iOS 7 Review


A very entertaining post and you know what? You are right, from my point of view everything apple release of late just isn't doing it for me. iOS 7 feels like a half baked cross between iOS and Android, missing the mark.
 
My only concern is that I can't read some app names/folders on the home screen with the background I've chosen :( but I don't need to see it as I know from the icon what it is...

The clock on the lock screen however I can't see and that is annoying! AND I can't change the zoom level of my wallpaper! no matter how hard I try! :(

Edit... Here is a sample

Does anyone else have a problem with video scrubbing? I use FileBrowser to watch TV over my wireless connection from my computer and in iOS 6 you could use the scrubbing bar to skip at various speeds - high/half/quarter/fine. But that's all gone you can only scrub at high speed now.
 
I have an I pad 4 and it updated to IOS7 fine , bug I'm feeling a vast difference in battery life to the point that it's probably halved , anyone else having the same problem ? Do I need to turn something else off ?
 
I've heard a mixed response amongst my friends - some love it, some genuinely think it's rubbish, and one or two are indifferent. It will be interesting to see how quickly it gets revised.

The problem for Apple is there doesn't seem to be a standout complaint - just a generalised resentment at the changes.

Both my mini and 4 are the same. I have gone back to 6 now and back to normal levels of battery life..
 
I've turned off every update and notification setting. Was on 20% battery. Close cover, go back to it 20 mins later. 14% ! What a crock of .....
 
gets better, just plugged it into my PC to reset back to IOS 6 and iTunes doesnt even see it. A message pops up on iPad saying ''trust this computer', click trust but nothing.

very weird
 
I'm at 65% with 4hrs usage and 1 day standby.

Did you try the DFU restore?

I did but tbh I really did not get on with 7. The colours are horrid and everything felt delayed and stuttery to me. 6 is silky smooth so I'm happy with that as it does what I need.
 
So far on my iPad 2 I've had one glitch where it wouldn't change orientation till I restarted the device.

Battery life is fine however I do hate the notification system now. Most of my calendar events are in the evening and they don't show up in the morning as it insists on '9 till 5' and it is way too big for a tablet. Dominates the screen a bit much for me.

Overall.. could be worse, seems useable. They did also take out the ability to delete a whole music album on the device again, it's back to single track deletion. :(

But could be worse! I'll keep it for now.
 
On ipad 2 and battery life is shocking with ios7. It's so bad I'm going to have to stick 6 back on.

On ipad two here, i have been browsing for the past 75minutes, and I am happy to say I am still being reported as havin 100% battery charge.
Magic apple people, one update an dthe battery becomes infinite.
 
In general coming from an enhanced 6.1.2 (JB) ios to ios 7 has been a very unpleasant experience.

Even the things they claim to have 'learnt' from the jail break community they have not implemented correctly! Am I right in thinking you cannot get a twitter feed on notification centre? (I have tried to get this for the last 2 days and not been successful). This to me is probably one of the most glaring oversights!

The bottom line is I am going back to JB 6.1.2 and not giving ios 7 another chance until it has been jail broken!
