Find out how you can expect your iPhone to improve with Apple's new iOS 7 operating system.
One of the major reasons some of us will be excited to try out iOS 7 is for the fresh look it’ll give our handsets, with Apple promising new fonts and colour schemes. But it’s not just a cosmetic overhaul that’s set to be officially rolled out next month, as a number of practical updates have been included too, which might encourage some to consider purchasing one of the 4G mobile phones.

Airdrop
Sharing photos is set to become easier than ever on the new operating system, as Airdrop allows you to do thiswirelessly with any iPhone (http://shop.ee.co.uk/mobile-phones/pay-monthly/apple-m/) or iPad nearby. There’s no need to upload to a service or even be on the same wi-fi network to do this, so taking a snap and passing it on to your friends should be a much quicker process.
Siri gets better
Whether you’re a Siri fan or otherwise, the voice search features is set to become better. You’ll be able to search Twitter, Wilkipedia and Bing using the service, so finding the information you need won’t require you to go online or search with an app manually.
In addition to this, Siri has new male and female voices (http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/06/24/siri-gets-new-voices-beta-2/), which sound much more natural than the existing the offering. It remains to be seen whether the changes will see Siri edging ahead of Google Now in the popularity stakes, but it’s likely we’ll find out in the coming months.
Swiping and scrolling
In the past it was necessary to jab the back button with your finger to return to a webpage you were previously viewing. However, in iOS 7 you’ll be able to do simply by swiping your finger from left to right. It’s a minor change, but one that should make using the device a far more fluid experience.
Similarly, when you turn on your phone it’ll no longer be necessary to push the specific tab to the right, but rather to just swipe to the right anywhere on the display. The spotlight feature is also easier to get to, as no more will you need to go all the way to the left. You can simply pull top to bottom wherever you are to search the handset.
Have you tried the iOS7 beta versions for yourself? If so, what are your thoughts on them? Has Apple done enough to please new and old users alike, or does it need to start getting a little more innovative to avoid people switching to 4g phones by other manufacturers?
This is the first in a series of pieces that Mobile Entertainment is running in association with EE.
