what's up everyone Ashley would TechnoBuffalo here we are checking out iOS 7 for the iPad this time around we have it set up and there are some differences between this and the iPhone version obviously because of scale so let's check it out okay so we are gonna wake up our iPad here you can see we have a couple of new features this is the control center so now you can actually look at that I'm assuming if you don't have a security code setup I really like the addition of these five quick options so do not disturb mode orientation lock Bluetooth Wi-Fi and of course airplane mode for when the FAA is gonna take give us the right to have our iPads on while we take off which will be really nice so let's slide to unlock and let's check out the homescreen so here it is this is iOS 7 not at first glance not a whole lot different than iOS 6 it's still the same icon grid that we've seen traditionally from Apple but there are some changes so you'll notice in the calendar there is no more foe calendar so this skeuomorphism calendar with this sort of torn off edge over here and the upper corner is no longer there this really nice year view we're able to get a nice glance of your year as a whole and of course month week day you can see they've gone with this sort of white and red color theme I'm gonna move on so we can check out lots of other stuff so here's notes it's no longer a yellow legal notepad which I always thought looked ridiculous and they've now just sort of changed this there's actually a little bit of a texture to the screen when you're looking at it it's really interesting it just looks like paper so it looks as if this is typed on paper and I don't know if we can get that on camera but it is there and it's very very subtle and very interesting on really quickly this is the new share icon and here are those line art versions of copy print we'll see some more later in a different app but we also have our message mail and different so you'll see in this bar here so one of the things just keep in mind that this bar and this Share Option is in the upper right hand corner because there's something design-wise that I have a little bit of an issue with that I'm hoping they fix before the official release candidate comes out later this year so that's notes really simple straightforward reminders same type of thing they also have this kind of textured paper that I I wish you guys could really see in detail it's it's pretty subtle which I prefer as opposed to the straightforward the very straightforwardness of that legal pad that bright yellow legal pad with marker felts as the default font we have of course our photos now we can look at collections we can look at years so of course we don't have a lot of pictures on our lovely on our lovely office iPad but if we're looking at some things say we wanted to look at this totally random picture I discovered on it of dog a redshirt dog wearing Vulcan ears here's that picture now going back to this year button this time in photos the share button is down on the bottom left which to me seems like a design flaw and I I tend to like to have my options in the same place for every single first party app so more line art so we have some different options here assigned a contact airplay uses wallpaper print copy slideshow we also have message mail iCloud Twitter Facebook and Flickr for sharing and I'm sure those will increase as you install other apps that will work with iOS 7 but yeah that's photo I as I said I didn't care for the fact that they've kind of moved these icons around just what feels willy-nilly to me so let's take a look at Game Center I find Game Center to be very interesting I'm glad that they changed the icon because oh that's another thing that's a little bit interesting in this particular beta of this first beta you have these really lovely animations for when you go into a folder from your home screen but if it's in your dock it just pops up so I'm sure Apple will fix that but it's definitely something that somebody should bug report at some point so here we are in Game Center this is very different from the look and you love before it's along the same lines but not quite what we had before so here's our lovely games turns challenges you can see everything recommended games so they'll say hey like we see that you are playing these games and that your friends are playing these games maybe you want to check them out so Ralph here at the office has been playing infinity blade and infinity blade - so it says hey maybe you want to check that game out if we have any challenges they would be in here we don't have any right now obviously but I just wanted to show you guys game center really quickly one thing I'm really excited about the ability to put newsstand into a folder finally I don't have to look at that hideous wood shelving on my iPad anymore and also they've they've made this much much nicer so now you have this beautiful sort of again with the flat design it's not made to look like something in real life but newsstand I think it just looks spectacular and one of the things that I really like about it is that when you press the home button you're no longer taken to your home screen it takes you right back to whatever folder you were in when you when you originally launched the app let's go and check out series so Siri now has the ability to do a couple of new things we can now pick language so if we wanted Siri to have maybe a British accent we could pick English United Kingdom and we can also pick if you have English u.s. you can actually pick the gender of series so we can pick a male Siri or a female Siri so if we wanted to pick male let's do that and let's go and boot up Siri Siri what is Star Wars about it's about a couple of really nice robots who get mixed up in a silly intergalactic war so there we have a male Siri telling us what Star Wars is about funny and on an Easter Egg if you didn't know Siri would tell you of funny stories about movies with robots in them so yeah that's pretty much it will let's try to get the the parallax feel of this I'm trying to find the best way to sort of show it off but you can see it's very subtle and if you're into something a little less subtle you can go into your settings and your brightness and wallpaper and there are actually dynamic wallpapers so very similar to live wallpapers and Android you have this wallpaper preview you can set this as your lockscreen your homescreen or both so let's just set it as both because we can so now when we go back to our home screen you can see it's alive its living another thing they've gotten rid of is you'll notice if you swipe this way there's nothing there you can't search but actually it's just right here you just slide down just a little bit and now you can search iPad we also have a new flatter keyboard but pretty much the same that we've seen before if we double click on the home button we can get our multitasking windows up and this is obviously something very new to iOS 7 before I used to have the dock bar where you could just swipe through your app icons you couldn't actually see what was on the screen or where you left off now you can see so if I want to go back to this lovely our lovely dog friend in his red shirt costume with Vulcan ears we can do that and then we can switch right back to anything else that we were doing which is pretty cool we're big fans of that and it's a lot easier to navigate and remember what you were doing in a particular app so so that's always a nice feature to have and one that iOS users have certainly been asking for so that is a very short tour of iOS 7 for iPad I'm sure as time goes on the Apple developers and everybody working on iOS 7 to make sure that it is bug free will smooth out a lot of the kinks that are happening I know we've had a lot of reboots and things like that but it has to be expected on an early beta for something so that is ios7 and we hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you next video you
