From what I heard, you can't unlock the phone until your term from the carrier is up.

iOS7! time to buy an iphone lol.

shenmecar 06-10-2013 10:33 AM

Whats this I hear? Custom keyboard on the iPhone?

Razor Ramon HG 06-10-2013 10:58 AM

Activation lock.. interesting.

Acura604 06-10-2013 11:42 AM

New Look:
◾iOS 7 has a new font leading the way, which seems to be a sort of Helvetica Neue Ultra. It’s very skinny, clean, and it was hinted at in the iOS 7 banners that went up for WWDC yesterday.
◾Instead of white bars on a black background, Apple will now tell you what kind of service coverage you have with five little dots, which are white and grey depending on how strong the signal is across a translucent background.
◾The lock screen is changed for the first time in iOS’s history, with no more shine top or bottom bars for slide to unlock or the clock. Instead, Slide to unlock is translucent above the background image.
◾Default app icons are now flatter, but not quite flat, just as predicted.
◾Jony Ive’s hand has had its way with iOS notifications. The notifications panel isn’t laced with dark grey linen anymore, but actually has a very flat look to it. There is a today view, that lets you see friends birthdays, upcoming invitations, calendar, stocks, and a quick look at tomorrow.
◾The apps all seem to have a white base, except for the stocks app which has a black background and the weather app, which shows motion in the background to convey the current weather.
◾The keyboard is more white, than grey, with a translucency that lets you see what’s underneath the keyboard.

New Features

Control Center
◾Control Center is a pull-up tray that is available in your lock screen.
◾You can adjust brightness, volume, and other settings including Wifi, Airplane mode, rotation lock, or Bluetooth.
◾The Control Center even offers a flashlight, along with tabs for music, camera, and other quick-access apps.
◾The Control Center takes on the environment it’s in, so if you swipe up while you’re in mail, it will have the same blue and white coloring under that translucent panel.

Multitasking
◾iOS 7 lets you multitask between all third-party apps with much better battery consumption.
◾You can double-tap the home button to enter into multi-tasking mode, just like always, but the interface for multitasking has been revamped. It appears to offer live previews, but Apple wasn’t clear about that.

Safari
◾Safari opens straight into full screen mode now, with the option to pull down to bring up the search bar at the top.
◾The search field has been improved to be a unified smart search field, which lets you have access to all your favorite websites with a single tap.
◾Tabs come with a totally new interface, scrolling in a vertical carousel, and there are no longer any limits. In other words, you can have as many tabs as you want, as opposed to just 8 like before. Swipe a tab off to the side to throw it away.
◾The new Safari is integrated with iCloud keychain from OS X Mavericks, and also comes with parental controls.

AirDrop
◾You can share sharesheets with other people by simply tapping their name. No NFC required.
◾Airdrop supports iPhone 5, iPad 4th gen, iPad Mini

Camera And Photos
◾The Camera app lets you swipe between your various camera types, such as panorama or HDR so you can quickly take a pic instead of fumbling around with settings.
◾Photos marks the first update to the photo gallery on iOS since it was introduced.
◾You can search based on date, and location, within the photos app.
◾Instagram must be flattered — Apple has introduced photo filters so you can add a little professionalism to the picture.
◾Users can share via AirDrop, iCloud photo-sharing, as well as shared Photo Streams.
◾You can even share video with iCloud photo-sharing.

Siri:
◾Siri has a new voice! It sounds similar, but also weird. You can choose a male or female voice, if you like. Voices include languages like French, German, and other languages “over time.”
◾The visual UI has also been upgraded, with a sound wave going along the bottom.
◾Siri has also been integrated with settings, letting you tell her to turn on bluetooth, or lower the screen brightness.
◾The company has also added support for Twitter, Wikipedia, and shows web search results direct from Bing.

iOS in the Car
◾iOS in the Car depends a lot on Siri.
◾It puts the iOS homescreen on the screen of your car, and lets you search for directions, listen to music, etc.

