Activation Lock is another awesome feature you can find in IOS 7 features. If your apple device which is running on IOS7 is lost or stolen, this option may help you. The thief who stole your device will surely try to erase the data and even try to disable the find my phone. If he/she does so, phones locks automatically and forced to enter your iCloud login credentials.
However, there will be an option with Forgot password. The thief may try to get into your email account by any means. So, I recommend you to enable 2 step verification for your email account.
Something new with SIRI
SIRI, Steve Jobs funnily call it as Steve is really inside, has new options and got a complete new look. The voice of SIRI is changed a little bit and you can choose either male voice or female voice depending on your interest. A new sound wave gonna flow along the button letting you know that it has received an audio input.

Safari
As you know, Safari is the default browser for Apple devices. This time safari opens directly in the full screen mode to improve your experience. From recent pasts, you can open only 8 tabs but from IOS7 you can manage as many tabs you can. The user interface has been changed for these tabs as well. You can switch in between tabs in a vertical carousel, which looks awesome and professional.
IOS 7 has a back button (Kind of)
Most of the Android mobiles have a Back button as a hardware. IOS 7 has a kind of back button, but it is a gesture. You can get back to the old screen by swiping the screen to right side with your awesome and cute finger. It may won’t work at all screens. It works like a charm in Mail, Browsers etc.
