http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/ (http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/)
What are other iPhone users thoughts? I have mixed feelings on this one but really looking forward to some of the features!
Airdrop looks great as does the new notification centre. iCloud keychain is also a great little idea, enter a wifi password on my laptop and it will allow my iphone to connect to the same hotspot without having to reenter the password!
-
Apples share prices fell hard yesterday after the announcements, or lack of lol.
-
Looks great to me. Cant wait for release. Share prices drop because people expect too much. Why would Apple let all of their announcements out of the basket in one Keynote, they do have the rest of the year.
-
Looks like a step (or few) closer to the android OS.
-
looks like a nice step up in terms of design and features.
-
Only available on certain versions of the iphone & ipad etc.. guess i may have to upgrade my trusty old now retro 3gs.

Yes, that doesnt surprise you thought does it? Battery life and hardware specs are important for things like multitasking. It saves users with low spec phones getting a sub standard experience with a more up to date O/S.
Also, Apple will hopefully bring their trade in system over here once it is implemented.

Nope, doesnt surprise me at all, as things progress i knew in time my phone would not be able to keep it, it barely can now. I know from your previous posts that you are an apple/gadget fan, i can barely use iTunes :signLOL:
I like having my simonly deal at the moment, but to upgrade means new contracts, larger monthly payment or buying handset outright. Oh well retro i may stay for now. :P
-
Few apple fans at work have this atm and they are loving it apparently!
-
Share prices still tumbling lol
-
i like the look in some ways but think its a bit too basic in others. the control centre looks too basic to me but brings good functionality that you have otherwise needed a jailbreak to have previously.
Im currently downloading a beta version to install so will see how it goes.
Love the ios in the car that will be rolled out in 2014 so you can sync it with car headunits properly.
-
I'll be going on to this when I get back from holiday. From watching the keynote and reading up on it I quite like the look of it and its features. Nothing that could be classed as a killer feature but still looks like a good update.
-
Im using it now, and really like it. I do think the sharpness of it will take some getting used to.. but UI wise, its great
-
anything will be a step up from my 3gs, its soooooo slow now!
-
hi had os 7 on my jailbroken 3gs about 3 years ago, ...lol, i personnaly think apple are taking the p now
-

Seconded. Looks to me like they nicked all the best bits of Android then gave it an Appley sugar coating in the hope that no one would notice...

So pretty much the same as what Android did with Apple then?

I call bullsh*t on that! How have you had an OS that didn't even exist till late Nov 2012 (when Apple started working on it), on a phone that wouldn't even support its features, 3 years ago? :confused:
Having had every iOS beta since iOS 3 me thinks someone is telling pork pies!! :stupid:
-
Ive been running iOS9 on my iPhone 6 now for that past 3 months.....

You're way behind the curve. I have the iPhone Titanium X and iOSR-Tech. Fcuk me the phone is quicker than the computer that controls the Hadron Particle Collider at CERN. :evilgrin:

Forgot to mention.. ive had the iPhone 6 actually built into my skull and hooked up to my actual retina... 163º retina vision (doesnt seem to work very well in the dark tho)
Im currently walking around poking myself in the eye.... getting some funny looks!
-
I see you have the flawed Total Recall edition. It's been superseded by the Titanium X. I won't tell you where its been built in to but my wife loves it when I take a phone call and it's set to silent. :evilgrin:

Ahh... i see you went for the vertical slot mount edition? :grin:

I'm running it and the new ui is genuinely stunning. Could do with some polish but it's only the first beta.

When is Ios7 available to update to (not jailbroken)

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Basically, he meant he had been running jailbreak mods since then which did more or less what iOS 7 does.
-
When is Ios7 available to update to (not jailbroken)
It will be available on general release the day before the next iPhone is released. So sometime in Sep/Oct. This is onlly the first beta version, aimed at being a developer preview.
-
Upgraded to iOS7 Beta this morning.
A few nice touches but on the whole I'm not so sure the simplicity works. lots of areas that still need polishing though so maybe once its finished it will be better?
a light background doesnt really work though as lots of text becomes impossible to see..

So I've been playing more..
First time i've tried a beta version out. Registered as a dev just out of curiosity really as its such a big change from previous ios and i wanted to play.
Lots of glitches with the transparency becoming completely see through but aware this is a beta so I'm confident they will be sorted.
top bar see through

then re open the app and its fine

Lots of overlapping txt. Some in voicemail and some in the siri help screen.

Really like the control centre (although this is ancient tech from jailbreak.. but its well implemented and will only enhance the user experience. Good to see basic things finally improved like flashlight and calculator now with percent key on the main screen! and being able to quickly set alarms from the control centre
Love the lock screen. Very elegant and simple although the transparent theme has issues with different colour backgrounds I've found. Think they need to give the clock some shadow for contrast but again I'm sure it will be fixed. Even the slide to unlock is a little hard to make out some times.

I dont personally like the new icons and not sure there is a set theme across them. Some are faded top to bottom and others the other way round. Doesnt seem 100% harmonious yet. The elegance of the lock screen is let down by the primary school icons once you open into the home screen.
However, I love the way when you open an app it now 'zooms out' from its icon and the reverse when you press the home button to close.
The compass with spirit level feature is another nice touch.
As is the panoramic wallpapers. Very cool and you can use panoramic shots you have taken yourself.
Obviously many apps dont work at all or crash regularly. Will be interesting to see what app developers do with the new style. Will they have to make apps that sense if the user is on ios6 or ios7 and apply buttons and keyboards accordingly?
I REALLY hope they do open up airdrop to work between iOS devices and Desktop / Laptops as well.
For a Beta1 it seems pretty stable although i will be going back to ios6 for a bit as napster app doesnt work at all and tomtom crashes and i use both of those regularly. Look forward to trying a later beta though.
-
Quite buggy on m 4S expected on 1st beta though. A couple more JB tweaks made their way into iOS :)
I think the UI might change still a little over the next few betas. Overall I'm liking it
-
Share prices still tumbling lol
Probably due to the ebooks lawsuit
-
Will this be availible on the 4? Having said that I'm due an upgrade in about ten days time , but want to hold on for the 5S or 6....
-
Should do:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPad 2
- 3rd generation iPad with Retina
- 4th generation iPad with Retina
- iPad Mini
- 5th generation iPod touch
-
Upgrades - iphone 5 16GB on offer at O2 with free handset on £32 p/m contract
-
If you are buying into a contract subsidised handset, then might as well hold out for the new phone. Its only a few months away.
