Some graphical issues and battery is not as good (iPhone 4S). Over all very sleek. Really digging iTunes Radio.

Are you using iOS 7 as a daily driver?

Daily business and personal phone, I am on it 24/7 doing everything, I noticed the following:
pics through photos app to text or imessage is obviously an issue
battery life a huge issue
occasional restarts
photos app has lots of bugs i.e. cant go back from the Collections Moments Years, have to restart app
Fonts and spacing is way off all over
Keyboard works in some places older one is present in others
Is it me or does the camera take better pics on this new OS?
Instagram gray pic issues
Plenty of other issues others have discussed but as many said, for a beta 1 its pretty darn good and will only get better.
The sliding bar for answering calls and unlocking screen is there but transparent t in a way, will they keep it like that? I feel like these are some good things but MAY confuse the older crowd thats finally comfy and use to iphone OS

You literally can not possibly use something "daily" that has existed for barely over 24 hours.
Even with the occasional hiccups mentioned already, it's surprisingly smooth. I like it and will keep it as my daily until I need to change it.
I'm loving it. Battery seems about the same for me. Few little glitches but for a beta it's smooth and pretty stable. It's only gonna get better from here. I can't really see myself going back to iOS 6 unless future betas really mess something up.
Used it almost all day today...
This is a set up as new phone with minimal apps installed.
Used it for GPS 49 miles back and forth with spotify. Some phone calling. Lots of texts and emails.
The new UI is great. Even as a beta it is way more functional than 6.1.4.
No unexpected restarts for me although it did have a tough time in the dialer a few times. Power cycled and it was fine. Battery life is atrocious. Charged it twice. But. After all it is a beta.
For a beta it's more stable than most finalized android os's
Can't wait for the iPad versions to be released as well as what they have in store for the final release. If anything...

I am too. The only real gripe I have is find my iPhone not working and I can't download the new beta in the dev center. Besides that, everything else works for day to day use for me. And that's besides the small bugs and battery drain issue.
Yup! And loving it. Very stable for beta 1. Battery drains a bit faster but it gets me through the day well enough. Very happy.
Daily driver here so far also. Seen one springboard refresh. Couple glitches in the messaging app. iTunes radio I love and over all the new interface is appealing to me. Battery seems a bit iffy but I'm near a charger all day. GPS seems to randomly do what it wants. Animations seem a little slow. Overall I love it and plan on keeping it.
Definitely want to try it out, but before I do..
Can anyone confirm that whatsapp is working on iOS7? All my damn friends use it to communicate.
Thanks!

I've had it going for a day and minus a few inconsequential app crashes and (quick) restarts, along with a few hiccups when opening apps, it's gone quite well for me. I enjoy 7 enough already that I'm willing to put up with that kind of stuff until it gets better. I may go back at some point, but certainly haven't found a reason to yet.
First time using an iOS Beta and I am pleased with iOS7. Stability doesn't seem to be a horrible issue, although small things like Messages not scrolling to the very bottom an inconsistencies among some apps (FaceBook and Twitter seem to load a new top bar, but then it switches to the old style), but I don't expect all apps to work perfectly with an iOS that isn't officially released yet. Battery seems to be about what 6.1.4 offered on my iPhone 5 so that's not a big issue. Loving Control Center and the updated UI, as the old one was getting a little long in the tooth. One thing I'd prefer is faster animations like when unlocking to the home screen since they can take an extra moment or two that I'm not used to. Also would like the Tweet button back in the Notification Center since I became so accustomed to it, but I I can cope with opening the app. The app waiting problem that people have been experiencing haven't happened much (with 5 apps yesterday and one today) so it's not horrible, and I only had like one springboard crash although that was with me playing with it constantly. Can't wait to see what else is to come until the fall.
I am.
I've had very few issues with it, aside from what's already been reported. Now that I've got iMessage working, I'm sticking with it.
Love the new UI and subtle animations. Safari is much improved also.
The next few betas will be quite substantial I think, to fix all the issues. Looking forward to beta 2!

Yes, I am using it daily as well. Besides the aforementioned bugs, my only issue is the battery. My battery life has been spotty at best. I feel like sometimes it drains very fast and others its stable. I watched the battery go from 57-47 just from switching applications. I tried running the battery down to cycle it and the phone dies around 16-14%. It turns off and displays the image of the battery needing to be plugged in. As soon as I plug it in, the phone turns on and is operational again. So all in all, this is a very stable beta from my past experiences. Looking forward to a great new UI and new OS.
