5 Things I Love about iOS 7.


1. New camera features. 

The camera is fast, like really really fast! Not only does it take photos as soon as you touch the shutter button, but if you hold the button down, it takes multiple photos. 

2. Instagram like filters.

Filters have been added to the camera app. Love them all!

3. Photo capture.

There are now three capture modes for still photography: the standard photo, a new square frame, and 'pano' for capturing horizontal or vertical panoramas. 

4. Photo library.

The photo library has evolved - it now categorizes photos by year(s), collections and moments.

5. AirDrop. 

This neat feature lets you share photos instantly with one (or more) of your friends.

With all of these fun new features, I can justify keeping my iPhone 5 for another year and not shelling out a few hundred more for the 5S. What are your favorite things about iOS 7?

  1. I don't have an iPhone, but it's my birthday soon & I need a new phone, so I'm thinking about getting one. Worth it? Not sure which one I'd get, though.

    1. I had a blackberry before, worst decision EVER. I don't like the size of the samsung galazy (its huge!); the iPhone is perfect. I love the camera and all the apps. I will never switch! The 5s has some pretty sweet features, but if you don't want to shell out the cash, I would go for the 5. If the 5s changed the camera to 12 megapixel, then I would consider the upgrade. Hopefully the 6 will have the better camera!

    2. Yeah, I don't like the size of the Samsung Galaxy either, which is why I've been leaning towards iPhone,...hmmm...we'll see. Thanks for the advice!

  2. The camera IS SUPER FAST! I took like 3 photos because it was fast! :) Have you had a problem with texting (imessage on/off)?

    1. No I haven't. I did before the upgrade though because I had iMessage on both my iPhone and iPad. I had an instance where I never received a msg on my phone, but on my iPad instead (the next day). Since then, I turned it off on my iPad.

  3. I just used the camera for the first time since the upgrade and you are right- so fast! It is a bit dizzying with the transitions though.

    1. I agree, but you get used to it! For the most part, I am quite impressed with all the updates!

  4. I love so much about iOS7. So far, the calendar has been the hardest to get used to, but I'm hoping I can fiddle around with it to find a happy medium.

    1. I had a quick look at the calendar the other day and found myself a little frustrated after a few seconds. lol It's just a minor thing to get used to!
