That's what I'm reading. Not ready to update phone til next year prob so trying to decide if there is enough to temp me. Is there likely to be minor UI updates that fix any lag on the 4?
 
Is there a close all apps button/swipe?

I swear I read they are introducing that. Perhaps I was thinking it was request and mistakenly thought it was something apple introduced.

The most I can flick away like Palm OS is 3 at a time. better than 1 at a time before but close all would be great.

there is no such button or swipe....
shud wait for any app to be available in appstore for such things

And I suppose as per usual with apple you can't roll back to ios6 if its laggy?

no. you can downgrade.
 
this is really an importance?

No, it doesn't do that. Apple wants its products to conform to their vision.

I guess the importance question depends on the user.

I wish I could actually read the links in my notes. But now they are yellow and hard to see. Bold, large text, enhanced contrast do not help.

I wish I could see the buttons on the phone keypad and the other features. It is really hard for me to read - impossible for those with vision issues. Apple missed the accessibility mark here. And they were so good about it.

Let me configure my own color schemes, thank you. Clearly Sir Ive has better "vision" than I do.

no. you can downgrade.

How can you do that? This sounds positive!

You can only do it while Apple is still signing iOS 6. You would have to find the download for the iOS 6.1.4 (iphone 5) or 6.1.3 (all other iPhones) ipsw, and then download that on your computer, plug in your phone, and press the alt key, then either restore or update in iTunes, and select the file.

However, Apple only keeps the signing window open for a max of a day or so after they release a new version of iOS, so that window will probably be closed very soon.
 
7 to 8 in not time at all.

When will iOS 8 be released?

I just downloaded the IOS7 and hate the graphics and found some bugs in it already. This ios7 is like windows 8 and they force it on you is you like it or not. That is why I am waiting for IOS8 for the IPHONE. Maybe Apple will learn to not try to copy Microsoft and the Vista & 8.

There are patches to software but when you have a bad produce it is hard to patch it.

rmarkwar is thinking about another phone. (almost upgraded to a 5s) :mad:

shsh blobs do nothing if you have an iPhone 4S or 5. If you are on these devices, you are limited to downgrading as long as Apple is still signing the old firmware. Once they stop doing this (within a few hours to a few days), you can no longer downgrade those devices under any circumstances.

yes correct. i was telling abt i4 for wch the person asked
 
Can't you just save ios 6 ipsw file and restore from it any time you want? I just keep it on my PC in case I decided to go back.

Ah, yes I missed their post saying they had a 4. Then yes, you're right. :cool:

No, you cannot. Only if you have an iPhone 4 or previous, and even then it's not as simple as that. But if you have an iPhone 4S, 5 or newer, it is not possible at all.
 
Does anyone have a link for all the iOS 7 features?

Web searches seem to bring up the top 10 or the most important. Apple needs to prove there are hundreds. :)
 
I don't get the paralex wallpaper thing. How does it work lol is it only certain wall papers?
 
Anyone to confirm this?
When it's charged at 100% it still shows the charging symbol near the battery. I remember in iOS6 when it's fully charged the charging symbol was changed to wall plug symbol. Is it the same with you guys on iOS7 or it still shows charging symbol? Just wanted to make sure...

It only works with the iPhone 4S, 5, iPod touch 5g, iPad Mini, and iPad 3 and 4.

It will only work with static wallpapers, not dynamic. And it can't be a plain wallpaper - well it could, but you won't notice anything.

Take the default night sky wallpaper with stars. As you move your phone around, you should see the wallpaper moving behind the icons - giving the illusion that the icons are floating above the background. It's probably more subtle than you think it is. Give it a shot.

Yes that is how it works on iOS 7. Don't worry, you're not having an issue.

Oh thanks it works lol yeah using the default not the dynamic ones though. Just using the white tree ones. Hate to say it but this OS is growing on me now already.
 
itunes 11.1 on 10.6.8

downloaded ios 7 on my phone, and (thought i had) downloaded itunes 11.1 on my mac which is running on OSX 10.6.8.
However it kept saying it still needs to update to 11.1 to sync with my phone, but however many times i check for update, it says its already up to date. But it is actually only running itunes 11.0.5...
Will the new itunes only work on Lion onwards?
Is there something i'm doing wrong? dont wanna get Lion as my macbook pro is from 2009 and may struggle with it! But now my phone wont sync with my computer! help!
 
In iOS 7 how can I specify how to FaceTime someone? e.g. which email address to FaceTime someone by, or phone number?

Download iTunes 11.1 directly from Apple's website. Just google Apple.com iTunes and it should take you to the iTunes page. Click the download tab, and then download where it says iTunes 11.1
