Sneak Peek At iOS7

So it seems to be much more social network oriented as it is now? Apple disabled video commenting. I actually wanted to read what people will say about it.

I have a developer account and a few people at work also have it installed. I have it on an extra iPhone4 (lowest it supports so some stuff is disabled). It looks so much nicer, the interface for some things changed. Having the extra toggles to pull up from the bottom is really nice to have built into the OS instead of installing a jailbreak tweak to have them there. The 3D background is useless but awesome to try and have. The way photos are organized now is confusing for most at first but it gets better the more you use it. There's no real push moreso than what iOS6 had to social networking. It's just available to you in an easier form. The little things you don't even notice on your iDevice anymore has changed such as unlock animation, app open animation, multitasking animations. They all relate to the position of the icon that was launched/closed/etc. A huge one for me is folders, you can now have pages in your folders without a jailbreak. No more limitation to a few icons!

That's really all I can comment on so far.
 
I'm excited for the changes. They may just mostly be aesthetic, but a lot look like they will make the device easier to use too.

The OS was due for a major redesign and I think this might be the refresh Apple needed. Hopefully their other products continue to improve even though Steve is gone and someone else has to have the power to make final decisions.
