ios7Last week was full of important announcements from Apple, Microsoft, and Sony.

iOS7

Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last week and unveiled its new look to the iconic iOS. The new redesign was speculated on for weeks before WWDC as Jony Ive was expected to clean up the skeuomorphism and unleash a flat, minimalistic look–one that he delivered and was cheered by the audience.

In addition to the aesthetic changes, iOS 7 also delivers several new features such as a new Control Center (see image), redesigned Notification Center, multitasking, AirDrop, iTunes Radio, and more.
