No, the animations are not turned off. The swooshing and sliding animations are replaced by equally slow fade animations instead.
Not quite equally slow, even though they could still be improved by being faster and/or interruptible.
 
Strange, I find that the fades are much faster. Back to roughly the sort of speed iOS6 had.

I'll also reiterate for another person who keeps going on about the music app. I have had no issues with it. I use it every day for about 5-6 hours (I'm constantly playing music at work). I'm not saying that others are or aren't having issues. I'm saying that I don't.

The fade animations are faster. However, there is a short delay after the animation during which touch input is not recognized. That is probably what they're talking about.
 
anyone else still pissed about them taking lead out of gas? im pissed. So pissed, I had a movement.
 
cry baby

Get over it ios7 brings vast improvements to the table if you don't like it try Android or Windows phone. Not being able to revert is for consistency in the apple ecosystem so that every device is running the same OS making it more streamlined and smooth.

You DO know that not every iOS device is running the same version, right? Right?
 
Frustration, to be sure- but honestly, couldn't Apple have just as easily left the rollback window open for a few extra days?[/QUOTE]

Agreed. As much as I love ios7, the main reason I want to downgrade is because of battery issues. My battery has gone down a faster (although it's improved a bit with 7.0.2, haven't upgraded to 7.0.3 yet) than with iOS 6. Otherwise I'm loving iOS 7, but the battery issue does make me want to downgrade until my 5s arrives.
 
lol I love how this thread won't matter in about a year

I hope so. I'm having a lot of issues with my mini that are really annoying and disappointing. I use the the iPad to take notes in classes, and the thing is acting so weird now with pages in iOS 7: sometimes it freezes without any reason when I'm selecting a text to bold or something, I even have to restart the device at times. It's ridiculous.

I just hope they rollout some update today, with the release of the iPad air.

This is it. Everyone claims that it's for the good of the greater cause (words of a cult following, incidentally), yet it's ruining people's experience to the point they can't rely on their devices.

Apple has had a long time to fix these bugs, yet hasn't. If it's really that difficult, then maybe iOS 7 isn't the "future" and only way forward that people here proclaim it to be.
 
Nobody forced you to upgrade. They didn't tell you that you MUST accept the new system.

So, what is life in "I'm entitled to everything"land like, anyway? Disappointing?

:p

No, but Apple is REALLY pressuring one to.

The message and banner to update
iTunes telling you each time one syncs about the update.

One slip of the finger (;)) or a curious child and you are DOOOOOOOMED!

And don't forget about 850MB of your memory is take up by the iOS 7 installer you can never get rid of.

Yep... Even global warming is apples fault...

Actually it's taking up 2GB.
 
The whole ipsw file is just over 1 GB... So what you say is false...

ipsw downloaded on the mac/pc may be 1GB. But on the iphone the downloaded OS is taking up 2GB, for some reason.

Tested on my jailbroken iphone4 - had 3GB of "Other" showing in itunes... it was the downloaded iOS7 ipsw, maybe already extracted. Used the jailbreak tweak from Cydia (Software Update Killer) and my "Other" space showed only 1GB after that.

Thats because the ISPW is the "installer" kind of like Mac OS 10 is around 5GB yet when installed its about 11GB used, same with Windows (2/3GB install iOS) 10-15 odd GB used after installation :)
 
Well, sold my iPhone 5 simply because of my dislike for iOS 7, and no option to get iOS 6 back. I just wanted the phone back that I paid for.

Bought an S4, and wow, you can make this phone do anything you want. If you don't like something about the OS, just change it. I'd have never even looked into Android if it wasn't for Apple dictating how my phone will work, and what OS I'll run on it. If they ever do that to my Mac, I'm selling that too.

Then you should be thanking Apple to 'opening your eyes' right? Hallelujah..... Another feather in the cap for Apple, I say.
 
While this is a great movement, can we also put some focus on their computers... you know, products from Apple that actually ARE better than the competition?

Except that now they want to enforce soldered RAM. Can we collectively do something about that serious problem, PLEASE?

Apple is moving to thinner design generation by generation. This requires Apple soldering RAM on to motherboard. If you look at competition, most Windows UltraBooks also have soldered RAM.

One other way is, manufacture wants to get control. They could profit more from replacement parts. By soldering RAM on the motherboard, Apple controls parts and you cannot simply swap RAM, instead, you need go to Apple Store. If your thing is out of warranty, Apple will replace with very expensive parts = Profit.

While thats all great for Apple, its very, very anti-consumer. Also, the gains for a slimmer laptop from soldered RAM are negligible. It's really a non-issue. It's purely a scheme for Apple to execute planned obsolescence.

Not really. Mac generally have good life span. 2007 MacBook Pro, iMacs still can run Mavericks. So I won't call it planned obsolescence.

What is planned obsolescence are iOS devices. iPad 1, iPad 3 is perfect example.
