Just downloaded this AM on my iPad 2 and not sure what to think so far. My wife called it "crispy", which I think is a fairly accurate description of the new fonts etc...:p:)

I also cannot figure out how to search for text on a web page. Looks like they removed that functionality.
”On this page" is still there! It is located as the very last category of search results. Keep scrolling down ... down ... Voila!

Ohhh, I see. It took awhile to comprehend what you were referring to, but I got it now. Thanks. That said, what they did sucks. I miss being able to see the actual page and initial match while I am searching for text. I want IOS6 back.

I dont like it

I dont care for the font. I cant make it bold

The icons are awful

Now I receive an email from my daughter. On my yahoo account on the computer it shows from her email address.

on my phone it shows from her cell number UHHHH she is traveling out ofcountry an doesnt have her cell on her.
I respond to her from my iphone but it looks like it went to her cell number

How could that be ??

so I check my computer and my response is to her at her cell number but shows email address

I know this is probably confusingto anyone reading this

what he heck wish i could get back the older version

So on my iphone, i deleted her cell phone number from my email contacts


The email response to her that i sent earlier from my iphone, I now forwarded it to her from the computer to see if she received it.

I do not like the new style either. Why should I have to?

The old versus new are based on radically different design approaches, neither of which is right or wrong. IMHO, it simply comes down to individual tastes and preferences. When I bought my iPad, I bought into long established Apple design principles. I was sold on the rich, elegant and ornate styling that up to now kept improving with each upgrade of iOS, a style which rendered fancy graphics and icons beautifully on my retina screen. The new style is a radical departure from the Apple I know. I wish I could revert back. I hate the 'look' of the upgrade. It is simply not my style of choice. Not even close.

Apple isn't the first company to force major new UI style shifts on users, instead of expanding choices and/or giving customers more options to adjust style settings and features back to established design patterns that the user prefers. Facebook with Timeline, Microsoft with Win 8 loading up to start screen only (no starting in desktop mode), etc.

I guess well, then, whatever. Apple just relinquished a major product styling differentiator. Style-wise, Apple is not 'thinking different' now, instead it is playing catch up to 'think the same' and imitate the look I can already buy cheaper with Android and Windows phone. I see no reason to buy a new iPhone or iPad. Apple just lost me here, big time! I hope they don't do the same to my Mac Mini OS.

I just posted this directly on the apple message board and it got deleted within 5 minutes. Here's the email with the post and the reason for deletion.

Oh Johhny, what have you done? I much preferred Scott's Skeuomorph design style for iOS! You guys are making yourself to look more like that cheap knockoff of Android! I know you all hate Scott, but please please please go back to the beautiful design and styling of previous versions of iOS!

After playing with iOS 7 a couple of days, so far, it's OK, but I am not thrilled, nor am I like the little crying kid on YouTube! ;)

But I notice two things:

1) Is it me or does it drain my battery quicker? My gut is saying that the battery is draining quicker now, but it's subjective so far.:confused:

2) One App (EcoFactor, for our thermostats) did not work, whereas in v 6 it worked just fine, guess the bug needs to be tweaked.

Other than that it's OK, but again I am not going ga-ga over it...:)

Does anyone know how to move the icons on your home page. Mine are in different places and I can't move them like I could before I upgraded.

They move the same way like before as far as I can tell. Tap an icon and hold until they start shaking. Then move them around.

The battery does seem to be draining quicker. But right now the thing that is really irking the hell out of me is Safari. The frequency with each tab refreshes is absolutely infuriating. When I switch between tabs, if i take longer than about ten seconds to return to a prior tab, it begins reloading. Not to mention other little bugs I am discovering with Safari. I am going to search for another browser in the app store, and I hope they will not be subject to the same crap i am dealing with in Safari.

I like Mercury. There's also a Chrome, but I haven't used that in iOS too much.

At least you iPhoners got Control Center. That's certainly a step in the right direction.

Can't you just change the background and icons from 7 back to 6? Seems simple enough. They're just images.

I miss the iOS 6 Calendar "Year" view that showed me a stop-light chart of sorts based on overloaded life. The current "Clean Slate" view is no help for planning purposes! Ugh.

On the other hand, I like that the calendar now scrolls through time rather than flipping pages and pre-defined intervals (months/years).

iOS7 and iPhone 5s

well, I guess I am in the minority here but after downloading the iOS 7 to my ipad 2 I was so impressed I broke down and last Friday went out and bought a 36gig iPhone 5s..... love it, seems sleek and modern... I even went out of the Verizon store and synched the phone up to my Ford Sync with no problem... Having a 64gig ipad2 I knew I could put less on the phone... my kids had been trying for a year or so to get me to go to the dark side and buy Apple since I had a Droid Razr Max. The reason I changed was after a year with the Droid the wifi quit working and even after cleaning it out etc... it ran slow... likes of the Droid was the size of the Screen, easy:) to use.... but I DO also like the 5s because its smaller and easier to put in a pocket etc... I know I am rambling but I love tech and iOS7 and the new iPhone 5s are AWESOME.... Dave

Yep, so much so that I'm going to sell my ipad 2 that I formerly loved for over the last two years and get the new Kindle HDX that comes out next month.

I haven't noticed any difference in battery drain on my iPad 2, but then I'm always closing apps I don't use and Bluetooth is shut off, it's a wifi only model so I don't have all the phone chips etc using power. I like the new running apps scrolling view, just flip them up to close instead of having to hit the red x. I've had it on since it was available, no regrets here.
