Hi,
At the moment I'm running iOS 7.0 on my 4S (works well so far).
For those who're planning to upgrade or in the middle of the
upgrade, here are some things to expect:
* Control Center: you need to first focus on the status bar then
swipe up with three fingers. From Control Center, you can change
the following: Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb,
AirPlay (if you're playing music), AirDrop (if you have iPhone 5
and iTouch 5 or later) and control music playback.
* Container rotor: If you have iPhone or iTouch, when you first
start iOS 7, in certain controls, VoiceOver will play container
entry sound (the same one that is present on iPad) to let you
know you're in a container - a group of related controls. You
can move to different containers (or groups) by switching to
container rotor and doing one finger flick down (nextgg/up
(previous).
* App Store: when you perform app updates, to see what's new in a
given update, double-tap the name of the app. Speaking of app
updates, we have a number of app updates as expected, including
Skype (which now allows you to join a group call straight from an
iDevice), Twitter, Prizmo and so on.
* New gestures: As Scott mentioned, VO adds a number of handy
gestures, including VoideOver Practice (four finger double tap).
To exit this mode, do either: two finger scrub (back) or four
finger double tap.
* Notification Center: To restore old behavior of showing missed
notifications, select All button (by default, it opens a calendar
like view to show you what's coming up for today).
* Settings: Cellular toggle is now on the main Settings screen
between Bluetooth and Personal Hotspot.
* Status bar: If you're connected to wireless networks, VoiceOver
will now announce the SSID (name) of your wireless network (not
to be confused with cell carrier network).
Notable fixes:
* Mail app focus issue: In iOS 6 series, when you open a message
then return to InBox, VO went to topmost message; this focus bug
has been fixed (in 7, after you close the message, it'll return
you back to messages list with the currently read message on
focus).
Current bugs:
* Screen lock: when you lock the screen, VO will take up to a
second to announce "screen lock." Previously, VO said this right
after you press sleep button to lock your unit.
* Unlock gesture: if you do three finger swipe right to unlock
the device, VoiceOver will say, "page 1 or (number)" (usually 2).
* Vocalizer stuttering: It could be just my device (or 4S in
general), but when Vocalizer (the synthesizer used in VoiceOver)
speaks, it has some stutter in it (could be due to the fact that
Apple did experiment with Vocalizer Expressive Compact voice, so
perhaps that remnant is present). (I might add that Vocalizer
now has slightly better inflection when speaking).
* Siri responses (except older devices): Previously, when Siri
returns, VoiceOver would read everything, including what Siri
would have said and the actual contents of the screen. This is
not the case in iOS 7 in that VO does not read what should have
been read after Siri finishes speaking (for example, when
querying weather, VO does not announce the forecast or current
conditions, something it did before).
Thanks.
Cheers,
Joseph
