With iOS 7 shown today at WWDC 2013.

What are you favorite features so far? Anything you were wishing for, and you now have?


In my opinion Apple hit it out of the park so on this Keynote.

I'm so happy I came back to the iPhone. I knew they could do it. Can't wait for ios7. My only disappointment is that it's not available for download right NOW LOL it has all the features I ever wanted in an iPhone. Can't wait! Very happy :)

I was hoping for third party keyboards. Hopefully notifications will keep quiet while on the phone with iOS 7.

I was not expecting Apple to introduce 3rd party keyboard support, but I would have welcome them, especially the Swype keyboard. Still, I'm proficient with the native keyboard so it's not a big deal for me. As for the notifications, let us hope they work well for all of us.

What features of iOS 7 will only work on the iPhone 5? I know I saw at least one and I can't remember what it was. I'm only talking phones and not iPads.

Overall, looks very Google-ish, especially the new color scheme (not really a bad thing - just an observation). I wish there were some improvements to contacts and group management (there's still hope even though it wasn't mentioned, right?). Other than having to go through iTunes to load music onto the phone, that's the one thing that makes me want to smash my phone into pieces. There were definitely some improvements to notifications and quick settings, but it just seems like they are catching up to some of the other OS's in that regard. I still enjoy the stability of the iOS platform and the app quality is still the best by far. Now, if only macbooks weren't so damn expensive.

I watched the iOS 7 part again and I see it's airdrop that is only for the iPhone 5. Did anyone see anything else that is 5 only?

Thanks!

So airdrop and filters in camera seem to be the only features I will miss out on with my 4S. I can live without those. The more I read and watch about iOS 7, the more I love it!

Looks like apple finally admitted what the market has been saying for months, innovation here is dead. Nothing new, all the "innovations" are swiped from android, windows phone and yes *gasp* blackberry. Apple has fallen behind.

Gee, it's a wonder at all that you formed this "opinion" with such a username....
