Atleast have the decency to change the subject (Advance Edit) to the one that is more appropriate for you now.
"The Hater were RIGHT: iOS7 is BAD, I am sorry I made an ass of myself (within 5 hours)"
You can also edit in the fact that you are dying to downgrade, but thanks to apple unfortunately you cant.

I was bracing for the worst. There's been so much whining about 7 it's really been unbelievable. Do you all need a hug?
I updated my IP5 and I don't see any of the "problems" people have noted. There is ZERO lag. The animation is incredibly fluid and flat out gorgeous.
All of my apps are present and the new UI is absolutely beautiful.
Access to the control settings is a bit different, but so what. I figure I'll just use the phone and get used to it over the next few days.
Again, I want to repeat.
1. the new UI is absolutely beautiful and sublime
2. the animation is incredibly fluid and gorgeous
3. the phone works perfectly.
4. All of my apps work perfectly.
5. There is no glaring difference between updated and non updated apps in appearance.
I am really embarrassed for this forum. We have all been misled to an extra-ordinary degree.
The update and install was flawless and the phone operates perfectly.
I reserve the right to come back and gripe if/when I find a bug or minor issue however.
I love iOS 7. I almost switched to Android and got a HTC one but because of iOS7 it breathed new life into my iphone and made me not want to change.

Juvenile post. Haters? You are making a blanket statement about everyone who has a problem with one of the many bugs and problems with ios 7. Grow up and accept that not everyone will agree with you.

Liberal!? Haha! "Read a real history, like the bible". You are on an international board. Liberal to Australians is conservatives, for example.Get back on topic.
The fact that there are only five "positive" threads for you to read as an iOS7 "fan" confirms what a train wreck it is.
In fact, I haven't seen Apple screw up so much in so little time since the days of Michael Spindler...incredible.
That's because people that are happy with it aren't going to be as vocal as the complainers.
You can't be seruous!!
Why would people go around opening threads about something they are happy with? They just enjoy whatever they like and look forward for more improvments! On the other hand, the unhappy ones have something to cry about and they are very vocal! I would be the same if I was unhappy.
Btw, iOS 7 is not perfect but is far better then iOS 6! My flatmate have iOS 6 on the iPad 3 and it look hedious!!! Can't imagine going back!
Well every real life user I've met except one so far likes it. Most of the tech sites are quite positive on it as well.
It is a fact that people complain about something they are unhappy with more than they praise something that they are happy with.
This is why you see more negative reviews of products than positive, why more restaurant/retail managers get complaints about bad service than positive feedback about good service, etc..
It's human nature. If we're happy, we go about our way - if we're not, we complain and complain.
Hardly indicative of the overall opinion of iOS 7.
What are the showstoppers honestly? I have none and can go about what I use my Mini for on an everyday basis.
If there are glitches and something working before doesn't now or not as well, I understand then IOS7 is not perfect.
BUT if it is a preference thing well that is entirely on the user regardless how stupid they may think a feature is.
Read the MR Front Page - Tim Cook's statement - 200 million devices now running iOS 7
How many whingers and moaners on here compared to 200 million??
Enough said .

I hated IOS7 the first day, then loved it
The first day was all bad.... until I discovered all the changes.... incredible.
The only downside is the neat smaller characters. it's a good look but if you're over 40 and almost need reading glasses... then you'll have to get glasses or you wont see anything! I've increased the font size but I'll have to carry my glasses with me now
(At lest if the characters were black instead of gray it would help)

Like you I don't want this to turn into a religious spat but I've read plenty of books thank you and I can tell you there is no historical record written within his lifetime or within a generation of his supposed death.

Did you also change the setting to BOLD (this helped me tremendously)?
sorry but no, iOS 7 is NOT perfect. it's not has horrid as some folks are saying but it's not perfect.
missing features (that were present in previous versions and the betas), broken features etc.
great that YOUR apps are working but that doesn't mean all apps are. Even ones supposedly updated for iOS 7.
----------
many of those sites are speaking only of the UI. And okay so they don't like it.
But there are under the hood issues by the scads. Like how I have to keep my phone in airplane mode cause in the 2 hours after updating it to iOS 7 with 'use cell data' turned off for everything but messages and voicemail, it used up almost a full GB of data doing nothing but checking my email twice. And even turning off cell data didn't work.
missing features that were there in the betas (and iOS 6) and other issues like constant crashing, having to reboot nightly because the home button stops responding, icloud restores taking days and failing to download everything, videos etc not downloading unless the device is unlocked and the itunes app is open. dropping off wifi when the device locks.
these are the types of issues folks are reporting.

