On Monday, Apple demoed iOS 7 to the world. It is a visual re-imagination of a new operating system for the iDevices, including iPod, iPhone and iPad.

First reaction was wow, this is a total redesign and quite drastic. Then some of the reason I tried jail breaking had been covered off with the introduction of the control centre. I liked the fact that the spotlight search was now accessed from within the notification centre. I then watched over the next few days critics and admirers leave their opinions.

What was clear from the initial negative comments was the lack or ignorance of those comments. The depth of iOS 7 did not lie in the visual but the 1,500 new APIs. These were the clues to what iOS7 might reveal. On Tuesday, I already covered off some of the hidden features, but there are considerable more to discover. Since Monday I have asked people at work and at various meetings which style of iOS did they prefer. The winner every time was iOS 7. These are not tech geeks, just ordinary people.

I for one really like the redesign. It is fresh, modern and incorporates enough new tweaks to make it very user friendly.
