:mad:I upgraded my Ipad 2 to IOS 7 yesterday without any hassle but am very disappointed with the result. The colours seem washed out and lack vibrancy and one of my apps no longer functions. it is BP-monitor which I use daily.
Can anyone advise me on how to revert to my old system?
Anyone else feel the same?
 
I think its horrible also...
Running 3rd gen ipad and it freezes all the time half the stuff does its own random things.
and its the same thing as ios 6 just with different colors..
they really not innovative at all
 
why is everyone freaking out about it? did you really expect a major overhaul? so for years apple fanboys have raved about how awesome this OS is. So now they give you a prettier one with more functionality and everyone loses their minds? Its iOS, its not going to change the way it works. Its the way it works that put apple on the map in the first place. Why would they **** with that?
 
I think its the best OS upgrade for a while now.
A few new useful gimmicks is more than I thought there would be...
 
I just now discovered that Apple "broke" the wallpaper function in iOS 7 for my iPad Mini. In the past I could take a snapshot of a nice picture that fills the iPad screen in portrait orientation (I only use landscape when I watch videos so I don't care what the wallpaper looks like in landscape) and use that exactly as taken as a wallpaper. Today when I tried to do what I've always done iOS 7 did what Android tablets do (that drives me insane) ... it forces the picture to work for both orientations so in portrait you get this close-up version. Hell no! i do not want Apple to force this upon me. In Android I can get apps to fix this but we know in iOS this cannot happen.
 
I also find my keyboard to be less responsive. I often have to tap keys twice. The uppercase button is especially bad.

How did that way of thinking work for BlackBerry?
 
I see there's report of a flaw that allows access to some info on a passcode locked device. Does not affect the 5s/c but all others apparently.

You're honestly suggesting that iOS7 is comparable to BB10?

The way their market shares are declining I would have to say yes.
Mawston continued, “Apple shipped 31.2 million iPhones worldwide in Q2 2013, up from 26.0 million a year earlier. Apple grew just 20 percent annually during Q2 2013, which is less than half the overall smartphone industry average of 47 percent. Apple’s global smartphone marketshare of 14 percent is at its lowest level since the second quarter of 2010.

To be fair Apple always releases buggy 1st releases. I would wait till 7.1 till i pad judgement on iOS 7.

Apple sold fewer phone than the market average in the months leading up to the introduction of their new phone... I'm shocked I tell you!!

PS. Yesterday was New iPhone Day... Well, not here but in the States... Anyway, despite the doom everyone predicted... again... the queues were still there and the gold 5S sold out... Who'da thought.
 
Only upgrade if your fav apps are ios7 ready, I love the upgrade and ditched all my apps that are not compatible.
 
Running it on my iPad 4 and no issues at all. Loving it!! As refreshing an update as it is I'm still eagerly awaiting the jailbreak. The foundation is there, the ability to tinker is imperative...
 
I noticed word wrap on iPad 2 doesn't work in emails properly ...
