My OTA download has been at "less than 1 minute remaining" for almost 5 minutes now... I hope it finishes soon. But at least the phone hasn't frozen because the gear is still spinning.

Mine waited in the "Applying update" phase for at least 7-8 minutes... now it's gone further and, at last, flashing the device (with the white Apple logo)
 
Can we please stop fighting about app icons for a phone? This has become incredibly blown out of proportion... IT'S A SQUARE PICTURE ON A SCREEN. That's it! I can't believe people are saying things like "Oh my god I'm switching to Android because of the new icons." Seriously? Grow up.
 
Whats the issue around restoring a backup from pre-iOS7? I did this and things have been okish .. plenty of crashes and poor battery life but I figured that was normal.

A lot of users have found it was because of their having restored a backup that they encountered heatup / battery drain issues.

Again: DO NOT RESTORE PREVIOUS BACKUPS!
 
Guys, I just don't see the icons changing in any substantial way at this point. Go to www.apple.com. What's the first thing you see? It doesn't seem like something they plan to change.
 
Recently was October 2012, when he was put in charge of all design (Hardware and Software). Seriously, what part about this don't you understand?

The part where he put the marketing team in charge of icon design for the first beta.
 
Preparing Update...

Please let the Vista-like transparencies, ugly dock, childish folders and crappy icons be fixed.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Apple don't tend to do dramatic u-turns when they make design choices, especially ones so heavily promoted thus far. I really do hope they tweak the icons, but I'd expect the transparency, dock, and folders will certainly remain as is.

Get used to it!

I'm not sure it's the icons exactly but it's what the icons represent, apple losing their "taste"
 
Whoah what are you expecting, iOS 7 to look like iOS 6 in between beta's?

No - I'd love to see a modern, clear and consistent interface. I think the over-use of transparency and Gaussian blur is the worst aspect of iOS7. Could someone please explain why blurring content and blending it with chrome is - "deferential". It is such a common anti-pattern, early Linux desktops did it, early iOS X did it, then Microsoft did it with Aero. All these legacy OS's made the same mistake and subsequently dialled back on it, or in the case of Microsoft got rid of it all together. It looks dull and archaic.
 
I'm waiting for the dev site version to come up, I need to do a full restore. I did an update from 6.1.3 and it's been pretty rough. I'm hoping a full restore and setup might help the situation a bit.
