Apple recently unveiled its latest mobile operating system for iPhones and iPads called iOS 7.
The operating system has a brand new look and several new features, but Apple didnt have time to go over all the changes during its big presentation last week.
So what didnt Apple tell us about iOS 7? Weve been using the beta version of the software for a few days now and uncovered a few lesser-known features.
Heres what you can look forward to.
1. Apple is experimenting with an easier way to move back a screen in apps. There have been signs that youll be able to use a swiping gesture instead of tapping a "back" button.
2. When you set the timer in the clock app, the countdown appears on your lock screen. Itll also show how much time you have left on your alarm if you hit the snooze.
3. The App Store now has a wish list. This is perfect for situations when you dont want to purchase an app right away but want to remember it.
4. The iCloud keychain was mentioned briefly during Apples keynote. The feature stores and encrypts your passwords and credit card information. iCloud keychains then syncs this data across all your devices. Youll never forget a password again.
5. Passbook, which stores virtual coupons and tickets, has been improved drastically. Now users can add cards to the app by scanning a QR code.
6. When shooting a video, you can now pinch to zoom.
7. Apple has added more accessibility features, making it easier to navigate the software. Now you can make text easier to read.
8. Wallpapers are now dynamic. This means you can set a panoramic photo as a background and move the device to see the whole picture.
9. iOS 7s icons subtly move too. If the motion is too much, you can turn it off in the settings menu.
10. When dialing a number, users can see their background as they press numbers.
11. Text messages now pull in links to phone numbers and calendar events. For example, if you text someone to "meet me at a bar tomorrow," the date will be underlined and linked so you can add it to your calendar.
12. iOS 7 uses a new type of multitasking, which allows apps to run in the background. You can control which apps you want to run in the background in the settings menu.
13. There are rumors that Apple will allow users to hide its built-in apps in case you dont want them cluttering up your home screen.
14. There are also rumors that users will be able to create a folder within a folder.
15. Some new gestures include the ability to pinch closed a folder and support for corner-swiping.

From Keyssa comes with “Kiss” is a wireless technology that could ensure that future smartphones can completely give up connections. Samsung and Intel are already among the companies that support the start-up. I must admit that I had not heard of a start-up called Keyssa to this day, although the guys have been around since 2009. Samsung and Intel are among the companies that could help ensure that Keyssa and mainly developed by the start-up technology called Kiss a lot more people could be a future term. Kiss is a wireless technology that allows it to transmit data can super-fast and secure – are talking here of up to 6 gigabits per second.

Were looking for the best phone with a sub-5" screen. At a time when the best features seem to only come with the largest display, theres a strange, almost rebellious feel to it. No need to tell you, were enjoying it. The Apple iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact are probably having the time of their life too. These three are not just exceptions to the rule. Theyre making their own rules. Its a sad reality for those who prefer compact - not small! - phones. Each year manufacturers come out with new features but like a movie sequel they feel compelled to go bigger than last time. Its how we ended up with 5.5" monsters being called "phones" (we can name several 5.5-inchers off the top of our heads, they are that popular). The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact opened up a whole new niche early this year by squeezing flagship specs in a smaller body. And it was only just starting - Sony came up with the Xperia Z3 Compact, which is easily one of the best-e...
