Getting iOS7 onto my iphone :)

[matt100]

I like it. But I don't like the spotlight search. I use that a lot and now find it hard to access. I also don't like the white backgrounds on mail / messenger / calendar / notes. Would much prefer black.

No, you find it unfamiliar to access, pressing the home button and swiping from the middle isn't hard.

Also, they never had a black option before, it was always white or some gacky light blue iirc certainly on mail and messages?

I feel like I'm defending this a lot, full disclosure.. I use iOS on my ipad and mini but I'm not a big tablet user but I'm a full time android phone user, I just think a lot of the criticism is a bit hysterical, somehow apple seem to have managed to make apple fanboys hate them now too which is quite an achievement.

Man the pitchforks etc..

I tried 7 again on my mini and my battery has just dropped below %10 and it was full at 8am this morning. On 6 I was easily getting a full day and a half ? It also seems to take longer to charge so something is munching the battery.

to be honest I think there's something wrong with your ipad iOS7 was giving way way way more than that even on the betas with mine.

I'm still getting probably 2 weeks of light use between charges.

I have 6 on my mini and 7 on my 4 and the mini is so much quicker than the 4 which is silly. I have no idea what apples thinking is with this os but for iPads it seems quite broken. My wife's iPhone seems to be working perfect on 7 though with no issues she has mentioned.

It would be helpful if you'd stop over generalising. I have iOS 7 on my mini, ipad 3, ipod touch 5 and iPhone 5 (No I'm not a crazy fanboy, I need them for work) and it's been fine, no speed difference across any of the devices that I can perceive between this and 6 other than the intentionally and frustratingly slow transition animations, there's no jerkiness etc.

I'm fully prepared to admit that some users are having issues but it's by no means all of us.

Agree with most of this... perhaps not quite as strongly, but I agree nonetheless

yeah to be honest me too

Especially the folder thing, thats just retarded.. give me infinite folders but only let me see a fraction of whats in there, at the very least if you wanted to do that make it scroll vertically forever?

or.. you know.. have a tiny bit of patience. Apple have a very good track record at fixing issues with new releases, they're already prepping 7.0.3.

And if you did go back to iOS6 you'd eventually end up wanting some app thats not compatible or wanting some sort of feature.

And seriously, if you have issues with software a Galaxy S4 is the last place you want to be going unless you're happy invalidating a warranty and flashing a decent ROM on it.

I don't think you can turn all forms of screen lock off but with regards to everything else there's enough noise about iOS7 that they'll have to make some steady changes to it.

When I'm negotiating the use of iOS7 with my 8 year old you know things have gone too far.

First world problems lol.

Sorry, I'm not making light of it, plenty about iOS7 annoys me too but that was my first thought when I read the post
