What's wrong with me these days??? If this was 2-3years ago I would've been excited to try iOS7 Beta ,but now? Nope, I'm happy to wait until the final one arrives, in anyway, apparently there is no iPad iOS7 Beta anyway, but even if there was, I wouldn't have jumped on it, same with the recent GS4 FW, I simply updated to an OTA that was available, haven't bothered to jump ahead and flash there newer MEA FW, I could easily get the Indian or Singapore FW but nah, I'll wait, just so happy with what I've got.

How was multitasking and the web browser?

@ MooGoo, Yes unfortunatly im definatley in (Stuck) the Uk
@ Tsepz, Used it for the whole today its really is a nice difference from Apple
I cannot fault it except for them to adjust the App colours there to bright

Multitasking is wonderful the iOS 7 experience for that is improved alot
opening and closing stuff is a nicer experience I feel now

Safari has a new appearance but it still operates the same although webpages do load abit quicker
plus theres a privacy option in settings now for safe web browsing

My fav is prob the Weather app of all its all animated like my ex HTC

but the system is a nice change myphone is almost 2 years old it works fine with iOS7
athough ive noticed a few minor bugs I think when apple launch there next phone then iOS7 will
be an even better experience!

I really don't like it. Its bright alright, the icons don't even have a shadow like the ones on my S3's Touchwhiz driven interface which makes them bright like that.

And Apple fans thought Touchwhiz looked it was for kids - iOS 7 is for pre school !

Etaab once ur blinded and have your sunglasses at hand its really nice iOS
well I like it I wouldn't wanna jump down to iOS 6.1.3 right now

its a shame I cannot send you and Bonovox a iPhone each with it on for a day to test it all out
I think your verdicts will be diabolical in a good way

anyway moving on posted this cos.............



I hope Apple make those Toggles slightly lengthier and add ON/OFF Text
I think that will confuse alot of people if they keep like the above

I'd happily use one, but trust me, I couldn't live with it.

If the iPhone and its limited OS had been out in 2002, prior to me moving onto proper smartphones in 2003 which still to this day have more features than iOS 7, iPhones would have seemed brilliant. But they're still behind and lack features I use day to day. So ergo, pointless and not much more than a flashy feature phone.

Etaab yeah took Apple long enough to decide they wanted to get out a Mobile phone,
infact I think iPhone came out just after I left 02 cos there data was too expensive I went to Voda
didnt really fancy a iPhone back then it was a un-heard of product Nokia E65 was all the hype for me then

after owning a few iPods I think the iPhone deserved a go, I just enjoy having everything on one device its just alot simpler for me

btw iOS 7 does have a few bugs my fav app eBay wont run boohoo I guess I will save some cash not looking

I actually think they're making a mistake. As the days go on since this new UI was revealed I just think they're going to come off even worse with it. I prefer the skeumorphic UI prior. This is too simple and too kiddy. The icons just aren't punchy enough to differentiate themselves from the background. If I had an iPhone running this, i'd have to set the wallpaper to something dark to make the icons pop out a bit more.

As far as mobile OS are concerns in my opinion Android OS are the best. I enjoy android os is 4.1 (jelly bean).

Lol Etaab

Ok found another bug don't know if it's the AppStore
But if a app needs to be updated and u select the update
It just keeps saying waiting nothing happens

If you delete that app in the app settings then trying
To redownload is virtually impossible the install is there but
If pressed no install starts lol

Looks like a re install is booked for my phone later

That would be Scott Forstall. You'll recall he introduced "Time Machine" for OSX and to today this is STILL used and a great software for the desktop OS ... I cannot see OSX without it going forward for another 10yrs. I believe he had a hand in its implementation and design, but that's another topic.

I agree I prefer the previous UI to this kiddy korner junk in iOS7 ... I almost feel like I'm back in gr 5 in 1982/3, been smelling WAY too many magic markers (that was some good stuff, Purple smelled like grapes, black licorice, green watermelon; ahhh I can almost smell those markers right now if I close my eyes).
EDIT ... these
