If and when I upgrade to the release version of iOS 7, will all of my iOS 6 apps work? Some of them? None of them?
I'm a little worried. Some of the apps I use all the time (I'm thinking specifically of HD Player Pro) haven't had an update in months, which makes me wonder if the authors are still supporting them.
One of the things Microsoft does right is publish a huge list of applications when a new version of Windows come out, indicating for each one if it's compatible with the new version. They even test a surprisingly large number of freeware, shareware, and open source programs.
Can I go back to iOS 6, assuming I have a full backup, if 7 breaks some of my must-have apps?
Most of them will probably work but I think this is something that Apple needs to work on. The number of apps that break when iOS updates at this point is still unacceptable. I don't know of any other OS that breaks so many apps with an OS update.

No, developers need to work on it. As a developer you agree to keep your app up to the most current iOS version. Which is why the summer of access to iOS exists. So you have time to get your act together.

lol, how much more time do you want apple to give to devs?Most of them will probably work but I think this is something that Apple needs to work on.

The largest issues I'm seeing are use of the ios6 style keyboard used in all applications when ios7 has a new keyboard.

I have no problems with most of the apps I use.
ever since beta 4 or 5, i also havent had any apps that didnt work. beta 1 and 2 was a different story.
First I had iOS 7 beta 1, did like how laggy it was and a apps did not work. I recently updated to beta 6 and it feels like a ready to be released system IMO. Everything works.
i wouldnt say everything, as there a few more kinks ive noticed here and there. namely, itunes homesharing when streaming music it takes a few closes/reopens before music plays correctly and every now and then i get a force close on other apps.
but i agree, besides the worse battery life vs ios 6, as a daily driver, its nearly ready.
I still don't understand how some people think this is apples fault
I know of of OS that have it worse, android for example...
How is that an issue actually?The largest issues I'm seeing are use of the ios6 style keyboard used in all applications when ios7 has a new keyboard.
