It’s September 18th and Apple is rolling out the much awaited iOS 7 update to compatible devices. If you own an iPod, iPhone or iPad which could run iOS 7, you should see the update. You can navigate to Settings > General > Software Update to check if you’ve received an update.
The new version of OS brings in about 200 new features and a completely new UI, which has been designed by Apple’s own Johny Ive. The OS was heavily criticized when it was demoed during this year’s WWDC, but then, a lot of people’s views turned around when they actually got their hands-on with the OS.
