iOS 7 is not ready for release. Not even close.

[rez07]

I call this BS...i don´t even talk about my experience on the 4s, but my parents iPad 2 that i updated on saturday - they absolutely love iOS7 and didn´t call me with problems a single time, there isn´t a better proof than this

 

[Lerxt]

Steve Jobs would have never let this out.

iOS 7 is so full of little problems and issues in the GM that it makes me sick to think what will happen at release day. Almost all the bugs I reported to Apple throughout the process did not get addressed. Everything from gestures not being recognized during animations, to apps not accepting touches for a second or more after switching apps, to UIPickerView being broken in the latest XCode, UISegmentedView ignoring tint selected in Interface Builder and drawing all messed up, poorly organized preferences for text display (all hidden away in Accessibility three layers deep), default preferences for Location Services and background activity killing batteries, auto-scrolling not working when you try to extend your text selection off the bottom of the screen, moving the insertion point does not place it where you tap (but places it at the end or beginning of a word), apps that were quit on purpose still reopen after restarting the device, background parallax motion looks terrible and only has one layer (and has a noticeable motion detection dead-zone after a period of stillness, causing the effect to be very inconsistent and jerky), new camera app interface is kludgy, you have to double-swipe down in many apps to get to the Notifications Center now (or double-swipe up to get to the Control Center) which is an annoying extra step, there's no way to have an alarm that requires passcode entry to shut off anymore, there's still no way to change brightness from minimum to maximum without using the touch-screen (but if you're in the sun you can't see it at all if the brightness is on minimum, making this a huge pain), white text of the lock screen clock is invisible against white parts of background image...

Over-all I like iOS 7 after using it for awhile but IT'S NOT READY FOR FREAKING RELEASE!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!

Paragraphs.

I don't get all this nonsense. Granted I am not a programmer so don't understand a lot of the opening rant however I am a consumer and can say this - I have used ios7 for several days with NO issues. For me it is a exellent step forward and much improved os.

I remember watching a video of glitches someone had made, couldn't see what they were complaining about. People are so fussy, I wish my life was so easy and strait forward that animation times were the biggest stress I have!

 

[BvizioN]

I must be one of the very few fortunate people around here to not have a single problem with iOS 7 then!!!

LMAO….

No paragraphs as keyboard was buggy….

 

[pMad]

For $60, nothing. For $350, everything. I think maybe the Bose Bluetooth system is that expensive now! but it's a LOT smaller and may or may not sound better.

Oh, I agree it was crazy overpriced.
But it is a great product

 

[Orlandoech]

stopped reading after "Steve Jobs would have never let this out."

How soon you forget about all the crappy things Steve Jobs let happen.

So did I lol. Pointless.

You do, you just havent noticed any of them in your day to day use.

If it's half baked or even 95% baked the Fandroids are going to rip it a new one and it will never live that down. Six months after Maps had been fixed up, the media was still referring to Maps as "much-maligned" and even "broken". I'm a die-hard Apple user since 1984 but I know enough of these Fandroids who have no lives and spend their existence commenting on blogs tearing apart anything Apple, because it's the only thing that brings meaning to their pathetic lives.

As a user of a phone, I couldn't care less what rabid fanboys of any platform say about what I use. If I like it, I like it, if I don't, I don't.

 

[kappaknight]

Oh... iOS 7 is very usable and stable, it's not that. It's a very solid product in most respects.

But I demand nothing short of perfection. I want it to be better in every way than iOS 6. It feels to me like they were afraid to make changes to the organization of where things are placed in the system so that people who know how to use iOS 6 will not be confused in trying to find things. And they won't have to retrain their tech support people as much.

Artists, and people who want to make money ship. Perfection is the unattainable... even 100% bug free is unattainable. If that's where you draw the line, you will never ship. I know iOS 7 is far from perfect, but they made the right choice. In the era of quick OTA software patches, there's no need to make sure things are 100% spot on before shipping. Yes, it's a bit annoying, but that's where things are.

 

[wolsoncpa]

I am so sick and tired of this kind of thread... if you don't want iOS7, then don't update your software! Jesus it actually is THAT simple.

I was thinking the same thing. I got bored after the 4th line. I think your writing needs to be fixed before iOS 7.

Whether its a GM or not, it isn't actually released yet....

Sure has been released......go to the DEV site.

Of the things you mention that are actually iOS 7 issues, I am happy to say I have experienced none of them.

 

[adam044]

I don't have any if these issues

 

[iPhil]

The animation delay really pissed me off. There are also a couple of minor UI problems relating to iOS 6 apps running on iOS 7.

The issue of IOS 6 apps - if there 3rd party ones then issue goes to those devs NOT Apple.. the 3rd party apps will be updated to IOS 7 update either this week or next depending on apple approval process goes smoothly ..

You're right, Jobs let a lot of crappy things out. Ahem. Let me rephrase:

On his best day Steve Jobs wouldn't have let this out. Anyway.

