New iOS 7, Latest Iphone

Apple iPhone has rolled out the latest beta version of iOS 7 to developers. And it includes a string of tweaks that are set to make Cupertino’s new-look platform even sharper. The Settings app has been given a splash of colour, with icons no longer simply blue. It now looks much more polished and less like a work in progress. Control Center has also been granted some new features, with the ability to switch off the do-it-all function when using apps. That means users won’t accidentally swipe up and open the control page while gaming or flicking through tweets. Some code strings in the latest release of Apple’s iOS 7 beta software suggest that the next group of iPhones and iPads, expected to be released this fall, could have a fingerprint sensor built into the traditional home button. According to one source cited by 9to5Mac the fingerprint sensor will be used to lock and unlock the next generation of Apple devices, starting with the next iPhone. But Apple may have bigger plans for biometrically-enhanced mobile security. “A fingerprint that changes colour during the setup process._ “iPhoto of a person holding an iPhone with their right hand while touching the Home button with their thumb_Recognition is” “Sood tells us that the above strings are what an iPhone with VoiceOver on would read to a user,” Gurman writes. Another source, one “familiar with the development of the new iPhone,” according to Gurman, told him that the “user-interface for the fingerprint scanning system has been complete[d]. This person also says that the technology is focused around unlocking the phone, so it is unclear if it is built for a payment system (as rumored) in the next iPhone.” Other changes include minor tweaks to app icons like Twitter, a change in how names are displayed in Messages and a new look for the on-screen power off slider bar. iOS 7 is due to get its final release on the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPad around the same time as the launch of the next- generation iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Those devices are expected to be revealed at the end of September.
