Nothing's changed with how Apple do things, so why complain. Why take the time to sign up to this forum and complain, when they clearly couldn't be bothered to sign up before to find out about iOS7. It's been well documented for months!

It's called a few moments of fame…. attention seeking… whatever you want to name it….

Controversial statements always brings attention - that is why you are getting much more rhetoric and dramatic statements on MR……

So one last OMG how can you not see how wrong it is to not let people who paid hundreds of dollars on a product to revert back to the previous operating system.? Is that so hard to understand????

I believe you could have reverted back in the first few days. It's a shame you did not know this. I'm not trying to bully or anything. It just sucks you didn't find out that you had a small window to revert back.

It's so sad... I used to be so excited about apple products. I remember the anticipation waiting on line at nite for the iphone 4. Now I see how blindly many of you are led like sheep, or like communists who parrot the party line released by Pravda. Apple says no access to io6, Apple must be right. The poor soul who downloaded the Io7 and is miserable about it is treated like a troll or called to blame because they trusted the upgrade without doing enough research... And you defend this corporation blindly without question. And this makes me firm in my resolve that what has happened here is very, very wrong, and that the consumer must be protected from this arrogant corporation .... And it would be so very simple for apple to allow a week or two window for those who want to revert....

You call us sheep being blindly led by Apple..and yet you're the one who blindly hit update without doing any research because..it was Apple...

Ironic.
 
The OP could switch to an Android OS phone, that way after a few months he won't have to worry about upgrading.

Funny, cus my old Samsung Galaxy is running CyanogenMod 9 (equates to Android 4) just fine even though it shipped with an older Android version. If you buy a popular device and not just a cheap one then it will be supported by CyanogenMod.

I wonder how many people who wheel out this tired excuse have actually used Android.
 
46 pages of complaints at just one of many threads at Apple site

There are many, many former apple supporters who are furious with Apples arrogance in not allowing a revert to io6. I hope they all speak with their wallets and refuse to buy any more Apple produucts. The consumer made Apple what it is today, and by ignoring iits customers, Apple is making a colossal blunder. Hell hath no fury like a consumer who has been screwed by a major corporation.

There was no warning of such a drastic change. Like most unsuspecting consumers, I got a message on my equipment about an upgrade and I upgraded. Luckily I have warned others who have no idea that the product that they purchased is about to be altered in a huge way

Apple held massive keynotes detailing in extreme all of the changes in iOS 7. This is one of the dumbest threads I've read on MacRumours, and that's quite an award.

You do realise that Apple let people restore to iOS 6 for like 4 days after 7 came out right? Lol...
 
I'm not really impressed with iOS 7 either OP, but you sound a little immature. Nevertheless, if your movement spreads as far as England, I might consider joining. Perhaps the few that you can recruit will bring down a multibillion dollar global corporation. :rolleyes:

Then you needn't worry about any movement - no need to rant and rave - correct?

No need to treat other users like idiots - most Apple users are intelligent bunch. If they feel they are being shafted they will ditch Apple for competition.. It will happen because users are feeling shafted - not because you are telling them to...

Apple will get their comeuppance, they will face their destiny…. as you say - so why this vitriolic rhetoric ?

You are in fact insulting intelligence of Apple users by trying to convince them to shaft Apple, and it is for something you shouldn't have upgraded to and/or downgraded to, when you had chance….

What are you trying to do - become Martin Luther King - start a movement against Apple - the person who brought Apple to its knees??? What for? For Apple providing you new OS at no cost ?

Is your car exactly the same as the day you purchased it?

Your house?

Anything you own?

Have you ever read any of the License Agreements for your vast array of Apple products?

You've already stated in this thread that you haven't been following the news of this update for most of this year, so why did you just confirm the update without tapping Learn More?

I'm sure Apple stock will plummet from your boycott/protest/sit-in whatever, as you join the legions of ice cream sundae, jelly-belly, gummy-bear users, because no other company ever updates their software.

M$ is supporting downgrades? Can you easily (& legally) roll-back to Win7, XP still supported? Dell, Sony, HP or any other manufacturer makes it easy to roll-back firmware updates?

Started by iOS? Hardly.

Yes you can legally downgrade windows installations with either a backup image or the particular versions installation media. You know, standard software rollback stuff.

You can, but it's NOT easy by any means on some laptops that ship with Windows 8 out of the box.

It isn't at no cost though is it???
I have spent more than 15 hours doing DFU installs trying to correct my severe battery drain. I waste my time scouring the forums searching for answers and still I have a badly performing o/s on my phone. I wish that I had stayed on iOS6.1.4 and just continued with my life, not being bothered by this problem.
 
gotluck said:
Um yeah he did whatever. So you'd rather not have the option if it is too hard? Lol
Click to expand...
Well, yeah? If the pain in the ass threshold is higher for trying to downgrade than it is for just sticking with a few changes you don't like, then why bother?

So now you have a choice - correct? You can ditch Apple and let your voice be heard….

Sorry to hear you are having a battery drain, but just cuz you are having a severe battery drain, that most people don't - you are not trying to start any movement, are you?

200 million devices have downloaded iOS 7 and I am sure most of them will be behaving well. Some will be facing problems, but that is the nature of the beast - no two phones will behave exactly the same, just like any other electronics….
 
And the same people who complain that they can't roll back would complain if they wanted some feature that will only be availble on IOS 7 devices. I want the latest and greatest version of my app but I can't get it because it is only written for IOS 7 :(
You may not like progress but it always happens.
If I were an app developer I'd quickly not worry about those who don't want to upgrade - I can't program for all versions etc.

How many Adroid phones even get updates and new functions.

Saying you didn't know what was coming but saying you are a big user of iPhone is just impossible.

I dont think like that. I would rather have the option.
Apple is the software Nazi - no soup for you! Funny considering Apple is supposed to be as american as apple pie, yet everything is their way or the highway.

It would be nice to have the choice though. I'm not able to update to the latest version of Evernote because my iPhone is still on iOS6. I weighed up the pros and cons...

Pro: update to iOS7 and I can get rid of the awful cork board effect in Evernote

Con: upgrade to iOS7 and I lose BiteSMS

I decided that what I would gain would be outweighed by what I would lose.

See? Choices. Aren't they nice. If I ever need to restore my phone however that choice goes completely out the window.

That has always been Apple's and Steve's philosophy…. Its nothing new…. Why does it even come as a surprise?

That is why Android entered the market to give people options who seek them…

Android will never be a closed ecosystem, same way Apple will never be an open system…

Its just the way it is and as a consumer - you have a choice - open or a close system? Pointless bitching about in on Apple Forum asking for choices, same as going on Android Forum and asking them to make it close system and give everyone latest upgrade and make it all seamless and one fits all….

I'm sorry? No warning of such a drastic change?

You didn't see the front page of the Apple website since June?
http://www.apple.com/ios/

You didn't see any of the news coverage of the iOS7 announcement?
http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/10/apple-ios-7/
http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/10/4407630/apple-announces-ios-7

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer...pecs-and-features-everything-you-need-to-know

It wasn't just technology blogs which covered the story either:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22846725
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/...ts-new-vs-android-and-windows-phones/2414023/
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...r-iPhone-revealed-at-WWDC-as-it-happened.html

It's not like it wasn't heavily publicised.

I have. And I'm talking about stock android without having to do any mods or anything to install the latest kernel. You don't have to do anything to install iOS on your device. No custom kernels, no waiting for your cell phone provider... stuff the average smartphone owner can do.
