Sorry? You were saying something and didn't finish it?

You have to read the whole post in one go, including the next quote.

Do the tips and tricks include how to regain the 50% battery loss on my 4s in going from iOS 6 -> iOS 7?

i LOVED having my phone go below 10% before noon the other day. Great fun.

Just give it a week and it will be back to normal. I had the same problem at first and it seems it just needs a few days to relearn the charging cycle.

lol, mine has now gotten worse over time. I had the phone go under 10% before noon this past week with moderately high use.

iOS 7 is basically killing my 4s. Wish I had never upgraded.

No 5 love?

I can't believe that the 4S is still in play.

So.... I've heard that from exactly NOBODY. I'd try a fresh install with NO apps, then add them back slowly, keeping an eye on battery.

For certain- NOT an iOS issue.

how about a trick to make the colors not so contrasting?

Hahhahahahahahahah...!!!!!!
Omg, mate- so funny. That's REALLY good!!
Didn't you just win Last Comic Standing??
No? Even your closest friends never tell you that you're funny no matter how hard you try?
*sigh* Well, I was REALLY trying to dig your "quirky/sassy" sense of snarky humor. Sorry it's just really, really, really lame. =/

Shame. The iPhone was always so obvious and simple. It never had a manual because it didn't need one, and with iOS 7, Apple threw the baby out with the bathwater. Now, the iPhone is no longer the universal smartphone. It's no longer "the phone for the rest of us."

It's just Android. If I wanted Android, I would have bought a Nexus (I do get quite tempted from time to time), not an iPhone.

The iPhone should be an iPhone. Not some cheesy Windows Phone knockoff with Vista transparency effects added, because, what the hell? It's Apple. Why the hell not?

ATTENTION APPLE!!
Please shut down your billion dollar machine & QUIT making our millions of iPhones much better!!!!
One single user on macrumors has found a former version to be the epitome of tech/usability. Because we have allowed her to speak for us all.... as I said, go ahead and shut down shop.

You are right, I'm lying. iOS6 worked perfectly on my phone, iOS7 is draining my battery like crazy, no matter what I do(all background items turned off, reset phone, reinstall w/backup, reinstall totally clean and add apps one by one, etc...), but it's not iOS7.


Oh I forgot, I'm lying.

There are some good tips there. I didn't realize for instance that you can make telephone calls.

For me turning off parallax and increasing contrast (effectively turning off transparency) helped quite a lot.

NP. You obv have a pathological need to be noticed.
Since you refuse to find the ACTUAL culprit.... I can only assume that you enjoy soap box standing in your Jesus Christ pose, pretending like there is some heinous battery demands of iOS 7, that YOU ALONE suffer.... but are NOT due to a weird hardware issue, rather all of iOS... (Just somehow ONLY targeting you??!)
Unless you're lying.
Which I NEVER said or hinted.. but the fact you snapped at me TWICE in a paragraph makes me feel like you're feeling guiltily/testy for SOME REASON.

Calendar List view?

Does anyone know how this tip works?
A lot of people I know, including me, hate the new Calendar on the iPhone.
One of the biggest complaints is the dropping of "List View".
However, in the tips and tricks section, it says "List".
Anyone know what this is?
All I have is the "Day", "Month" and "Landscape" view.
However, no "List View"!! :>(

Anyone know what they mean by "List" in the tips??
Thanks!!

New views in Calendar

View your calendar by list, day, or month. Switch to landscape view to see a full five days.

Apple has added new 'Tips and Tricks' sections to its iPhone marketing websites, giving new and old iPhone users a handy guide to the new features of iOS 7 and the new iPhone models.

The three pages, one each for the iPhone 4s, 5c and 5s, include sections about photography, swipe gestures, FaceTime, Maps, Siri, Calendar, Music, Mail, Safari, AirPlay and Wireless, Settings, Compass, and Find My iPhone.

The pages, which are linked at the bottom of every iPhone marketing webpage on Apple.com, appear to be something of a quick start guide, complimenting the more in-depth iPhone User Guide.

Neat ...

A 'Tips and Tricks' page..

Trick or treat anyone ??

Meanwhile acknowledging iOS's slightly degraded level of intuition...

I don't think the phones have gotten any less intuitive ... it's the operators.

The youngsters (under the age of 14) won't need any help. Those over the age of 55 who have never used an Apple product will probably appreciate the help.

So going through all the prescribed steps that seemed to have helped others is "refusing to find the ACTUAL cuplrit" in your book?

You say that I have a "pathological need to be noticed", yet you are the one puffing out your chest in calling me a liar?

My "weird hardward issue" phone was perfectly fine under iOS6, the SECOND I installed iOS7, I get abysmal battery performance. Yet you claim it's not iOS7, and you berate me along the way.

Is there an ignore button anywhere in here folks?

That's probably partly because the new UI doesn't feel it needs to distinguish between tappable, flat, single colour icons and non-tappable, flat, single colour icons. That just wouldn't be good design.

I never knew. Is it something that was new with iOS7, or was it in iOS 6 as well/
