9. Why is iOS 7
important?
@itexico

10. FAST UPDATE CYCLE
70% of iOS users are on iOS 7
More people were using beta versions of iOS 7 than were on iOS 5
148 million iOS devices running iOS 7.0 after only 1 day.
In contrast, iOS 6 had been running on around 460 million iOS devices worldwide.
@itexico

11. FRAGMENTATION
The market behaves differently between
the main mobile platforms
vs.
Around 30% still on Android 2.3
564,000 Android devices are running the 2 month old Android v4.3
Only 48 million Android devices are running the nearly 12 month old v4.2.
@itexico

12. AN INDUSTRY TREND
Most top 100 apps have already updated their app to fit

DEFERENCE
The user interface helps users understand and interact with the
content, but never competes with it.

CLARITY
Text is legible at every size, icons are precise and lucid, adornments
are subtle and appropriate, and a sharpened focus on functionality
motivates the design.

DEPTH
Visual layers and realistic motion heighten users’ delight and
understanding.

37. Benefits for the
Enterprise
@itexico

38. ENTERPRISE
Find my Phone - Remote lock and wipe.
App Store License Management - Treats an App as a software
license vs. an object purchased and tied to a User/device.
Enterprise Single Sign On - Single sign on for Enterprise Apps
Auto Update - Important for security, user experience, App
management
Data Security via Encryption - App data can be encrypted until the
first time a user passcode is successfully entered after a device
reboot; Additionally, developers can have apps encrypt the data again
when the phone locks.
@itexico

39. ENTERPRISE
Open-in Management - Allows IT to specify which Apps
can open which file types
Air Drop - Productivity
iBeacons - Low power enabled Bluetooth. Opens many
Internet of things use cases.

VPN and which can access the internet directly.
