Camera and Photo apps updated in iOS 7

We all know that the camera is one of the most popular features on the iPhone, and Apple has poured some new ideas that should add to the joy of photography in iOS 7.

At WWDC today, Apple announced that the camera app has had a completely revamped GUI. I didn’t see a lot of new features, but different modes can be selected by swiping from a standard photo, to video, to panorama mode, to a 4 x 3 aspect ratio.

The big changes are in the iOS 7 photo app. For the first time, Apple is letting you apply filters directly. Apple has also enhanced finding photos with a concept called moments, so photos you have taken will be intelligently grouped by time and location.

Apple has also enhanced Photo Stream, with an improved GUI, the ability for others to drop photos into your stream and videos are now supported.

Those are just the highlights, and we will learn more in the days to come. It’s pretty clear that Apple has taken the best mobile photo system and improved it in several aspects.
