Apple iOS 7 guide - How to update, navigate and everything else

Apple’s new iOS 7 is out today for download. Here’s everything you need to know about updating to the new software.

Compatibility: iOS 7 will support iPhone 4 and later, ipad 2 and higher, iPad Mini, and iPod Touch fifth generation.  So for everyone with an iPod 4th generation, sorry the update is not for you. Of course iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will be launched with iOS 7 .

How to upgrade:   To update go to settings, click on software update, hit download and install and pray that the Apple servers don’t disappoint you. Do note that you will need WiFi to the update. Alternately you can connect your iPad/iPhone to your Mac/Windows device and update via iTunes. You will need the latest version of iTunes for the update.

Closing apps: Apple’s iOS 7 is all about swiping. To close apps, you don’t have to go to the bottom bar anymore. To see the task manager, simply swipe in the centre of your iPad (bottom to top and with four fingers) and the task manager will appear. To close an app, just swipe the app to the top and it will disappear. To close an app while you are using it, you can still pinch to close.
