What is the new iPhone firmware iOS 7?

Just recently, a new firmware iPhone - iOS 7. And, of course, all owners of "i-products" can not wait to try it on your device. True, there is still a beta version of the firmware, besides not for all devices - iPad and iPad mini owners will have to wait for the official release, but owners of some other tablet from the "apple company" will be able to enjoy the new system before its official release.

What novelties did this iPhone firmware bring?

The system finally has a new application - "Dictaphone". Some standard applications have also been updated, for example, an alarm clock button appeared in the reminders.

I also want to note a few important details: most of the system elements have been translated into Russian, and the performance of the whole system has significantly increased (this is expressed, for example, in the faster deployment of folders). The interface emphasizes minimalism.

The iOS 7 firmware includes updated versions of the "FaceTime" and "Photos" applications. And in Safari, built into the browser system , the list of search engines was supplemented by Yandex.

One of the most interesting technical innovations is the improved multitasking mode. Now the device tracks the most frequently launched applications and automatically loads them into memory.

There was also a new system for exchanging files between two devices via Wi-Fi. It's called AirDrop.

How to install the firmware iPhone?

As you already understood, at the moment only the beta version of the system is available, so not all tablets support it. Therefore, before installing iOS 7, double-check that your device is included in the list of supported devices. Recall that these devices belong to the following: iPhone 4-5, iPod Touch 5G, iPad 2-4 and mini, as well as Apple TV 2G and 3G. The rest, alas, will have to wait until the autumn of 2013 - then, according to rumors, a full-fledged system will be released.

To begin with, you will need the actual firmware for the iPhone to be downloaded. Be careful: on the official site it is not, so use only those resources in which you are sure, otherwise the downloaded file may not be what you were looking for.

Now, install the latest version of iTunes on your computer - you will need it to transfer the firmware to your device. Connect the device to the PC, start iTunes, go to the device menu, click the "Browse" tab, click the "Update" button. But do not rush to do it! In order for everything to work out correctly, you must first hold down the Shift (Windows) or Option (Mac) button. Now, without releasing it, click "Refresh". In the window that appears, specify the location of the firmware and confirm the choice of the update. Now you need to wait until the firmware is copied to the device and installed - it may take some time.

After the installation is complete, you can disconnect the device from the computer, but the Internet connection is still needed - it will be needed to initialize the tablet.

The firmware for the iOS 7 iPhone is configured in the same way as its previous, sixth version, so those who have an iOS upgrade experience should not experience this difficulty. Although people who perform this process for the first time, too, will cope without problems, because the adjustment process is a step-by-step, very understandable and affordable.

Try the nice and useful improvements of iOS 7!
