iOS 7 Features Apple Didn’t Get a Chance to Talk About Today [LIST]
During its two-hour long WWDC 2013 keynote presentation, Apple was only able to focus on 10 key iOS 7 features. Here is a list of features that weren’t talked about but we can expect when iOS 7 goes public this fall (expect more info when the iPhone beta releases today for developers).
The complete list, starting with the larger items, taken from the following slide screenshot:
- FaceTime audio (free phone calls!)
- Activation lock
- Notification sync
- Per App VPN
- Tencent Weibo
- Phone, FaceTime and Message blocking
- Enterprise single sign-on
- Turn-by-turn walking directions
- View PDF annotations
- Italian, Korean and Dutch dictionaries
- Scan to acquire Passbook passes
- Inclinometer
- New Smart Mailboxes
- Long MMS support
- Managed app configuration
- Night mode for Maps
- Wi-Fi HotSpot 2.0
- Maps bookmark syncing
- Chinese-English Bilingual dictionary
- Smart download of TV episodes
- App Store Volume Purchase
- Do Not Track option in Safari
- Handwriting recognition for multiple Chinese characters
- Improved Mail search
- Streamline MDM enrollment
We would expect Apple to debut more of these features at a future special event in the fall, when the next generation iPhone 5S is expected to debut. FaceTime audio could be a huge feature to save your voice minutes and long distance as well. What are you most excited about in iOS 7?
