depressing
I was excited to see the update, but held off this time to see how other's were weathering the update.
Seems for every 20 posts about bricked phones, slower speeds, battery drains, confusion with the UI, difficulties reading, etc. there's only an very rare post that it went well and the user is happy.
At first I figured a large portion of the negative posts would be due to servers getting slammed and users not taking to change well, but after reading through about 15 pages of postings, there are just far too many negative experiences to blame resistance to change, etc.... I think I'll sit out IOS7 for as long as possible.
Where are all the folks who had no problem, love the new look, and can attest to some kind of increased performance or better battery life?

Took over five times to download, I've been trying to install for almost an hour now (29 times to be exact). Did it take you this much?
Those people are enjoying their phones instead of complaining about their phones on a forum. The complainers are always the loudest, as those content will just go on with their lives.
I was hoping they would release 7.0.1 to address the iMessage issues. Me and a number of people I know are having this problem where every message we send says "not delivered" but gets delivered. This has been happening on multiple devices a day after the GM seed was given to developers.
Thanks for that!
I was wondering if that was the case. I didn't see that written anywhere. Funny, I'll have to tell the Apple rep on hold now, since they have figured it out yet. lol. Guess I'll have to wait until Friday to see that.
edit: The rep just confirmed your statement.
Just tried, workes fine here. maybe you don't have the correct touch!
Are you on an iPhone 4S? I have been swiping to search for years just fine so I don´t think it´s my incorrect touch hehe
Does it have to be activated anywhere? I tried several times, nothing.

I have the 5. Maybe it's one of those non 4X features? Seems strange but who knows.

But to be serious. You need to swipe all the way from the edge! Are you doing that? no in-the-middle-crap-ass-swiping
We're talking about notification center correct? Where you slide down from the top, and it gives you a summary of your calendar and a weather description of the current day? There's no where to click, just text. It says powered by yahoo, which is underlined, but you can't tap it.
I'm on iPad I don't know if it's different.
Yes...you will see the icons at the bottom, and the screen shots above.. Just touch the screen shot of the app and flick it up...and it's closed! Very nice!
Took me a while to get used to as well. Try starting with your finger literally on the left bezel & sliding slowly right.
Will take some getting used to. I like a lot of the new design. Dislike some of it as well.
Can't decide whether the parallax effect is gimmicky looking or a good implementation. It definitely helps separate the "flat" layers. But it's not uber-smooth/truly natural looking.

Likely, but what are the benefits of this update anyway? So far, all I've heard is that it looks different and swiping is different. Haven't read any posts about improved performance or battery life. Seems that a more efficient OS with easier to render icons would make the most recent devices fly, but I haven't read any reports of anything being improved at all.
I did a clean install from itunes, and there is no way to get to my settings to reset anything I am stuck on the activation screen
