Apple iOS 7 brings an all-new design and all-new features.
Simplicity
Simplicity is often equated with minimalism. Yet true simplicity is so much more than just the absence of clutter or the removal of decoration. It’s about offering up the right things, in the right place, right when you need them. It’s about bringing order to complexity. And it’s about making something that always seems to "just work." When you pick something up for the first time and already know how to do the things you want to do, that’s simplicity.
Control Center
Control Center gives you quick access to the controls and apps you always seem to need right this second. Just swipe up from any screen -- including the Lock screen -- to do things like switch to Airplane mode, turn Wi-Fi on or off, or adjust the brightness of your display. You can even shine a light on things with a new flashlight. Never has one swipe given you so much control.
Notification Center
Notification Center lets you know about new mail, missed calls, to-dos that need doing, and more. And a new feature called Today gives you a convenient summary of, well, today. One glance at your iPhone and you’ll know if it’s a certain someone’s birthday, if you’ll need an umbrella, or if traffic will slow down your commute. You’ll even get a heads-up on tomorrow. You can access Notification Center from any screen, including the Lock screen. Just swipe down. And get up to speed.
Multitasking
Multitasking has always been a smart way to switch between apps. Now it’s even smarter. Because 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 a.m. every day, your feed will be ready and waiting for you. That’s multitasking in iOS 7. It knows what you want to do before you do.
Camera
Camera in iOS 7 puts all your shooting formats -- still, video, panorama, and now square -- front and center. With a swipe, you can capture what you want the way you want. Fast. And new filters let you do even more with each image. Give it a retro feel. Dial up the contrast. Or go black and white. Artistic license is all yours.
Photos
Now there are faster, easier, and more delightful ways to scroll down memory lane. Introducing Years, Collections, and Moments -- smart groupings of your photos and videos based on time and place. Tap Years and all your shots fill the screen. Each year holds Collections, like your trip to San Francisco. And in that Collection are distinct Moments -- photos from Union Square, videos from AT&T Park. So you can find a shot from whenever, wherever, in no time.
AirDrop
Sending a photo or a document to someone via text or email is fine. But if that someone is right next to you, a text or an email suddenly feels like too many steps. Enter AirDrop for iOS. It lets you quickly and easily share photos, videos, contacts -- and anything else from any app with a Share button. Just tap Share, then select the person you want to share with. AirDrop does the rest using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. No setup required. And transfers are encrypted, so what you share is highly secure.
Safari
Browsing is bigger, better, and more beautiful with Safari in iOS 7. Buttons and bars -- like the unified smart search field -- stay hidden until you scroll to reveal them. So you see more content than ever on your screen. And with a swipe, you can go back or forward a page. It’s all designed so nothing gets in your way or slows you down.
iTunes Radio
iTunes Radio features streaming radio stations you’ll love from day one -- from the best selection of music. The more you listen, the more personalized it becomes. And it’s available on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV for free. It’s radio re-imagined.
Siri
Siri in iOS 7 gets a new look, a new sound, and new capabilities. It features a redesigned interface that fades into view -- on top of whatever’s on your screen. A clearer, more natural-sounding female or male voice makes Siri even easier to understand. It’s faster at answering questions and it checks more sources, such as Bing, Wikipedia, and Twitter. And Siri takes on extra tasks, like returning calls, playing voicemail, controlling iTunes Radio, and more.4
App Store
Apps Near Me -- a new feature of the App Store in iOS 7 -- shows you a collection of popular apps relevant to your current location. And the new Kids category lets you browse and buy the best apps for children based on age. iOS 7 also keeps your apps up to date automatically, so you don’t have to bother. Another bonus of automatic updates: no more little red badge begging for your attention.
Find My iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is.

I know the folks recommending to use these products to 'manage' the issue (read: "delete data to reduce the space taken up by Other") mean well, but a little caution is in order. These recommendations are rarely accompanied by specific information on what exactly one is supposed to delete. And unless a user is absolutely sure what they are doing when viewing the internal file structure of their device, they should not be mucking around.
The fact is, there is no clear "Other" folder or clear indication once you view the files on your device, exactly what is considered Other by iOS. Haphazardly going in and guessing and deleting files will potentially corrupt the built in indexes and DB of the device and totally destroy your sync indexing and actually make the problem worse by creating orphaned files that iOS has no clue is even there anymore.
In my experience, the stuff that makes up 'Other' is not the obviously named data that is clearly a movie file or music file, etc. it is the files with cryptic names in deep layers of cryptic folder names.
I am not trying to discourage use of these programs (I use TouchCopy myself), I'm just saying that novices need to be careful when considering remarks that using these programs will solve the problem of the ever expanding Other. IMO its like deleting files in the System/Library folder to free up disk space on your hard drive. will it free up more space? Yeah, it will....
The only safe solution I have found to reduce the space occupied by 'Other' is periodically doing a backup and then restore. Your settings and everything will get restored, then you just need to resync your apps, music, etc. This seems to put the device back to a pristine state. Over time, 'Other' will grow again. The more you sync (whether adding OR deleting) "Other" grows at a faster rate. Other can grow or stay the same even AFTER REMOVING content, which sounds counterintuitive, but supports the suggestion that Other is internal data related to caching, indexing, temp copies, app data, etc.
The web is full of pointers on how to do backup and restore to reduce the Other clutter, just search for it.

It allows you to meticulously control the "other" data you're talking about. It also allows you to archive your the threads and pictures which have accumulated over time in your messages app. These can really add up, especially if you're texting pics and videos back and forth. The fact that Apple doesn't include this functionality in iTunes is unconscionable, but at least it exists as a third party app at a fair price.
Did you use the term "snappier" tongue in cheek? Just curious because that term, as it pertains to OS updates, is a running joke amongst the Apple faithful for decades.
Also, FWIW, grammar nazi here... "allot" is actually spelled "a lot." It's two words with only one "L."

In iOS 7 apps has to refresh much more often than in iOS 6 when switching between them. Really irritating.
But you say one should have 20% free space on the iPhone 4S for it to run smoothly? Mine is pretty full (have 800 MB free now) but that wasn't an issue in iOS 6. Maybe iOS 7 wants more free space to work well?
Anyway, here's hoping that iOS 7.1 will be more optimized. I hear from beta testers that it is…

I wouldn't use IOS 7 on anything earlier than an iPhone 5, third gen iPad or similar. But with the method above you can try it out and change your mind,

7.0.2 can eat through my battery in record time on a 4s, and it won't connect to my LEAP+PEAP WPA2 network at work. FMTouch has also stopped syncing with my MBP both at work and at home.

-Multi-tasking vastly improved, much easier to flick away apps to close them than to awkwardly tap X's in the top left corner for minutes on end
-At a glance and quick settings much appreciated. Like the torch and calculator being added as well
-Keyboard feels easier to type on, I think there is more space now between the keys, not entirely sure!
Apple need to get their App store apps into gear now like iWork, iLife, Podcasts, iTunes U and make them flat design like iOS 7.

I have an iPhone 5S and an iPad mini 2, and they can't see the update.
how can I solve this problem?
Anyone else seeing problems? Any idea how to fix them if I don't want to update the devices?

Some instructions on how to install these files would be helpful.
Double-clicking on them does nothing. They appear to be iTunes plugins so I tried placing it in the iTunes plugins folder in the root library. Nothing doing...
Any tips?
