Apple has introduced iOS 7 and a bucket of shiny, new features at WWDC in San Francisco. The new update to iOS 6 promises to deliver a new operating system later this year. While many are excited for the overhauled software, the big question is whether it will work on your current iPhone or whether you will need to upgrade your Apple smartphone to benefit.
As with any new version of iOS, Apple has made much of iOS 7 only available to a select few iOS devices. Apple's iOS 7 is still in beta and will not publicly release until this autumn, but now is the ideal time to figure out which iOS devices can update to the new OS, whether to plan for an upgrade, or whether the upgrade is even worth it.
iOS 7 supported devices
Apple's forthcoming iOS 7 update will work on the following devices:iPhone
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPad 2
- Third-generation iPad with Retina
- Fourth-generation iPad with Retina,
- iPad mini
- Fifth-generation iPod touch.
It's also not that simple. If you've got an iPhone 4 running iOS 7 you might still not get everything. Apple has also had to limit some of the features some users get in the new iOS due to certain hardware constraints.

Camera app: Panorama, Swipe, Square and Live Filters
The Camera app in iOS 7 offers panoramic shooting, which first launched in last year's iOS 6, the ability to swipe to quickly capture a photo, and new Square capture that simply frames the shot like Instagram. Speaking of Instagram, the Camera app will also boast live previews of retro-looking filters in iOS 7.Panoramas are available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and fifth-generation iPod touch, while swipe to capture and Square will work on iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, third-generation iPad with Retina, fourth-generation iPad with Retina, iPad mini and fifth-generation iPod touch.

As with videos, users won't be able to apply filters to Panoramas at capture. However, they can apply filters with the updated Photos app that will also add all panoramic shots and videos to their own respective folders.
