Oh wow. That's a biggie. I already enabled it. How do I disable it? I just assumed like other things, it would only do it when connected to wifi

Am I the only one that has an iDevice with the auto-update app is not working...? I turned it on, but then I realized that an update came to Facebook and Twitter, and I had to go to the App Store and manually update it (I had to give my password as well... I though giving passwords in order to update was left behind...). Is this happening to anyone else?
The rest of iOS 7 is great, I love it! At first, you understand nothing, it just doesn't seem good. Use it for some hours (1 or 2...) and you'll start loving it!
Sometimes it takes a bit for apps to update themselves. I'm not sure what triggers it, actually, but it isn't always instant. The App Store seems to be experiencing some hiccups right now which might also contribute to slow updates.
Use Identify to tag them correctly and you shouldn't have a problem recognizing them .
This is something you can actually change. Go to general/accessibility in settings and look for "bold text". The end result looks a bit more like iOS6.
Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. There's a "Use Cellular Data" toggle there that will prevent updates and other content from being transferred while on a cellular connection.
Not a solution. If I do that I can't play my iTune Match content, or iTunes Radio. It needs to have its own independent setting for this.
Yeah thats a good point....that is the one of the only really useful features in the update.
Very lame...
I find myself liking 7 more than I thought I would. My '5' is much faster. So far my only request is to be able to change the color of the fonts. Black to me, would be better than white.
iOS 7 doesn't look nearly as good on iPhone 4 than it does on iPhone 5. Got both sitting side by side - everything looks so cramped up on the 3.5" screen, not sure why. And definitely doesn't run as smoothly with the A4. Ugh...
Air drop is specifically a hardware feature. Your hardware has to have enough "MIMO" antennas to stay connected to the regular wi-fi network, and split one off for a dedicated channel. It's the same physical chip that lets your a AirPort Extreme run two network SSID's at the same time.
Control Center, not impressed
This "shortcut" is not really useful. I still had to go to "Bluetooth" in order to select the desired speaker and when a friend called I was knocked off the App which required I go back to "Bluetooth". Did I miss something? The only convenience I find is there are fewer layers to "Bluetooth".

Thank you. I was looking how to make the font more visible.

The font color is dependent on the background. Try changing your wallpaper to white and you will get a black font.
Why do I have to squint to see the outline of the "Paste" button now?
First person to say "Oh just use a different background" gets a sock in the nose for missing the point. You don't blame the user for bad design decisions.

Looks and acts like Android 2 years ago. Step in up
It looks like MIUI, but without the stability issues and poor translations that come with reverse-engineering it to run on [Evo 4G].

I wish the color scheme would change depending what environment you were in.
Example: bright environment = bright/light interface, dark environment = gray/black interface.

Well, that's worth the download all by itself.
Overall, I like iOS 7... Enough that the third-party app icons and screens look woefully antiquated now. Look forward to finding new little tidbits in the iOS over the coming weeks.
finally data control and saving $$$$ when roaming
"Cellular Data Usage: iOS 7 provides an overview of the amount of data that each app uses. Go to Seeings > Cellular and scroll down to the bottom to view the amount of data that apps are using. It is also possible to toggle Cellular Data usage on and off for specific apps that are eating up a significant amount of data when on a Cellular connection. "
Finally! I am still using a phone back from the time of the dinosaurs (a blackberry). While overall I can't stand this device there is one feature that makes is kick-ass for international travel: almost zero data usage for email. Up until now the iphone data has either been on or off which means you have a hoice between a $200 cell phone bill and getting your email. The blackberry uses so little data (pennies really) that I can travel to the US from Canada for a week without worrying about having a data plan. Now it looks like I will be able to do the same thing with my iphone 5s...

Thanks! That looks much better. Pity I can't change it on the app.
Is anyone having trouble accessing spotlight search? I try swiping down and all i get is the notification screen.
Or does it have to be enabled?
My iPhone 5 was perfectly fine before the update. iOS 7 killed the battery life. I turned off background updates, parallax, etc. and it still sucked. They did a reset at the Apple store and it drained 20% in 20 minutes. They swapped out to replacement 5 with iOS 6, and that's where I'm staying.