Siri does not sound exactly the same. Siri is slow and not working recently, due to the influx of 9 million new iPhones and people trying it out. It is still slowER than Google Now even when its working great. The voice recognition isn't perfect.
you can't delete any baked in apps. But at least now you can stick it in a folder, shove it on a back page and forget about it

dont be so sure about that. Steve was known for inviting folks to convince him that his notions were wrong. Someone might have found a way to convince him that the whole Skeuo thing was old news.
And even if you are right, many would say that this is not a bad thing. Even Steve Jobs was all about challenging the status quo, mixing things up. As was said, 'here's to the crazy ones'
----------
one would expect that as it is running the ideal hardware for the system, they were created together.

Not according to the people living in that time. He defended whores and lepers etc and he did a crap job of being this messiah they were told was coming (who was supposed to be this big warrior type that would kick Rome's butt and send them packing). Which is why they had him executed. At least when poor Steve failed he was only fired.

oh i don't know, I still say the whole Mobile Me thing was way worse. especially when it came on top of an iOS release that had it's on little bugs and issues
Not perfect at all. Besides the cartoony look (we could have had flat done better than this), my wallpapers are now just as annoying to work with as they are on my Android device. It used to be my pics scaled and fit to the device I was using and all I had to do was position them so the system could crop when I wanted. Now every picture is but and somewhat blurry and I have to mess with them just like I do on my android devices. That's a step back for me.
I could be missing something but the simplicity I had isn't there anymore. At least not on this mini.
Cheers,

Hardly perfect. Mind you, I enjoy using it, but nothing perfect, as everyone will have different expectations and preferences. It's perfect for you.Customizability will go a long way, but Apple would never.
As others have touched on, nothing is perfect and iOS 7 isn't either. That being said, I have enjoyed the latest OS on my iPad 2. I wasn't sure and didn't know how it would go but damnit, it's pretty good. It makes my rather ancient iPad feel refreshed again.
It's a tad too garishly white in places and not every transition is super smooth. But, it's an upgrade as far as I'm concerned. We also have to give it a few months to really live with it for a while. I'm sure we will find more we like and probably some stuff we don't like yet.
Sure, there are some pure haters but people disliking it doesn't mean they are wrong. It's mostly subjective and sometimes I agree with them if they point out a nuisance or whatever. No biggy.

With every iteration of Mac OS, one can wait for the bugs to be fixed. Also, the way it looks isn't so radically different. In other words, it has always appeared (and I may have a bad memory and there may be some instances where this is not entirely accurate) to morph visually over time.
This new version is so radically different my wife won't even go near it. We were in my car when my phone (5) kept push-notifying me that there was an update. I asked her to update it, not thinking.
Now I have this new OS. It is a completely different phone. I didn't buy into this. That is just how it affected me, as a consumer.
There are 200 million people using this and no one is unhappy, or just mildly inconvenienced. I rely heavily on digital stuff, esp my iPhone.
So, when it gets a radical overhaul, I would like to have the option to revert to the way it was before. But, for some reason, the iOS isn't like that (at least from what I can tell).
I ran Snow Leopard up until about a month ago. Then upgraded at my own leisure. I could probably go back, but the change isn't so radically different, so I'm fine.
This new 7 GUI is pretty different. I think it is very clean in a Windows sort of way. I have alluded to the fact that I think Apple is changing, culturally, from a creative almost rebellious company to a corporate citizen here to serve the masses.
I always thought that was Bill Gates' thing. I guess I am wrong. I have vented a few times in recent months and gotten blasted for it. Really personal stuff. Just seems like the individual voice is stifled here, more and more....

Visual
I seen some Youtube videos of iOS 7 and for me, I don't like the visuals and appearance of iOS 7: how SMS looks like, the contrast, backgrounds, etc. It's personal preference. I also don't know how much of a resource hog it is. Nobody knows yet it is pretty easy to determine if you kept track of your RAM usge before and after the upgrading.
Aside from the lack if of info on the additional memory consumption, I won't be upgrading unless absolutely necessary due to the esthetics of iOS 7. I want to upgrade for the new security features but how it looks to me is the killer. If I dont have to upgrade, I wont. Aside from that, I can't say anything negative about iOS 7, mainly because I haven't used it.
