Full-featured multitasking is something that many iPhone fans desired (especially those who have used an Android device before). iOS7, Apple’s implementation of it has nothing been short of excellent, even when it is still in beta. It is obvious that Apple has opted to take a design approach that seems to combine its multitasking implementation from iOS 6, with a very similar approach taken by Android. As usual, though, when others inspire Apple, it repackages their approach giving its implementation a unique flavor of its own. For example, multitasking in iOS 7 also intelligently schedules updates during power-efficient opportunities such as when your phone is connected to a power source, or a Wi-Fi network. It conserves power, while also pre-fetching data from frequently used apps so they are ready when you typically launch them.
As in iOS 6, multitasking in iOS 7 is invoked with a double tap of the Home button. Where that previously revealed a multitasking app tray with simple icons, it now switches into a new and much more sophisticated multitasking view layered over the iPhone’s wallpaper. Users can then close any of these apps with an upward swipe. Tapping on it naturally takes you directly into that app.
In summary, iOS7's take of multitasking has been impressive with its clean and functional interface.
