iOS 7 GM is still BETA for me.

The GM is what will be released next week, that's why it is a GM. It's also what will be installed on all the new iPhones delivered or purchased next Friday. How do you think they will update the phones currently in boxes ready to be shipped?
I don't see how this is even true, I am running the GM as new on my iPod touch and it isn't acting up the way you are describing, and both have the A5. For me this has been better than betas 5 and 6.
Reporting bugs to Apple does not guarantee that they'll be solved.
Apple has logged bugs that have been open for 3+ years in iOS.
There are several that Apple acknowledged in the iOS 7 Betas that have not been fixed in the GM.
I didn't say that they would be able to change it, I said I hoped that it was different. If that is not the case, then its on apple. If the GM that we have is the os that will be on new phones, it isn't ready.
Works just fine for me. Next time try not to jump the gun by downloading from a third party website and wait for the public release.
Plug iPhone into USB.
Turn off iPhone.
Hold Power and Home for ten seconds.
Release Power and keep holding Home.
iTunes will sound and pop up.
Alt-click restore and locate IPSW and select.

On my iPad 2 beta 6 was absolutely unusable but GM is pretty solid. Of course It's not as fast as it was two years ago but it's pretty solid comparing to Beta 6.

Yesterday the GM on my iPhone 4 wouldn't register swipes to unlock. You could open CC / NC etc, but the thing just wouldn't register unlocking swipes, and I had to reboot the device. After restarting, I unlocked and accidentally tapped the settings icon. I immediately hit the home button, and returned to the home screen. Settings majestically opened itself. I hit the home button and returned to the home screen. Settings majestically opened itself again. On the third attempt, I was allowed to exit Settings without getting inexplicably taken back into the app. Here's to hoping for some quick bug fixes if Apple ship this GM.
For what it's worth, I can't replicate these, but I can replicate the bugs in @DoctorKrabs' videos.

Hehe, apple engineers were not involved at all in iOS7 it seems...its just a skin ontop of iOS6, thats what i feel. They just inbuilt a few new apps such as multitasking and control center, gave the whole OS a childish facelift and added stupid animations -useless parallax effect, altogether resulting in eating up more of iDevices resources. It works out great for Apple too, because you would feel like upgrading to their latest power toy.
iOS7 does not feel like it was made with a purpose but instead just a facelift. Yes go ahead and defend how amazing it is but I have been an iOS user from 2007 and this felt like a total let down.
Dude, the GM release is the exact same thing as the public release on September 18th.
It doesn't make a difference. He will have the same issues on the day of public release nevertheless.
