Well, it's not opinion-based — it's factual whether features are documented or not. I'm not saying the question doesn't have problems, but it isn't "what are the coolest features of iOS 7"; the problem is that a question asking for "some" doesn't have a single right answer. — Daniel, Sep 19 '13 at 00:07

iOS 7 keeps tabs on where you hang out most, allowing it to cache relevant nearby data. It’s neat, if a bit spooky. Once you’ve used iOS 7 for a while, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services to view a list of your frequent haunts. You can also turn this feature off at the same location.

Swipe in Safari to go back or forward.

Swiping one finger from left to right (starting off the left edge of the screen) is the same as hitting the "back" button now.

Doing the same from right to left is the same as the forward button. This one obviously only works after you've gone back at least once. (For some reason, the "forward" one is also a bit less responsive on my device.)

This gesture in Safari is really satisfying. Very deliberate yet easy to perform.

Multitasking makes it easier to flip back and forth between 2 apps easily, when you double click the home button to enter the new thumbnailed multitask screen, it always highlights the previously opened application (or the 2nd in the list, as it were) so if you are for example copying multiple items of text from one app to another, you can use the following flow to quickly and repeatedly switch between 2 apps:

Double Click home, hit the center of the screen; this will always return you to the previous app.
Once you have switched apps in this manner, the order that they appear in changes (basically switching the 1st and 2nd positions around). Repeating the Double Click home and center tap will flip you back to the first app

Activation Lock:

Activation Lock adds a second layer of protection against tech savvy thieves. Just make sure that Find My iPhone is turned on in the iCloud tab, and if your device ever gets stolen, the thief will not be able to restore or wipe it without disabling Find my iPhone, and for that, he would need to know your Apple ID and password. You can also prevent the device from being reactivated simply by putting it in Lost Mode.

Disable Parallax (if desired):

Parallax is iOS 7's new moving home screen. When you tilt your phone, the wallpaper shifts with it. It's a cool parlour trick, but not really useful. It's also incredibly distracting on the larger screen of an iPad. Worse is the fact that disabling it is hidden away. To turn it off head into: Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion. Turn that "On" and Parallax is disabled.

One method of preserving battery life - Disabling Background Refresh.

iOS 7 lets certain apps refresh even when you're not using them, which is both super convenient and a big problem for users who want the most out of their batteries. Disabling Background Refresh entirely would be your best bet, but even disabling the feature on just a few apps should help your device remain lively for a bit longer.

iOS7 now tracks data usage in a similar (although not quite as effective way) as Data Sense does on Windows 8 phones.

Take a peek in Settings > Mobile and scroll down to the MOBILE DATA USAGE section, where you can track how much data has been sent over the mobile data connection (as opposed to WIFI, which isn't tracked). This is shown as a total of all data, but also on a per app basis, allowing you to see which apps are using most of your bandwidth, and most usefully allowing you to simply deny mobile data access to certain apps without having to shut off your entire connection, which is very very useful for those on expensive data plans, or those of us (like me) who get an allocated amount each month occassionaly get close to going over.

Data Usage

The figures are shown since the last reset, which is shown at the bottom of the screen (along with the option to perform a statistics reset); unfortunately there is no concept of scheduling a period like with Data Sense where I can say I have 1Gb per month starting on the 15th, for example, but if you remember to manually reset on the first day of your data period, then it's still mighty useful for both keeping you within your limits, and also understanding what is actually using your data.

Also sometimes known as Settings > Cellular instead of Settings > Mobile. Not sure why; perhaps locale- or carrier-specific? — Ben Liblit, Oct 03 '13 at 12:55

Playback controls appear on the lock screen just by waking the phone. This might not sound like a big deal, but I found it to be fantastic. In iOS 6 you needed to double click the home button to display the playback controls on the lock screen. I often carry my iPhone in my breast pocket with headphone cables wound around it. When I want to pause and resume a podcast for a minute, that meant to take it completely out of the pocket to reach the home button and then stuff it and the headphone cable back in. Now I can tap the top power button and reach the controls at the top of the screen right in my pocket, which is fantastic.

