After a delay of one week due to the hacking of its Developers Center Apple has just released the iOS 7 beta 4 to its community of registered developers. The update is now available for download over-the-air through Software Update option within the Settings.app. The beta has been released for all iOS devices including iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

The new iOS 7 brings a new design and several features to one of the world’s most used mobile operating system. Apple has been seeding betas to test out the features of this radically designed OS and will eventually release it for everyone in the fall most probably with the release of the  next generation iPhone.

As people are installing iOS 7 beta 4 on their devices they are discovering the changes Apple has made to the iOS in this release. As seen in the screenshot below the lock screen has been changed so it does not look confusing and slide to unlock gesture looks familiar to what it was in iOS 6 and before that. (Image via)

Apple has also changed the answer/decline buttons that appear when someone is calling on your iPhone. The buttons now look less like Windows Phone and more like iOS, which is a good change.
