iOS 7

The book I read to research this post was The Complete iOS 7 User Guide by Peter Hills which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. iOS 7 is the latest operating system released by Apple in 2013 for devices such as the iPod touch, iPad & iPhone although there software can often be updated it only works on the more recent models. It requires a certain amount of hardware to work but you can download it on a computer and install it on these. Some of the more popular new features are the icons for a start are clearer and there is a new version of iTunes which includes a radio service which streams music and while it is free with adverts, there is a paid option without ads. Another feature is facetime audio which is similar to skype but only with the apple devices. Facetime of course lets you make video calls. Siri is retained and lets you enter voice commands in your device as well as having a search facility where you can ask it questions. A new feature is your device will work with other devices whether that be transferring files or streaming stuff. It also has upgraded security where it can analyze your fingerprint in order to work as part of this and also uses passcode and password as security. By default if it is inactive for 48 hours you must enter the password and passcode to make it work which is designed to prevent theft. They have tried to put all your settings in one place. I did really enjoy this book and it is maybe a little but is quite interesting.
