NEW YORK: Apple is to roll out on Wednesday the biggest changes to its iPhone software since the smartphone was launched six years ago.

Design chief Sir Jonathan Ive unveiled iOS 7 in June at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, promising that the first product of his expanded role in charge of software's "human interface" would be "completely new" but still "instantly familiar".

While many app developers have been racing to overhaul their products to fit iOS 7's new minimalist style.

Most are watching from the sidelines to see how customers respond to it.

According to Mixpanel, which makes analytics tools for mobile developers, 30 per cent of its customers' apps have been updated this month to get ready for iOS 7. (QNA)
