Control Center: Quick access panel for common settings has been a much sought after feature for iOS users. Now you have access to controls for Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Do Not Disturb, and the ability to adjust screen brightness, pause or play a song with just one swipe from the bottom of your screen. This Control menu also gives you instant access to Clock, Camera, Calculator and the Flashlight.
Notification Center: iOS7 brings notification center to lock screen. Now you can see all your notifications with a simple swipe. The new Today feature in Notification Center gives you an at-a-glance view of your day with a summary of the important details such as weather, traffic, meetings and events.
Improved Multitasking: Developers have the ability to enable any app to multitask in the background with a new API. Users have the ability to switch between their apps in a more visual and intuitive way.
AirDrop: Apple brings file-sharing capabilities with AirDrop in iOS7. This is a new way to quickly and easily share content with people nearby. AirDrop shows you your contacts close by. AirDrop transfers are peer-to-peer so you can use it anywhere, without any network or set up required.
