Why do so many people care about icons?
My question is why wasn't there an ios7 for iPad demo?
I'm guessing it doesn't quite work.
And for God's sake, don't tell me auto app updates are mandatory. Ugh!

Sigh, too many "if Apple doesn't do what [Android phone x] does then I'm switching"
Nobody cares. Do what you want, it doesn't affect or interest us IN THE SLIGHTEST!
like ios 7 dont care for some of the icons but if you use a dark background image it looks better imo
It's a nice update on iOS7 and Mac Pro which was very impressive, but I'm going to wait and see how things unfold.
So I have to OBJECT to your SUBJECTIVE butt-kissing of Apple's presentation today stating MS and Android is dead.
MS and Android is far from dead. You're an attorney, aren't you?
Be objective, not subjective.
I for one refuse to update to iOS7. It's extremely ugly and designed by a 8 year old girl who loves to play candyland. Flat, square, and white design is completely unattractive. It's a no go for me. As someone who had an iPhone since the beginning the S4 is looking good or I may just keep iOS6.
"Store will now update apps automatically, doing away with manual updates."
Sounds very annoying; I like to read what updates will do and leave them a while before updating. There are always issues with updates it seems as they are never tested thoroughly enough, probably due to the complexity.

Umm No. There is nothing in this new iOS version that isn't already in Android. The only difference is to decide on hardware.

That's what I was afraid of. It already starts with the lock screen: it is still the same gesture (swiping from left to right) but the UI does not make it obvious like the previous version, because there is only text and no slider anymore. What I've seen on numerous screenshots is that iOS 7 does this on a much larger scale, e.g. the 'send' button in Messages is just text, same goes for the Contacts app (no 'edit' button). It is worse than I actually thought, very disappointing.
Yes I have an Android phone now and I can synch - but usually by installing third party apps on my Mac. However, the automatic synching between all of your apple devices in the background - including purchased apps and content - is worthy of note.
The point is - all of the major advantages that people pointed out with the Android platform has been addressed in these updates. Additionally - it will work back to the desktop platform.
Now I am still holding final judgement overall until I see what has been updated in iWork later this year - but the web based versions demonstrated today were impressive and if tightly linked with the client versions of iWork - will be well received. For example - if you look at the Android versions of Drive - they have less features than the browser version. In contrast - the iOS versions of iWork now are much closer to the features provided by the client software.
I also saw more features demonstrated with Siri than I can do now with my google voice. So again - I think Apple recognized where they were lacking to Android in iOS6 and addressed them without giving up their existing strong points.
Ive noticed that every single photo and video of an iphone with ios 7 is a white iphone.
I wonder how it will look on a black iphone. I feel like it will look really odd since everything is bright and colourful and white. it will be a weird contrast.

Would you look at that. Drop down toggles. I remember people telling me that I should g t f o and go to android because iOS doesn't need anything like this. In extremely happy with this update. iOS is finally got almost everything I enjoy on Android. Bravo team. Sounds like you are listening to your power users!!!!
Ok, the camera app looks like cheap junk from Android, and the icons look absolutely disgusting, but the new features are exciting.
