iOS 7 to most appears to be a brighter and lighter face lift over iOS 6.
But actually it is a lot more. Apart from its 64 bit architecture support and the A7 and M7 chips inside the iPhone 5S, there are still approximately 100 new API’s under a non disclosure agreement that having been made public, even to developers.
The M7 coprocessor manages the sensors and does this without using the full power of the A7 processor. So what is Apple keeping secret from everyone with iOS 7 and these processors?
1. Game Controllers – expect to read and see more of this. This will be a game changer, excuse the pun. Playing games with a game controller creates a whole new experience. It will also be the death of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP Vita.
2. Sport accessories – expect to see more sport related accessories and apps
3. iWatch – hidden APi’s to reveal the extra functionality
4. Cross device syncing instantaneously
5. New hardware support for future devices.
So what else do you think will arrive?
