Lynn, if I am correct, the only significant functionality missing on iOS
7 under older phones, even the 4s, is the Airdrop feature, which I'm
sure you're familiar with on the Os X platform. For others, it allows
certain files to be transferred from one iOS device to another, over
bluetooth or wifi. These files can include contacts, media including
photos, and I believe links to iTunes Radio stations for those living in
the U.S. The other significant function, only available in the 5s, is
the ability to unlock your phone and authorize iTunes purchases just by
using your fingerprint. The obvious reason for this is only the iPhone
5s has a fingerprint sensor built into the home button.
Hope this helps.

Hello everybody
Firstly, let me just say that I’m not interested in what the “fat cats” and the
professional analysts say; I’m looking for genuine user opinion here. I just
wondered what you all make of iOS7.02 now that it is public, in terms of
accessibility primarily, and functionality as a secondary topic. Speaking as
somebody with vision, on the outside looking in as you might say, it seems to
me that Apple has maintained its reputation and commitment as far as iOS is
concerned, to accessibility. Although I haven’t gave much of an opportunity to
play around with VoiceOver yet, from the visual perspective iOS7.02 is
gorgeous. I love the way that applications can now interact, and the gestures
which were there in iOS6 have been improved upon. Of course, Apple’s errors
which only came to light when iOS7 hit the streets were a little embarrassing
for them I would think. But in fairness, they did move swiftly to address them
and now, we would seem to have as secure a mobiles operating syste
m as we
can reasonably expect.
I do have one query though. I remember reading in the release notes that there
are a small number of functions which only apply to the iPhone5, iPhone5C and
iPhone5S. Is there anybody who has upgraded since the release of iOS7 to an
iPhone5, iPhone5C or iPhone5S from an earlier model and has noticed a
significant increase in functionality? If so, what were the significant
differences that you noticed?
I am toying with the idea of upgrading all of our iPhones to the 5S. But I seem
to remember that there is no longer a 64GB model available. Our iPhones are
currently all the 4S 64GB models. They work fine, and if I’m going to upgrade
there’s have to be significant reasons. Yes, the dual cameras would be nice,
but not essential.
I very much welcome your input, and I hope that we can maintain a cordial and
productive discussion.
Warm regards
Lynne
