Sounds good, my friend was having this issue.

 

[crisss1205]

Wow, in a week they managed to fix it and deploy it to every single phone.

 

[WardC]

YES!! Apple did the right thing. Way to go!! Too bad most of the phones are not auto-updating to this, and still running 7.0

 

[DipDog3]

Updating!!!

...wait, nope. Says my phone is up to date

 

[Spacedust]

I just noticed this before the news appeared on MacRumors

Further proof Apple is a million miles ahead of Android.

Lame... Where's the love for previous iPhones lagging when screen rotates?

 

[sundog925]

battery life fix....come on!

[ValSalva]

A little battery life love in a near future update would be very much appreciated

I think this fix takes priority for obvious reasons...

 

[Smith288]

New Icons!?!??! Just kidding...but the complaints are coming...

 

[JorgeLomeli]

i´ll keep posting if anything goes wrong.

 

[tonyy]

Need a fix for my 5s gyroscope/compass!

 

[Deacon-Blues]

Now if only they can address the issue with the compass and gyroscope.

build number?

 

[g-7]

Please, let it be less sluggish on iPhone 4, please, let it be less sluggish... You can leave that revolting icons for now, but please, let there be some speed optimizations...

 

[DerekRod]

build number?

It says it in the article....

 

[WhackyNinja]

Good to see 7.0.2 hopefully some bugs will be ironed out

 

[Rocko1]

Oh, Greek keyboard. Just what I needed.

 

[jonathan1683]

Miles ahead of Android because they rolled out a bug fix to a bug that seems to happen every time they roll out a new IOS version? How about make sure there are no lockscreen passcode bypass bugs next time. That would be impressive.

How about putting the lightning bolt BACK into the battery icon so we don't have to look so hard to see that it's charging? I can only imagine the debates on moving it....

 

[mattburley7]

that was pretty quick compared to last years first .x release that took till november.

if we are really getting iOS 7.1 for the ipads next month shouldnt we see a beta soon?

Or the play icon in the status bar while music or podcasts are playing.

Please, let it be less sluggish on iPhone 4, please, let it be less sluggish... You can leave that revolting icons for now, but please, let there be some speed optimizations...

You will probably be out of luck....word on the street is to NOT add iOS7 to the 4, and perhaps not the 4S. Time to step up to a 5S!

BTW, the update is not showing up on the east coast....any luck out there?
