I lost you the moment you said nexus 7 and Android are nicer and better looking than iOS 7
They brought back the ability to add entire albums to playlists. Now if only they give us the option to delete albums/artists.
You must be joking
It is hard to believe that a billion dollar organisation with unlimited resources can only produce such trivial changes over a 12 month release cycle. One would think that Apple employs 6 people to work on IOS.

Why on earth would they shrink the 'call' button to a small circle?!
The answer and decline buttons too? Apple what the hell is the matter with you. Leave the good stuff alone, and fix the stuff that needs fixing.
And bring back the dark keyboard option!

I specifficaly registered to forums to post this, so please bear with me....
Who the hell ever uses numpad dialer ever ??? (except for my grandma)
Is it too much to ask Apple to add some functionality to freaking dialer , some that was invented like 10 years ago on nokia s60 phones, and is called "SMART DIALER" . Is this so far off ?
Functionality of this is that when you start typing on dialer looking at the letters below, it automaticaly chooses numbers and names based on your combination of numbers(letters below them)
See inserted pictures for that old but amazing invention... It changes everything!
In the first one , just 2 and 5 was pressed , meaning all combinations with "abc" as first letter and "jkl" as second letter of name of your contact is shown.
In the second one, 55 was entered, meaning all combinations of "jkl5" and "jkl5" will be shown.
Please Apple, buy and implement!!
It is by far quickest way of finding contact and dialing

6, that's about the right number - all the other employees are busy dumbing down iWork - to work on the dumbed down iOS.
incoming call screen fiasco
ios6 incoming call screen had two high contrast buttons with large easy to read text.
ios7 incoming call screen has four rectangle closely spaced, transparent buttons with micro font. I missed a lot of incoming calls because I had to get my reading glasses out to figure out which transparent box to push.
Baby boomers are roughly the 45 - 65 age bracket. This is the age you start needing reading glasses. They are a very important marketing group because they have a lot of money to buy expensive toys.
This is a telling design failure at Apple.
Its obvious to me a younger group designed ios7 with no input from an older test market group. i.e. They assumed everyone has perfect vision.
Its good to see Apple addressing this in ios7.1 But I have to believe this blunder would have never got out the door under Steve's watch.

Check out an app called "Fliple". It does the search that I think you tried to describe.
No, not true. People that do not have balance in their lives do not do great things. Conversely people that eat, sleep, breathe something can fail just as spectacularly as someone that does not. Go visit the museum of spectacular Apple Fails. Be a human being first and being a cog in a machine is easy. Base your value on being a cog in a machine first and a human will come along and bust all your teeth off....
So your contention is that there are no leapfrog products that have ever been created during 9-5 business hours? Just so you know I'll take that bet. http://www.snopes.com/business/origins/post-it.asp Just one example off the top of my head.
Now your muddying your response. Your responsibility is your life. In no way should your responsibility ever be your company as your are a renewable resource to them. Rule number one of security is to make sure no one is indispensable or irreplaceable. You are easily replaceable and often for less money. Watch Falling Down (the movie). I know one person in the IT industry that has been with the same company for more than 5 years. He's a 9 to 5'er. I've known lots (100's) of "available 24 hrs a day"ers. Not one of them has been at the same company for more than 5 years. You're ideology is reminiscent of the 1950's. In this day and age doing more than 9 to 5 makes you a threat to your boss. Coming up with streamlined operations or revolutionary products is rewarded with "thanks for increasing our bottom line, there's the door," because you are a threat to chief staff.
There are exceptions to the rule. I can understand being available for a product launch since those happen once maybe twice a year? They are not a nightly thing...
iPad screen not sleeping
Since updating to Beta 3, my iPad screen never goes to sleep. I have to press the on/off button on the top of the iPad. Anyone else noticed this?

Have you checked and perhaps tried changing your auto-lock settings? Perhaps restarting the device might help as well? If not resetting all settings?
Can someone tell me if the annoying "Turn on wi-fi to improve accuracy" pop-up, almost everytime I try to take a photograph, is fixed by any means ?
Still not an iOS7 fan
The biggest problem with the phone app is not the brightness of its icon it's that the interface is not as intuitive as iOS6 and the app itself is unstable. Don't get me started on that awful calendar app. I'm still an Apple fan, but iOS7 has been a misstep, IMO.

Calendar has been tweaked in 7.1 where it's close in functionality/features to what it is like pre iOS 7.
I don't think they are going to fix it, as they don't consider that a bug but a normal behavior.
I don't like it too ....
I must agree about the smaller buttons. Whether you're lefty or righty, your natural instinct will be to tap to the left or right of the button. It just happened to me.
