An intrepid iOS 7 user has unlocked a few little secrets the beta version of the operating system, pointing to some new features that may be coming in the final version later this year.

Hamza Snood tweeted his findings, which include new gesture and multitasking functions that Apple has clearly been playing around with.

We're most interested by the feature that offers the ability to choose new types of gesture for using the iPhone. As the posted video shows, these include "Edge Swipe", "Corner Swipe" and "Press-and-Hold".

Another handy new feature allows you to put folders within folder. There's no guarantee that these will be in the final version of iOS 7, but it looks like they'll be surfacing down the line.

New ways to play

But the iOS 7 news doesn't stop there. A video showing iOS 7 running on an iPad has appeared online, and while it's currently still in its beta state, it's enough to give us a solid idea of what the new OS looks like on the larger tablet.

The video was posted by a Russian YouTuber who goes by the pseudonym of Rozetked. As you might expect, it looks pretty much the same as on the phone, but, well, bigger.

Yesterday we were treated to some screen grabs of iOS 7 running on the iPad, but we have to say that it looks a lot better in motion. We can imagine that the parallax effect is especially more awesome on the tablet.
