iTunes Radio has been added to the iPhone's music, and similar to Pandora and other personalized radio websites, it allows users to listen to music not in their library, but similar to their interests. From these stations you can easily save and purchase songs that you hear, as well as save stations you want to listen to again.

Messages took on a new look and may take some getting used to by long-time iPhone users.

Notification center also received a fresh look by again incorporating the translucent effect. You can access all your notifications or just the ones you missed, as well as easily view your calendar events and reminders for that day.

Airdrop connects to any online phones around you and uses wifi to send images between devices without exchanging phone numbers or email. Although, this feature is only available on iPhone 5's.

iOS 7 also changed the icons of many common applications, including classics like your Photos and weather. The new interface gave a fresh new look to the apps and added the effect of translucency to provide a more aesthetic appeal.

The new passcode screen first came with a glitch and could be bypassed through Siri, but with the new improvements users can keep out any unwanted guests.

iOS 7 greets iPhone users with a brand new interface, starting with the lock screen. From here you can access your notifications, control center, and Siri.
