iOS 7 has a few secrets to spill about the coming iPhone.

Apple has played the game long enough to keep its secrets heavily guarded, but a close look at some of iOS 7's lesser-known features hints at a few hardware changes we should count on (or not) for the next iPhone -- and maybe for the next iPads, too.

Camera enhancements It doesn't take an OS upgrade to guess that Apple will improve its camera's still-life and video capture hardware. That's a given.

Now here's a little evidence: iOS 7 supports 60fps video capture, while 30fsp is the smartphone standard.

That means that the next iPhone could capture twice the information in the same span of time; I'm thinking at a resolution of 1080p HD.

Apple's WWDC announcement of the upcoming iOS 7 promised a slew of amazing, long-overdue updates.

The good news is, you can get some of the functionality or at least similar features of iOS 7, in apps that currently exist on the App Store.

1. iOS Mail and Mailbox

The iOS Mail app is still the go-to place for e-mails among numerous users; with that said, many are heralding the upcoming changes that make checking e-mails quick and intuitive. If you're curious about what the interface will feel like, try out the Mailbox app. Its touch-friendly swipe gestures made Mailbox one of the more popular apps this year. Easy to control and packed full of useful features (such as the mail snooze option), Mailbox could potentially keep you loyal even after iOS 7 rolls out. The only downside is that it only supports Gmail.

2. Calendar App and Any.DO

If you're running a Mac with Mountain Lion on it, you shouldn't have any trouble running Apple's latest operating system.

All Macs that are currently capable of running Mountain Lion will be able to run OS X Mavericks, people who claim to have knowledge of the software told AppleInsider in a story published Tuesday. This means that iMacs from mid-2007 and later, MacBooks and MacBook Airs dating back to 2008, and MacBook Pros from 2007 will work just fine.
