Editing an iMessage thread.
In both the Video and the Music app? I'm running 7.0.4 and I only have it in the Music app... But yeah, I think I even started a thread about it. Or at least I've commented on it before
lol - Yes, both!
Got a tip for us?

What are iOS 7's most rediculous design decisions?

But how many people really use the phone dialer regularly?
At first I didn't like many of the icons which came with iOS 7. But now I like almost all of them besides Voice Memo (Is it called so in the English version?) and Safari. Even if they don't bother me so much, I'd call that a bad design decision.
All in all, I like the update pretty much.
no idea. obviously a dialer is not as used as in previous generations but no reason to make it worse (my view). round buttons vs square is just a waste of space and the delete and + buttons are way too small instead you get a gigantic call button. ive must have received quite a lot of complaints from people who couldnt dial or find the old dial button.
As soon as a jailbreak is available, this feature may also become available - see the absolutely essential CameraTweak (review). Assuming it won't have non-fixable compatibility problems.
Well, what I know is, that I was uncertain about the big round buttons, which come up if you have a passcode set up. I thought it'd be very hard to hit the upper buttons, but after using it for a while now I can say: It's not as hard as I though it'd be and I realized how I don't miss the right digits as often as on iOS 6, so I'm very happy about this.
Just took a closer look at the dialer and saw that the dialer is higher than the passcode interface, so it's harder to hit the upper buttons, but still like the fact that it's less probable to hit wrong numbers.

Why would you? Are you calling new numbers so often? Seems like I'm not meeting new people that much..
My order of regular calling methods:
1. Siri 2. favorites 3. Contact List 4. out of Messages WhatsApp 5. Dialpad
The white on off white scheme is such a horrible decision, how do you use your phone at night, in the dark, etc? It's also hard to distinguish some of the white versus the off white items.
Another horrible design is the calendar app. What good does a screen full of dots do me? I need to see what my appointments are, even if only the first word. What good is all the "retina" display if they can't even use that extra resolution?

I probably shouldn't admit this while talking about iPhones, but I rarely make calls and usually not to a contact. Almost everything done daily is via SMS and the infrequent e-mail. My favorites have three people on it and putting the third one on was a tough decision.
Apple's dialer sucks.... Needs a smart dialer like HTC has.... Too many steps to find who you want to call. The look of the dialer is a bit distracting and childish IMO.
The rest of iOS 7 I rather like.
My only wish, other than the dialer set up, is that they offered a dark theme that goes system wide.

What would be the point of a forum like this one?
People can accept a lot if things and move on, but if there's actually something that can be better or is actually bad what would be the point of not discussing it, especially in a place that is set up for those kinds of discussions?
- Music App, simply terrible in many ways.
- Calendar App, dumbed down and too simplistic.
- Awfully excessive transparency in Video App, I made a thread about it.
- 3X3 folders.
- Crappy little vertical line scrubber for music in CC, it so hard to grab.
- Non customisable controls in CC.

Interesting thread.
Reading thru the posts was very helpful. I was unaware of the specifics.
I wanted an iPad and was waiting for the Air. I went to see it on launch day and liked everything about it except the UI.
I love the weight, balance and the feel in my hands so I went back to visit two more times. The UI was the turnoff for me. I don't want to see that why light again until the moment of death, period.
I hope Apple makes some adjustments. So for now I will stay with my iPad mini. It's not upgraded to iOS 7.
Years ago the first computer we bought was a Mac. We didn't have a clue about computers. We chose the Mac for the aesthetics. Now I passed on the iPad Air because of aesthetics.