App Store
◾You can now search for apps based on location. In other words, search for apps by the Louvre and see a lot of French museum apps.
◾The App Store also automatically updates apps for you in the background now. Hallelujah again!

iTunes Radio:
◾Apple has finally introduced the much-anticipated iTunes Radio, which gives a Genius-like experience to the entire 26-million title iTunes catalog.
◾You can see the full list of songs on each station by clicking history, with purchase and preview buttons built right in to send you to the iTunes store.
◾iTunes Radio also lets you customize each station by clicking a star to show that you want more of this type of music.
◾iTunes Match users will get an ad-free experience, but others will be able to use the app for free with a few audio and text ads.

Activation Lock:
◾This is for those of us who have had an iPhone stolen.
◾If a thief steals your phone and tries to turn off Find My iPhone, they can no longer turn the device back on without your iCloud password.
◾Users can also block messages and calls from other users.

Looks like people won't be getting lost anymore when receiving directions...

IOS 7 kinda looks like a Windows operating system.

DanHibiki 06-10-2013 02:51 PM

I liked the non-flat look of iOS but still welcome this change.

fuck can't wait. I still wish that there would be widgets and quickreply feature.

Start a new thread?

murd0c 06-10-2013 03:12 PM

When is this iOS coming out?

ForbiddenX 06-10-2013 03:13 PM

^Should be coming out in the fall.

Developer preview out now though

Verdasco 06-10-2013 03:51 PM

how do ppl use the developers preview? newb iphone user here..

DanHibiki 06-10-2013 03:53 PM

You need a dev account with apple. Costs $99.

Any devs wanna let me in on the beta? :)

DanHibiki 06-10-2013 06:55 PM

I think it's over looked but "push triggers" is a great implementation. It was always annoying when u click on a notification, go into the app, then wait for that same notification to load up in the app. This makes things feel so much faster and smoother now.

It seems like the first step to implementing quick reply on any msg app besides iMessage.

Bitesms was great but only worked on the iMessages app because its always running in the background. But with this new feature hopefully the jailbreak community will find a way to make it work on any msg app.

I'm actually surprised apple didn't try to implement that. As far as I know no other mobile OS has this feature and it could have gave them the one leg up on their competitors that they needed. This woulda shut some of the apple haters up.

Nice job ripping off the bokeh wallpaper HTC started using in 2009 :lawl:

New iOS in action here:


Hopefully I can grab the dev beta from work tomorrow, I'd love to give it a whirl.

LiquidTurbo 06-10-2013 09:06 PM

The activation lock feature is really awesome deturrent. Makes stealing an iPhone pretty much pointless.

So.. even if someone swipes an iphone.. removes the sim card and
puts in their own... its still dead in the water?

I hope so..unless a future jailbreak negates this feature (why would u?), I would love to see these jerk off thieves realize 'ah shiz.. now what?' while
sitting with a useless iphone they just made off with.

threezero 06-12-2013 01:28 PM

So with the activation lock thieves can't just go and restore the your phone with iTunes?

previously its soooo easy to bypass the find my iphone "security" feature that made it completely useless in terms of trying to recover your phone...

I think what Apple is doing that any time an iPhone is restored, it HAS to call the mothership to verify. The activation sorta does that already. It just added another personal (owner) layer to it.

followed this and it worked for me on 4s

You won't even be able to restore a phone (or do a factory reset) without first entering your ID/password.

Won't stop all thefts, though. People could still steal phones to use for spare parts, though that's not nearly as lucrative as selling an actual working phone.

Some blogs are trying to scare people and say this will prevent you from being able to sell your used phone/tablet. I doubt it - it would be the same as giving a phone to a family member. Apple will have to allow you to change the ID attached to a phone otherwise people could never upgrade to newer devices and keep their e-mail. Most likely you use your credentials to perform a factory reset and then you'll be allowed to enter a new ID to use with the phone (just like it works now).
