Oh, do I need to get new versions of all my apps?
If you want everything to look consistent with iOS 7’s new flat design, you can upgrade your apps to new versions optimized for iOS 7. This is how many of them look now.

If you want new flat look apps, some will require you to pay an upgrade fee. One new application that you need to download doesn’t run in your iPhone or iPad: get iTunes 11. It’s a must have if you’re still synchronizing your music with a USB cable, but also to quickly purchase apps that will automatically be wirelessly downloaded to your phone or tablet.

Anything else I need to know?
Yes, you may hate it. But most likely you will like the new functionality, and the new look will grow on you if you don’t like it now. Oh, and one more thing: you can easily change Siri’s—Apple’s assistant—voice.

I can’t upgrade, I’m sad
The good news is that you don’t have to upgrade to get iOS 7 features. You just need to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, then get the features from third party developers.

And remember, not everything is good in iOS 7 land, so don’t be sad. Some of the people who upgraded are sad too.
