iOS 7 is the biggest change to Apple's iOS since the arrival of apps in 2008. It's brighter, bolder and guaranteed to annoy anyone who thought iOS looked just fine, but there's much more to it than that dramatic new user interface. iOS 7 is packed with new features big and small. These are the highlights.

That new interface



Like it or loathe it, there's no denying that iOS looks very different. It's much more minimalist than before, with a distinctly flat look - check out the new Messages or Mail compared to the iOS 6 versions and the differences are obvious. Apps that haven't been designed for iOS 7 yet are going to look a little bit odd compared to the stark new Apple apps.The lock screen benefits from a parallax effect: move your phone and your wallpaper appears to move. Where the iOS 6 lock screen has two swipeable bits for unlocking your device or launching the Camera app, iOS 7 has four: unlocking, Camera, and two new swipes: swiping down from the top of the screen to see notifications, and swiping up from the bottom to bring up Control Center. Speaking of which...

Control Center



Control Center is something many iOS users have been clamouring for for ages: instead of wading through endless Settings screens to turn on features such as Airplane Mode, Control Center provides quick access to key features: Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb and Rotation Lock. It also provides media playback controls, Airdrop file sharing, and quick access to the phone's LED light and the Clock, Calculator and Camera apps.

Notifications have been given a major revamp: there are now three sections (swipeable left to right) headed Today, All and Missed. Today tells you what's on your schedule and includes cute details such as "it would take you about 9 minutes to drive home right now" and a summary of the weather forecast. All collates notifications of app updates, messages and so on, and as you might expect Missed tracks notifications of missed calls and notifications you didn't deal with. You can customise which apps can access Notifications in the Settings app.



Camera



The Camera app has been dramatically redesigned and offers four kinds of shooting: video, photo, square (for Instagram-style shots) and Pano (for panoramas). You also get Instagram-style filters for adding retro effects.

Photos



The Photos app has been redesigned too, and it can automatically organise your photos into what Apple calls Collections. The feature uses your device's GPS to sort photos not just by date, but by location - and it's smart enough to know the difference between the exhibition centre in one part of a city and the cinema in the city centre. You can also zoom out to see your photos by year, which is handy if you never, ever clear the pictures from your iOS device.

Spotlight search



Spotlight has been moved: to activate it, just pull down in the Home screen



Safari gets a much simpler interface that disappears completely as you scroll through pages, and the interface for switching tabs is more visual (and very similar to the new multitasking interface).



Bookmarks can access shared links from your Twitter feed, the address and search boxes have been combined into a single box, and iCloud Keychain can generate and store passwords and securely store your credit card details too.



You'll have to wait for that last one, though: Apple pulled it from the Gold Master release at the very last minute, and we're expecting it to appear when OS X Mavericks ships.

FaceTime



Good news for fans of FaceTime who'd rather not have, or whose connections aren't good enough for, video: iOS 7 now offers audio-only FaceTime.

Smart Mailboxes and easier mail management



Mail.app doesn't just get a cool new design. It gets some useful features too. Smart Mailboxes enable you to pin frequently-used mail folders for quick access, and swiping right to left on an email header gives you the choice of Trash or More. That latter option gives you Reply, Forward, Flag, Mark as Unread, Junk and Move options.

Multitasking



As with iOS 6 you can force-quit apps by double-tapping the home button to invoke the multitasking view, but in iOS 7 you dismiss them by swiping them upwards. Multitasking has been changed under the hood, too: according to Apple, "iOS 7 learns when you like to use your apps and can update your content before you launch them. So if you tend to check your favorite social app at 9:00 every morning, your feed will be ready and waiting for you."

iTunes Radio



The new iTunes Radio feature will supplement your music library with streaming songs, and if you're an iTunes Match subscriber it'll be ad-free. It'll feature personalised stations based on the music you already listen to, and more than 200 genre-specific stations. Apple promises exclusive previews of some new releases too.

Automatic App Updating



Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah once more! Keeping our iOS apps up to date was beginning to feel rather like gardening: time-consuming, tedious and utterly pointless. Now iOS lets apps update themselves, although you can disable the feature if you prefer to keep things manual.

The conclusion is that the iOS 7 is said to be better than its predecessors.

Quite a lot. Punk as a philosophy centers around rejection. Rejection of capitalism, socialism, politics, economics, aesthetics, logic and rhetoric. In its nature it brings this philosophy to the attention of others by being invasive, brash, vulgar and overstated. In short it attempted to "shock" people into acknowledging their values, or rather their lack of values. For example the use of the swastika was used to shock the generation who had fought against naziism, informing them that their struggles and sacrifices had ultimately been fruitless as society was still flawed at its core. Initially punk was associated with anarchism (NOT anarchy), and was quite left wing. It interpreted the legal system as part of the state apparatus by which the working classes were subjugated and oppressed. During the 80's however, it became associated with the far right, neo-Nazis, especially the anti-immigration platform in the UK and the skinhead movement in the US, where "Oy!" punk became almost synomymous with racism. This was in spite of the fact that most major punk bands, The Clash and The Jam for example, were very left-wing and sympathetic to the labour movement. They did mostly have to make little of their usually middle-class roots. Musically punk was both shocking and a rejection of the Shelleyan ideal of the artist as a genius, which had become common during the 70's as most bands contained at least one virtuoso and prog became popular. Expression was about emotion rather than skill and clarity and energetic play rather than actual musical talent became admired. Punk also largely ignored the mainstream record labels and released records independently or on small labels. Emo on the other hand is possibly an example of the first fashion trend to have been designed by corporate media. Major record labels profited from punk, but not as much as they felt they could have, and grunge caught them completely off guard (except Geffen), so they decided to create a new genre they could control from the off. It embraces much of punk and grunge anti-corporate sentiment, but has a largely peacful image, so that parents won't object. Musically it's not really a genre. Emo bands are bands that "look" emo rather than "sound" emo, though lyrical themes are common. It is aimed squarely at middle class teenagers, the easiest base to target, but the one that no record company can afford to misjudge (as they did during grunge). In terms of philosophy, Emo is utopian and oomphalic (yes that is a word, derived from the Greek world for "navel"). It seeks to create a community of like minded people who understand each other, as opposed to school, family and authority figure from whom Emo's feel disengaged. These communities are entirely accepting of kindred spirits and dismissive of, though not aggressive towards other groups. In short it's a perfectly acceptabel form of rebellion that parents will accept, even endorse, but which will make corporations millions, and also create an audience for acts that may not find one naturally (because they tend not to be very good). In terms of fashion, it combines the more benign aspects of goth, punk and skater. It short, it's a fabricated movement. Hope that explains a few things.
