Hi,

iOS7 from Apple will be available for download on Wednesday 18th of September 2013.

The update will be available for :

Now is the time to carry out some homework on this release, as its not just an update to iOS6 , its a full UI overhaul.

Ensure your idevice battery is 80% +

If your low on internal memory then think about deleting unused apps, music, videos, pictures, tones and e mails etc, to allow the update to proceed.

First update your iTunes to the newest availabe version.

You can achieve this by opening up iTunes and clicking on.... 'Check for Updates'

Carry out a sync of your idevice.

Then create a back up to iTunes and iCloud, or both.

Then when you hook up your idevice to iTunes and click on the device name, if the iOS7 update is available, you will see the appropriate message saying so.

Be patient as Apples servers will be maxed out, and as such the update may not be available to you at first. Keep checking.

Ensure you have left enough down time for the update to complete.

Sit back and wait  

Any users who have jail-broken their idevices are advised to abstain from updating.

The extra security feature to stop people from restoring a found iPhone as it now nneds the original apple i.d used on it.

The call blocking feature too.

The control centre will be useful.

The tab view in safari looks nicer.

Siri is eventually out of Beta.

Ive used iOS7 tweaks for a few months and like the UI overhaul.

Occasionally an app comes up with an update that then makes it incompatible with older iOS options.

I have a 1st generation iPodTouch on iOS3.1.3 and wont go any higher meaning a lot of appswont download onto it.

Apple started asking developes for the app updates for iOS 7 a few days ago.

This is some new information on the subject.
