Here's a word from a trusted Apple geek - John Gruber:
The design of iOS 7 is based on rules. There’s an intricate system at work, a Z-axis of layers organized in a logical way. There is a profound reduction in the use of faux-3D visual effects and textures, but iOS 7 is anything but flat. It is three dimensional not just visually but logically. It uses translucency not to show off, but to provide you with a sense of place. When you pull the new Control Center panel up from the bottom of the screen, its translucency lets you know that you haven’t gone somewhere new, you’re just looking at something over where you were.But there is one awesome new feature which I must give praise for - The Kill Switch!
The Kill Switch feature is a theft deterrent — if you lose your iPhone, or if some jack-ass steals it, you hit the kill switch and your mini-computer becomes a paper weight which can only get reactivated by you and no one else - though, I would just give it a few months before someone can crack that.
Apple also unveiled a new(old) subscription Internet radio service called iTunes Radio. Members will be able to personalize their music based on what they've listened to and what they've purchased on iTunes.
iTunes Radio will be free with advertisements, and will be available this fall in the U.S. A commercial-free version will be available for subscribers of Apple's iTunes Match music-storage service - costs $25 a year.
