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.
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.
Its great when you get to know it. Ive been using it for a couple months and love it.
The verdict is still out for me.
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.
Anyone else have non-Apple accessories that don't work with IOS7?
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.Quote:

Is there anything big in this release that I should care about? I know the icon appearance has changed...
It's on my workphone. What's so great about it?
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.
Just the facts

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.Quote:
