It’s that time again — time to decide y. You can bide your time, ignore the hype and just skip the longish wait times you’re likely to

It’s the biggest visual overhaul of iOS since Apple introduced the iPhone.

iOS debuted in 2007 with the first iPhone and it’s changed little since, visually speaking: applications shuffled around, some icon tweaking and polishing, an extra row on the iPad and iPhone 5, some nips and tucks here and there. iOS 7, by contrast, changes everything, the vanguard of Apple’s ostensible quest to liquidate skeuomorphic design (a fancy way of saying iOS calendars and notepads no longer resemble their physical analogues), a shift that’s as significant,
You don’t have to hunt for common settings anymore.

Swipe up from your iOS device’s bottom and you’ll conjure the new Control Center, a place to get at some of the phone’s most commonly adjusted features, from brightness to Airplane Mode to a new build-in flashlight that uses the phone’s camera LED (simultaneously eliminating your need for a discrete, ad-littered freebie flashlight app).

A much improved, customizable App Store.

Tired of having to manually update each and every app when that red notification number pops up in your home screen icon? iOS 7 lets you turn on automatic updates — problem solved! The new App Store also lets you search by age range, which, assuming vendors utilize it properly, should be a boon to parents wondering if an app is appropriate (both functionally and content-wise) for a two-year-old, five-year-old, 10-year-old and so forth.

Siri can now be a dude.

No, not the sort of dude that’s responding to your questions like Alfred Pennyworth, but a “personable male voice,” says TIME Tech’s Harry McCracken in his review. What’s more, Harry says Siri’s female voice sounds “sounds less robotic,” can multi-source content from additional sources like Bing or Wikipedia, and can present more info inline instead of launching another app.

Multitasking is significantly improved.

iOS has had multitasking — the ability to have multiple apps open simultaneously — since iOS 4, but through iOS 6 it’s had notable limitations. iOS 7 improves switching between as well as closing apps: no more stabbing at those tiny red circles — now you just swipe upward, or swipe with more than one finger to close multiple apps. You can also use updates while they’re updating.

Upgrading is free — and easy to do.

I know, what else is new about iOS upgrades — but some people don’t realize the gratis part. All you need to get your iOS 7 on is tap “Settings,” select “General,” tap “Software Update,” then follow the prompts.

And here’s the cons list:
so you mean apple is just starting to do all of these...android started all these since God knows when..

SaintTee:

You may but not really needed to back up but grab a cup of tea (or your favorite drink) and do sit down while its upgrading after the download.
