Since the announcement of iOS 7 at Apple's WWDC earlier this year fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the new operating system. Well fans, wait no more! The release for iOS 7 will happen today and we will tell you how and when to download the new iOS 7 for your device. Apple's new software will roll out onto Apple's devices, though only from the latest models onwards, starting from the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and latest generation iPod (scroll down to the bottom of this article to see a chart of all compatible devices).
In addition, iOS 7 will of course be available on the new iPhone models - the 5S and 5C - from their release date on 20 September. The new software is unlike anything Apple has done before and it is a much needed step in the right direction. The company not only displayed a brand new "flat design" but also corporate responsibility seeing how this is the first iOS overseen by Jony Ive, previously Apple's lead industrial designer. iOS 7 will feature a new look, more controls, updated camera with new photography options, better safari, will add air drop and so much more.
The update will be available to users starting today and will be an over the air (OTA) update. With the download easily found under your iPhone or iPad's setting menus. Just navigate from 'General' to 'Software update' and you're all ready! Might be best to update over Wi-Fi to save on your data charges though. It's also a smart idea to back-up your device just in case something goes wrong. You can back up via iTunes or iCloud.