Sorry about my blustery post, as a stockholder, I guess i just want a bit more.. tightness in a major release. I guess most of my complaints were not deemed important enough to push back the release. Priorities.

Well, it's a solid OS update nonetheless. I just want to see it do well, and not get bogged down by the voraciously anti-Apple press as they pick it apart on 'technicalities' that will be addressed within a matter of weeks. Perhaps it's because I remember the Maps fiasco all to well.

People, Apple needs to go back on the offensive, advertising wise. I'm tired of all these milquetoast commercials of kids flopping on beds and hipsters gazing out across New York harbor and all this crud. I want Apple to take Android and Windows Phone to task by showing all the things iOS devices can do that the others can't... by highlighting the technical inferiority of those platforms for many applications... I feel like Apple is trying to take the high road right now but I would like to see them get after it again. I kinda miss the Mac vs. PC commercials.

However they really really should not have two completely different places in the System Preferences where the appearance of Text can be manipulated. Stuff like that.

If it's half baked or even 95% baked the Fandroids are going to rip it a new one and it will never live that down. Six months after Maps had been fixed up, the media was still referring to Maps as "much-maligned" and even "broken".

And they will go after the slightest arguable flaws of iOS 7. It should therefore be flawless before release, and so well-polished that no one argue there is a single thing wrong with it without looking like a complete idiot.

But that's just my opinion, and I'm also not in charge of a multi-billion-dollar cell phone company that is cranking millions and millions of phones out, and updates out to hundreds of millions of users. So what do I know? LOL. I'm just a complainer right?

Everyone will love iOS 7 and there won't be a fiasco like there was with Maps. And no one will lose their VP position this time. Right guys? Just release it.

The GM isn't all that bad on my IP5. I like it a lot more than iOS 6. My biggest gripe is the lousy animation when one rotates the screen...Seems so, IP4.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get iOS 7.0.1 tomorrow, or something even later.

I wish man that would be interesting, but doubt it they probably will wait until the server stress is gone maybe a couple of days and that is really if theyre rushing to fix the bugs.

 

[T-Will]

In addition to everything the OP mentioned, there is also a huge bug in iOS 7 that doesn't allow paragraphs when typing a forum post.

Also, these aren't what I would call "bugs":

Almost all the bugs I reported to Apple throughout the process did not get addressed. . . .

poorly organized preferences for text display (all hidden away in Accessibility three layers deep), . . .

default preferences for Location Services and background activity killing batteries, . . .

background parallax motion looks terrible and only has one layer (and has a noticeable motion detection dead-zone after a period of stillness, causing the effect to be very inconsistent and jerky), . . .

new camera app interface is kludgy, . . .

you have to double-swipe down in many apps to get to the Notifications Center now (or double-swipe up to get to the Control Center) which is an annoying extra step, . . .

there's no way to have an alarm that requires passcode entry to shut off anymore, . . .

there's still no way to change brightness from minimum to maximum without using the touch-screen (but if you're in the sun you can't see it at all if the brightness is on minimum, making this a huge pain)

I really like iOS 7, been using since Beta 1. However I agree with what the poster said. It feels more like Beta 7 than the GM release. Lots of bugs, animations feel very slow (and from the hands on several outlets posted, it is not much different on a 5S, we'll see).

• iTunes match is still pretty much unusable if you have a big library (I have around 600 albums from a particular artist, including bootlegs, etc, If I want to see their album, the music App freezes). Also, why isn't there an option to collapse artist view? If I have an artist with 100 albums and want to listen to the most recent one, I have to scroll through the full song list of the previous 99 albums.
• Random App crashes, are still very common. Hope they get fixed as developers update their apps but still, it is very annoying.

Those are some issues I can think off right now, I am sure there are more I have experienced but those came up to my head atm.

My iPad 2 does have bugs with the GM. None of them effect the usability of the iPad, they are mostly graphical glitches where colors are slightly off during animations, transparency getting whacked out during animations and sometimes wallpaper taking a second to load after closing apps. On thing I have noticed that bothers me is that iOS 7 does lag a lot where I didn't notice iOS 6 doing so. I hope these bugs get worked out but the overall look and feel of iOS 7 is great and I enjoy the look and feel more than the old iOS look and feel.

Good luck with that.

I'd be surprised if we get iOS 7.0.1 for iPhones at all. Here's how it will likely go down, as it's a pattern from Apple:

iOS 7.0 public release for iPhones & iPod Touches only, tomorrow.

iOS 7.0.1 comes on new iPads in October, and public release for older (compatible) iPads also available (skipping 7.0 for iPads).

iOS 7.0.2 addresses bug fixes for all iOS 7 devices in December.

iOS 7.1 in Q1 2014 adds iOS in the car.

If there's some major bug, then maybe 7.0.2 will be bumped up and we'll get a 7.0.3 in december.
