We have an iPad 3 and a Mini. The Mini was updated to iOS 7 but I'm keeping the iPad 3 on iOS 6 for now. I don't much like iOS 7 and see no reason to upgrade the 3. Perhaps later they will address some of the things I dislike about it.
Have iPad 3 and a mini, not updating either to iOS 7. I don't really like how iOS 7 looks, find it much harder to use than iOS 6. I'm especially not pleased with how many of the stock iOS apps are now just blown-up iPhone apps instead of being specifically formatted for tablet size.
That said, I will most likely get iPad 5, so I guess I'll have to learn to live with iOS 7 then.
Upgraded my 3 to iOS 7 since the second beta came out. Only real slowing effect I've seen is when setting the background. Other then that the performance for me is just like iOS 6.
I upgraded to iOS 7 the day after it was officially released and am so happy I did. I love it. My only issue is the slight lag on the keyboard when switching between letters and numbers but the benefits far outweigh that small issue plus I can't believe that Apple won't fix it very soon at which point I'll be 100% happy.
IPad 3 owner here and I'm still on ios 6. But only because I'm Jailbroken. My iphone 5 is running ios 7. My wife and kid are running ios 7 on their phones and iPads.
Ill upgrade as soon as I can Jailbreak. Got to be able to watch local hockey..
Same here. I actually tried iOS 7, and it worked better than I expected. But I don't really like the design, I didn't like the changes to Safari, and one of the apps I use the most kept crashing.
I'm happy with iOS 6. The newer version doesn't have anything I consider a "must have".
I actually upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPad 3 on day 1 to see what it was like. I don't depend on my iPad for anything and can accept a little lag which is all that I have experienced.
I've kept iOS 6 on my iPhone 5 though and have no plans to update to iOS 7. I like getting multi-day battery life with iOS 6.
I am still on 6.1 because I am jailbroken. I am not fond of the new OS 7. I think it is bland and ugly. I don't think I will never get rid of my jailbreak. The themes that I have are so much better looking than the OS 7. This is just my opinion.
I hesitated for a few weeks due to the horror stories I read about with regard to the iPad 3 and iOS 7. However, I began to notice that a lot of apps weren't updating on iOS6 -- and that some new releases were iOS7 only so I upgraded.
I did it OTA and it's been running about as well for me as iOS 6 did. No problems or lag that didn't already exist previously.
