Anybody think they'll ever restore the previous functionality back to the Music app?
I sent Apple numerous requests to do this... I ALWAYS had gone through my music by selecting the artist, then individual albums. Now you have to scroll through the albums song by song. I'm personally appalled that they haven't tried to appease both themselves and others who share my concern, by sampling enabling a setting to toggle on and off so people can choose how they want to browse their music. Likewise, I'd also like to be able to browse without the huge album art taking up unnecessary space.

Sweetness... who needs the app store, third party apps, or any of the usefulness that 2-7 added!
I hadn't noticed this change until I read your comment, honestly I can't remember how it used to be. Personally, I like the way that as I scroll down for an artist it leaves an album cover at the top until I hit the next album where the next album cover "sticks" on the top.
An alternative approach would be to use the "Albums" view and search at the top for your artist. It then nicely groups every album for that artist and you can drill down from there like it sounds you used to do.
It depends on what the update is addressing--sometimes it's an important enough issue (on one lever or another) that an update for it needs to go out as soon as reasonable and it would be somewhat dangerous to throw in a bunch of other things with it that haven't yet fully been tested or might cause some potential issues.

Except the iOS 6 Music app was perfect efficient for my browsing needs. The very idea of using Siri to play music is ridiculous. I don't always have an internet connection.

Hope this fixes the iPad Youtube bug. If you click the down arrow to open the comments section and scroll down like normal to read all the comments then let go to scroll down some more the entire comments section freezes.

Oh it was more of a complaint in iTunes design, I completely know what you are going through.
In other words "I would love it if iTunes had more helpful information here"

Correct.
I'm happy every time they release a fix, no matter if there still are unresolved bugs.
I dont care about animations or music app poorly designed (it works for my needs. Could be better, but at least it works), but I do care about security leaks to be fixed as soon as possible.

I'm sure you art trolling but I'll bite. So you want idevices to not have App Store access?
----------
Comparing Updating mobile devices vs a PC is stupid.
Then just keep turning it off. It turns in on by default because so many people use BT devices, earpieces, headsets, and AirDrop
----------
Then I would stop using apple products if I were you.. either that or you are trolling because if you REALLY hated every ios version other than 1, you'd get a droid or Windows tablet. So I vote you are trolling
IOS 1 was revolutionary when it came out, but later IOS versions make ios 1 look like a piece of trash. I'm not very fond of the IOS7 look and feel. The trend of taking nice, 3d, colorful apps, and flatting them and making them less colorful is backwards. I fail to see how ios, windows 8, OS X, etc all these OS companies making "flat" "bland" UIs "forward and innovative"
IOS 7, newer versions of OSX, and Win 8, and even newer driod OSes look like something from Windows 3.x.. TERRIBLE
That's just me complaining about LOOKS. The functionality of the new OSes an all platforms are great!
The number of people that don't understand the term "bricking" is astounding. A bricked iPhone cannot be restored from backup.
I haven't read everything here, but has Apple finally addressed the issue where text messages on iPhone 4, 4S and 5 default send to "iMessage"? This makes them completely transparent to non-iPhones, with no mention on any error on either end.
And why has the "iPhone" option disappeared where one creates a contact card?
And why has the "iPhone" option disappeared where one creates a contact card?
What issue was that exactly? It seems iMessage is used when the phone number is associated with an Apple ID that has iMessage enabled, as has been the case before, and as should be the case.
It should't be the case. One phone number may not be always an iPhone. Before iOS 7, a message was always sent as dual SMS-iMessage, unless specifically told to only use iMessage through the "iPhone" moniker used when one registers a contact.
This issue is well-known, from what I could find in big G's search engine.

The "iPhone" identifier never had anything to do with iMessage really. For iMessage, you select the phone number you want to message, Apple checks it against their servers, and if it's associated with an Apple ID that has it enabled for iMessage it will send your message to that number as an iMessage, and if it's not, it will stay as SMS.
It's a bit blurry in my mind, but I do remember than, when I switched to "iPhone" a guy's number, it ceased sending SMSes, but kept "Also send SMS" option.
In any case the default behaviour in iOS 7 is prone to transmission failures. This isn't a feature, it's a bug.
Go check iMessages in Settings > iMessages on all of your iOS devices, one of them is probably signed out. I went through this last night. I was missing messages and I saw that I didn't have my cell phone number on my iPads. So I went to my iPhone, saw that I wasn't signed in, sign in and then it started showing up everywhere.
Pretty much every product launch is a beta launch, there's never been a prefect software/hardware release. Apple sometimes get it right, sometime they don't and it takes time to fix it.
I'm sure Apple is fully aware of the low memory problem and will optimize iOS 7.1 release for iPad Air/mini soon to tackle it properly.
Why are you disappointed? Your logic makes absolutely no sense. You should be happy that they're fixing and improving bugs as quickly as they can. Apple doesn't have to do this and they could've just leave it alone until iOS 8 comes out.
There's never going to be a hardware without any software updates required to make it perform better.
Even PS4/XBOX are being releasing with mandated software update required on the FIRST DAY. Heck, even Telsa cars are getting software updates over time and they cost over 70K.
Hardware is usually finished first but the software is going to take time to get it right, it's never going to be perfect on day one.
Note, that doesn't excuse anybody for being sloppy but it's just the nature of software development and no, no amount of money and QA processes would ever prevent this.
smooth update
I just updated my 16GB 5s to 7.0.4, took about 4 minutes. I've played with the phone for a while now and can't find any changes, either positive or negative. But then, my 5s was working fine to begin with i.e. fingerprint recognition always lightning fast, no problems with Facetime, etc. Hope things go smoothly for the rest of you.

Prone to transmission failure ? If it can't be transmitted as iMessage, the iPhone try to send it as SMS, so I don't understand your point
Precisely, it won't. Tested with both iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 along with my phone in the same room. No automatic retransmission was done.