The controls only seem to stay there for a limited time after playback has been paused. After that they're only reachable by swiping up the control center.

A regression related to this, when something else controls the lock screen (navigation), you cannot bring media controls to the lock screen, not even by double clicking the home button.

Nesting app folders is presently available though this may be considered a bug that Apple will fix in a future iOS7.x.x update

First, combine two apps to create a folder, and then combine the remaining two apps to create a second folder.

Now, hold a finger on one of the folders so that it becomes grayed out.

As soon as it does this, press the Home button twice to bring up the multitasking menu. This trick will not work if the apps begin to wiggle (when they enter the organization mode) before you hit the home button. You have about a half a second to get this right.

From the multitasking menu, click on the home screen. You should see the folder icon remains enlarged and grayed out, and also that the folders are now wiggling.

Now, click the destination folder (the one you want to add the first folder to). You should see the icon of the first folder hovering above.

Now, click the Home button once. Ta-da! You now have a folder within a folder. The best part is that these folders work flawlessly, and you can navigate through them, launch apps from within them, and move apps just as you would otherwise.

You can use this trick to further nest additional folders, and I've been able to create five folder levels before eventually stopping, though I'm pretty sure you can just keep going until you get bored.

Hide Apps and place folders inside folders

To remove apps:

Have a full page of apps with at least one folder in it.
Take all the apps you want to hide and put them in a folder. (If you just want to hide one you don't need a folder.)
Place the folder or the single app that you don't want in the dock.
Double tap the home button, but in the short delay it takes to open multitasking, quickly press and hold the app you don't want in the dock.
Now multitasking should be open. Look at the home screen page and the app you don't want should be larger than the others and grey.
Tap the home screen to go back to it.
The app should still be grey and larger than the rest.
Open the folder on the home screen and the apps that you don't want should come with you. Tap the screen to exit the folder and press the home button.
Done! :)

Note: the apps are not permanently gone, just hidden. You can open them by searching for them in the spotlight search. If you restart your phone the apps will return.

To place folders inside other folders:

Follow steps one through eight as shown above.
Drag the folder that came with you into the folder you just opened.
Press the home button to settle all apps.
Done! :)

If you email a link in Safari's "reader" view it sends the full view (parsed text and images), not just the link.

New Bluetooth keyboard shortcuts have only been added to Safari, Mail, and Pages in a very limited fashion.

Safari

⌘L to Open Location (like Safari for Mac, this selects the address bar so you can start typing to open a URL or search. You can’t move up/down with the keyboard to select results though)

⌘T to open a new tab

⌘W to close the current tab

⌘R to refresh the current tab

⌘. to stop loading the current tab

Note: Safari can’t switch between tabs or search in the current page with keyboard shortcuts in iOS 7.0.3.

Mail

⌘N to create a new message

⌘⇧D to send a message (from the Compose screen, it also works in other apps that implement a Mail sharing feature)

Backspace key to delete the currently selected message

Up/down arrows to select suggested email address in To/CC/BCC popover fields

Pages

⌘⇧K to comment

⌘⌥K to show next comment

⌘⌥⇧K to show previous comment

Note: It’s possible that these shortcuts were enabled before, but I’ve added them for the sake of completeness because I haven’t seen them documented anywhere else.

According to the Source it will be updated regularly as Apple adds more keyboard shortcuts to its iOS apps.

You can view all unread email across all mail accounts when viewing Mailboxes in mail.app

You can also set up additional views/mailboxes for messages which match:

To or CC
Attachments
All Drafts
All Sent
All Trash

Just tap EDIT on top left when in Mailboxes view and select the option you want displayed and where you want it located in the list.

Apple also updated their Tips and tricks website page for the iPhone 5s as they used to do it in the past. Check it out! http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/tips enter image description here

How about some good examples sourced from there that don't appear here? Otherwise this is more useful as a question comment than an answer... – Josh Newman Oct 14 '13 at 18:50
