My albums appear fragmented in many cases, even though they're not fragmented on my iTunes.

If I download a song, it doesn't always stay in the music app and I'll have to download it again every time.

I have only been able to dload iTunes purchased music to my iPhone 5S. I tried to transfer a couple of albums on a number of occasions without success. The albums successfully transferred to my iPod. Hopefully, this updated corrects this.
 
Anyone else notice that after Steve, updates are more common? Before when Steve was around, most updates had larger impacts. Not something like 15MB that we saw on 7.0.3

Well, we didn't see ANY incremental updates until iOS 6 which was after Steve Jobs was no longer active at Apple. It wasn't but a few weeks after iOS 6 launched that Steve Jobs died.

Prior to incremental OTA updates, you had to download the whole firmware image. So although your comment is true, it really doesn't have much meaning.

There were not very many iOS 5 updates, but there were a crap ton of iOS 4 updates:

I don't see the correlation. I think you are imagining it.
 
In other news, the pot called the kettle black. :p

Since iOS 6 provided Apple the ability to do OTA delta updates, it's now a lot easier for them to release minor updates (like 7.0.3) to many users quickly instead of having to bundle it in with a much larger update. It also allows Apple to quickly fix things like security bugs and push them out to every user at once in a tiny package.

I'm sure you meant iOS 5, which launched iCloud and the "PC Free" features of on-device setup and OTA updates.
 
I hope this update fixes the Music App so I can finally upgrade to ios7, if not I'm sticking with ios6

Hmmmm.... I haven't experienced any such issues.
 
Hopefully 7.1 is the real iOS 7 for the iPad..and optimized for the iPad..

iOS7 right now on the iPad seriously does not feel right at home. Almost everything feels stretched out from the iPhone.
 
I'm just praying they resolve a battery issue that is affecting many customers, based on my visit Monday to the Apple Store. Genius rep ran a diagnostic which found my phone shut down around 27% while connected to the cell network. Not sure if it was the phone or iOS 7, but I wasn't the only one there with a battery issue. So I asked for, and received, a replacement phone. The best thing is it's running 6.1.4, and I'm getting much better battery life and it hasn't shut down on me yet. I do miss 7, but will not upgrade until these issues are resolved.
 
Fix the damn music app. Scrolling through expanded artist albums! Ain't knowbody got time fo dat.
 
Out of curiosity, I wonder what the actual numbers are? The graphs don't have any labels or y axis.

Are you implying that without the y axis the chart is virtually useless. Well in case you aren't let me say this, WITHOUT THE Y AXIS LABELS THE CHART IS USELESS and perhaps even deceitful. But I usually blame it on journalists with poor understanding of math.

Color me jaded, but what it does (and everybody else mind you, Java is the worst) is allow Apple to release poorly tested software due to a marketing deadline, knowing full well that they will be able to patch the software via OTA updates. In the old days you lived or died by what went out on a floppy disk or CD to your distribution channels. Now you get endless chances to fix and re-fix.

Perhaps because the article is about the increase in activity and not the specific numbers themselves. For the purposes of the actual article (its headline and content) it would seem that the graphs fit in and demonstrate the point without any specific "y-axis" numbers being necessary.
 
Well, my iPhone 5 is now sold, and my new SIM card activated in my lovely new Nexus 5. Even today using my iPhone (I didn't get my new SIM till this afternoon), iOS7 locked up trying to call a number. It's crap, pure buggy beta level crap. But I couldn't stand it's looks or user experience first and foremost. If Apple gave me an option to go back to iOS6 I would have done so and stayed, but Apple doesn't do things like that.

So I am a very happy non iOS7 camper and I most certainly did NOT let the door hit me in the rear end as I walked out. I slammed it open first!

Tis a bit of an eye opener having a 5" screen that's for sure! I can see what all the Galaxy Note boy's were raving about now.
 
Phone 5 shutting down with 20% battery life left

I hope that apple fixes battery issues
i have a lot of randoms shutdowns



:eek:

This. I would say my only/biggest gripe of iOS 7 is how they ruined the Music App. You can't just isolate an artists album anymore. You have to go through alllll of the albums first to get to the one at the bottom of the list...The music app needs a serious overhaul

You're not the only one. Take it into the Genius Bar, have them run a diagnostic and demand a new phone running 6.1.4. Worked for me and I'm getting 9 hours battery life, mostly on wifi.

They did for me. I'm running 6.1.4 on a nice, shiny replacement iPhone 5. I was very polite, but insistent. Though my main problem was the phone kept shutting down around 25%.
 
I wish the update(s) would bring the following improvements/functionality/fixes:

#1. BATTERY LIFE - battery life - battery life. (Had my iPhone 5 for three months, and have yet to calibrate my battery. I know I have to do it, sooner or later). I'm not a heavy user, and somehow I have become quite obsessive with its percentage display.
#2. Better iMessage synching between iOS and OS X Mavericks. Sometimes it works, some others it doesn't.
#3. Random reboots/respring - I have never experienced those back in the iOS6 days. Now, the phone respings even after changing the wallpaper and after resetting the phone.
#4. Gmail.
#5. The keypad when dialing. The backspace button is hardly visible; I think it should be bigger and noticeable.
#6. The chance to split "Reduce motion" and Parallax into two different features.

All the best,
^MPY
