And if we wanna talk about the really, reaaaaally little things:

in Clock.app, there are no longer coloured borders around the Start/Pause/Lap buttons, and they are now all on a white circular background.

Anxiously waiting until iOS is a plain white screen. The look went from bad to unfinished.
 
iOS 6 keyboard no longer appears in apps not updated for iOS 7.

Can you add attachments to an email from the Mail app yet? This is one of the more useful things that ios needs
 
The ability to look for other mails content while writting a new one is also available on the iPhone.

You can if it's photo or video when you are composing.

Yahoo! also uses The Weather Channel for their data.

Yes quite useful.
 
Does an incoming call notify you (two lines: caller id then Accept -- Decline below) or does it STILL blow you out of what you were doing?

I may be repeating something but you can now see the Date and Time you took a photo!

Was hoping for pdfs and other files.


Also, does search in messages still suck? i.e. requires loading messages dozens of times rather than taking you to the message you searched for
 
weather is soooo much better. 9 days of forecast and additional info is at the bottom (instead of pressing the temperature), plus new animations.

has anyone noticed the the battery icon is slightly longer?

no more "missed" notifications in the notification center pull down.

"recently deleted" album in photos

camera roll is gone and so are about 4000 photos of mine.

the timer function for camera is awesome and take 11 burst photos for 3 or 10 second countdowns.

Nice!!! I've been wanting this feature for a very long time now!
 
I don't remember this in iOS 7 but I might be wrong but:

Now there's a play/pause button next to the record button in voice memos.
