search and great photo search as well now the voices aren't the only place where the sound in iOS 7 is improved when you receive a call you may hear something like this or this or this now you may miss a call do to your dancing but it's okay we still have voicemail so it's all good and we've improved the system alert sounds as well you have lots of options like this or this or my favorite it's kind of cool in addition to these and many others we have all the old classics as well but remastered to sound better than ever before now of course one of the most important things we do with our phones is capture memories we do that with the camera app and in iOS 7 the camera is better than ever you can easily swipe between your different cameras like your video camera a new square aspect ratio camera you can tap in the lower right and get access to live photo effects you can apply them right while shooting or after the fact when you edit but what I really love with photos in iOS 7 is the way instead of a flat camera roll I can actually get my photos automatically grouped by moments based on the location and time when they were taken and if I want to zoom back those moments are collected into related collections for instance an entire vacation automatically pulled together into a single collection and I can pull even further back into the year view it's just stunning I get to see my entire year as a wall of color it's really awesome is that the on a Retina display you can actually make out different parts of your photo collection and you can just hold down your finger and scrub and find a particular photo and bring it forward and of course when you find a great photo you're going to want to share it and sharing in iOS 7 is easier than ever tapping the lower left bring up the share sheet across the top you can select additional photos to share you of course can share across messages I mail iCloud photo sharing but if you want to share with people right around you there's nothing better than airdrop for anyone who has their phone on nearby they'll appear an airdrop you can just tap tap on each person you want to share with and be a high-speed p2p Wi-Fi your securely sharing it's absolutely phenomenal now of course at Apple we really love music and an iOS 7 the music apps is absolutely the best way to enjoy your own personal music collection but now in iOS 7 we also have itunes radio it's the best way to experience new music now this is as easy as tapping across the top on one of the featured stations as always iOS 7 will be available unbelievably for free starting on September 18th it's available for iPhone 4 and later the ipad 2 and later the ipad mini and the 5th generation ipod touch that's iOS 7 thank
