\"000393<\/a>There\u2019s so much buzz about smart phones and tablet devices we expect to see in the coming months that one of the most significant mobile developments of the year: Apple\u2019s iOS 7 operating system. Sure, it\u2019s exciting that the iPhone 5 will apparently be coming out in a gold\/champagne color, and everyone\u2019s excited for the next Samsung Galaxy<\/a> device. But for the most part, rumors of new phones and tablets are actually limited in terms of specific features and upgrades. On the other hand, iOS 7 looks to be something of a game changer for Apple mobile products, and will make these devices more appealing and simpler (and more enjoyable) to use than ever. In addition to some basic design upgrades, here\u2019s a look at some of the coolest features we\u2019re about to have on our iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n

Control Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re like most iPhone users, there are a few little tasks that are always annoying. Having to go into \u201csettings\u201d to adjust brightness and turn WiFi on and off, for example, or having to scroll through your apps when you need a flashlight. These little annoyances will no longer be issues, thanks to Control Center<\/a>. Basically, this is a new menu of utilities that appears when you swipe up from any screen on your phone or device. The Control Center handles brightness, WiFi, music, airplane mode, your flashlight, and a few other basic features you often need on the spot.<\/p>\n

Photo Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a major pet peeve on Apple mobile devices. Simply put, the photo organization is dreadful (or really, non-existent). In fact, many iPhone and iPad users opt to simply hook their photos up to Sharefile<\/a>, or whatever cloud service is preferable, to transfer them to a computer where they can be organized more easily. But now, organization on your devices will be easier. Photos are now automatically organized into \u201cYears,\u201d \u201cCollections,\u201d and \u201cMoments.\u201d A Year may include any number of Collections (such as, \u201ctrip to New York,\u201d or \u201cMay Wedding\u201d), and in turn, a Collection will have specific Moments.<\/p>\n

AirDrop<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You know that \u201cBump\u201d feature that other smartphones are frequently boasting? It\u2019s the one that allows the transfer of contacts, information, and other data merely by touching phones, and truth be told it\u2019s pretty cool. Well, Apple is set to one-up this feature with \u201cAirDrop,\u201d which performs the same function, but through the air rather than physical contact. Your phone will recognize a compatible device and quickly share data through this fun new feature.<\/p>\n

Notification Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Much like the Control Center, this feature is available through a downward swipe on any screen. The Notification Center basically manages your day for you \u2013 putting all of your messages, alerts, appointments, notes and calendar in one easy pull down menu, all together. This may eclipse the need for popular calendar apps like Cal<\/a>, and should make your devices all the more helpful and \u201csmart.\u201d<\/p>\n
