iOS 7 is the seventh version of Apple's mobile operating system and is the successor to . It was announced at the company's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10, 2013, and was released on September 18, 2013. It includes a redesigned user interface and a number of changes to the operating system's functionality. The design of iOS 7's new elements was led by Jony Ive, Apple's Senior Vice President of Design.

iOS 7 was unveiled during the opening keynote of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10, 2013. Billed as the "biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone", the most noticeable change was an overhaul of the user interface. In a promotional video shown during the keynote, Ive described the update as "bringing order to complexity", highlighting features such as refined typography, new icons, translucency, layering, physics, and gyroscope-driven parallaxing as some of the major changes to the design. The design of both iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks (version 10.9) noticeably depart from skeuomorphic elements such as green felt in Game Center, wood in Newsstand, and leather in Calendar, in favor of flatter graphic design. The UI itself is not flat, but rather a multi-plane 2.5D zooming user interface. In his segment of the iOS presentation, Federighi emphasized ten major feature additions and changes.

The icons for iOS 7 were reportedly designed by Apple's marketing team, with them being told to design the apps around the color palette of the icons; straying from the usual design methodology of iOS. iOS 7 uses a similar color palette to that of the original Apple logo. It was also noted that Apple's website displayed different icons for several iOS 7 apps for a period of time, leading to speculation that the icons were already in the process of being changed as the design continues to develop.

iOS 7 supports the following devices:

  • iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S
  • iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 2, iPad Air
  • Apple TV 2nd and 3rd generation
