Cupertino: One of the best things about Apple's latest iPhones is the slick new iOS 7 software that runs the devices. But that souped-up operating system could end up hurting sales because the free software upgrade will also work on iPhones released since 2010, giving owners of the older models less incentive to buy Apple's newest products.

Perhaps unwittingly, even Apple's software boss Craig Federighi alluded to this potential problem while he was bragging about iOS 7 at the company's unveiling of its new phones Tuesday. He predicted that anyone who elects to install the software will feel "like they're getting an all-new device."

I understood what Federighi meant once I was able to see the iOS 7's improvements in action on Apple's two new iPhones, the 5C and the 5S. Although Apple announced iOS 7 at a conference three months ago, Tuesday marked the first time the company allowed reporters to experience the software hands-on.

iOS 7 could end up hurting sales because the free software upgrade will also work on iPhones released since 2010.

Although the iPhone 5C is less expensive than its predecessor, the iPhone 5, iOS 7 almost made it look fancier than previous generations. As an iPhone 5 owner, I was feeling a bit envious until I remembered that I'll be able to spiff up my device, too, when the software is released on September 18. The operating system will work on the iPhone 4 and later models, iPad 2s and subsequent versions, and the iPod Touch that came out late last year.

iOS 7 looks much different than previous versions of the operating system because it no longer displays iPhone apps as three-dimensional, embossed objects meant to mirror their real-world counterparts. The icons instead are flatter and more colourful.

Any significant change in design typically upsets users familiar with the old way of doing things, but I suspect the complaints about iOS 7 will be muted unless there are some terrible bugs in the software that weren't evident during the brief time that I was given to experiment.

Review: iOS 7 gives less incentive to iPhone owners to buy iPhone 5s

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) -- One of the best things about Apple's latest iPhones is the slick new iOS 7 software that runs the devices. But that souped-up operating system could end up hurting sales because the free software upgrade will also work on iPhones released since 2010, giving owners of the older models less incentive to buy Apple's newest products.

Perhaps unwittingly, even Apple's software boss Craig Federighi alluded to this potential problem while he was bragging about iOS 7 at the company's unveiling of its new phones Tuesday. He predicted that anyone who elects to install the software will feel "like they're getting an all-new device."

I am fairly certain most people who download iOS 7 are going to be pleased. The software makes it easier to navigate around an iPhone and adds some compelling new features.

The additions include the ability to stream music through an advertising-supported service called iTunes Radio and five free apps that used to cost consumers anywhere from 99 cents to $4.99 apiece. The free apps are Apple's photo-editing tool, iPhoto, and video-editing program, iMovie, as well as work-oriented apps called Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

Apple doesn't appear to be removing any popular apps built into the operating system, as best as I could tell. The company did that last year when it replaced Google's mapping app with its own navigation system only to be ridiculed for misguiding users with shoddy directions. Apple isn't bringing back Google Maps with iOS 7, but it is promising that its alternative is getting better.

The software upgrade also will make it easier to take better pictures on the iPhone and automatically sort photos into different categories to denote particular events. I particularly liked a feature that lets you control how the camera operates by toggling between options at the bottom of the screen with the swipe of a finger. Once the camera is open in IOS 7, the choices include taking a square, panoramic or standard photo. The bottom-of-the screen controls also include an option to switch to video mode.

Review: Slick iOS 7 shines on Apple's new iPhones

You'll spend time enough this school year sweating over essays, presentations and other assignments. So why spend a bunch of cash on the software you need to accomplish them?

There are plenty of free and dirt-cheap programs out there to tackle your homework, from straightforward word processors to full-fledged office suites. Whether in the cloud or on your computing device, they can handle all sorts of course loads, with features that rival Apple iWork or Microsoft Office minus the price.

Here are 10 back-to-school programs to help you make high marks at little to no cost.

Tablet apps

Textilus - Microsoft Word Edition (free for iPad, $5.99 premium upgrade)

Textilus for iPad gets so much right for the low price of nothing. You can create and edit documents for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice, then plop those files into folders that look like artful composition books. The free app likewise dolls up your on-screen QWERTY with an extended keyboard that features quick keys for bold, tab and more, plus a clever magic cursor to swipe up, down, left or right to move the cursor.

Textilus also exports and mails your work as PC/Mac-compatible RTF (rich text format) as well as TXT (text), PDF (Portable Document Format) and HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Need cloud access? Textilus syncs with Dropbox and iCloud online storage services. It also works with Evernote note-taking software.

iA Writer ($.99 for iPad and iPhone, $4.99 for Mac)

OK, iA Writer isn't free, but it's so good it's worth the Washington to slap on your iPad or iPhone. The app makes tapping text a joy with a clean interface and smart keyboard extension that sports left-right navigation and handy punctuation. You can also output plain or formatted text to AirPrint-enabled printers, as well as sync documents via Dropbox and iCloud. The only real drawback to iA Writer: no formatting settings.

Documents Unlimited Free for iPad (free)
