Thread: iOS 7 (Apple Fan Boys only. No Android Nerds Allowed!)

  1. #1

    Default iOS 7 (Apple Fan Boys only. No Android Nerds Allowed!)

    I just down loaded it onto my iPad and iPhone.

    It's different! They changed it up enough that I have to figure out how to do simple tasks again like how to shut down programs. No more double-click on home, hold on icon and hit the X. Anyone? Yeah... Google it.

    I think I'll like it but it's the biggest learning curve for a new iOS revision to date.
    ...and across the line.

    Short version:
    Swipe up...

    Long version:
    Double-click home to bring task list like normal... but now instead of holding all you do is swipe up.

    I like it so far, still learning some of the ins and outs.

    I'm not a "fanboy," so I guess I'll have to keep my comments to myself.

    Only my 10 foot usb-charge cable, but I think that may be because the orange cats chewed through the plug end... It doesn't pop up the non-supported accessory warning. All my $1.50 itechdeals cables seem to work fine.

    Haven't felt the overwhelming urge to upgrade just yet.

    Is there anything big in this release that I should care about? I know the icon appearance has changed...

    Mainly just a few new feasibility options. You can bring up most of your settings with a quick up swipe. You can turn on and off bluetooth, wifi, etc without having to go through menus now. There is a built in compass and flashlight so no ad ridden apps for those anymore. The theme has changed, but the color theme is based on your wallpaper. So if you have a bright colorful wallpaper the theme is that way, so all the pictures online from apple were this way to make it pop. You can tone it down with milder wallpaper.

    I notice the battery life is longer. iRadio is built into iTune and works well. the only thing I missed is the current temp displayed on the icon in the old iOS.

    If you swipe down to pull notifications, current temp is in the Today screen.
