To quit an app, just swipe it up and out of preview.

The new Safari on iOS 7 lets you scroll your tabs in a new Vertical Cover-flow type UI. One of the best features of iOS 7 Safari has to be the integration of iCloud Keychain.

So now selecting apps for toddlers will be easy. iOS 7 also keeps your apps up to date automatically so you don’t need to go into the App store and update them manually.
Apple has finally delivered on expectations for a lot of anticipating owners of ios Devices. Even though most of the features could have been implemented in previous edition of the mobile OS, Apple’s new iOS 7 brings a refresh to an almost stale OS in desperate need for change.
