The only thing I've noticed is that the new OS is eating up battery life.

Is iOS7 being released for the 4?
I was wondering the same, but was finally able to update earlier

I had the same issue. Batt at 73% after DLing it at work. Keep in mind, NOT USING MY PHONE. Get home and batt life was 24% in a span of about 5 hours.

Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Settings > Privacy > Location services

For those with battery issues, check each of those and turn off/on what you see fit. The location services can eat up battery.

I've seen nothing but negativity so far. Even the iPhone thumper in my department isn't impressed

Other than the long overdue control panel, it's meh to me. It does give me more storage now, which is a plus.

Double tap home button then scroll up on app page you want to close.

Thanks. I recommend everyone do that after install as every app I had was open.

There really isn't anything that innovative with this update. I don't even think it looks that "kewl."

Is it really necessary to have ANY apps refreshing in the background? The one I don't get is maps. Is it necessary to have that refresh in the background? I assume it is on constant refresh when it is open.

It cracks me up how so many people bitch about iOS7 downloading errors. Do they not realize that there are millions attempting to download it at the same time? People that bitch about that are retards. People who bitch about the lack of innovation are not retards.

I'm still trying to figure out what "innovation" these people are talking about?

Phones and computers, OS updates rarely have any major "innovative" features these days.

From that site, lol:
Flaming piece of shit. So many bad type decisions, sloppy grids, horrific icons. WHAT THE FUCK. Biggest disaster since the Newton.

Siri searches with Bing. That seems a little backwards.

I still like it after using it a little more. Battery life hasn't been an issue for me. I wish the folders listed 12 apps per page instead of 9, though.

My battery actually seems to last longer with the update.
