I preferred the old swipe to delete. Why did they make it the opposite and a different second part? What was wrong with the old way?
I must admit I've gotten a little more used to in in a couple of days.
On my phone the icons seem to large - they seem OK on my iPad
Why did they change things such as the swipe direction on deleting - as mentioned in several threads it isn't gone - it is just backwards - why. There are several other similar things.
Some stuff is just too white.
They don't bother me as much as others but the animations are sort of stupid - wish I could totally turn off.
Wish there was, or at least none that I've found - a differences - 6 to 7 guide - in 6 you do x in 7 you have to do y.
All for now - probably will find more.

Swiping right takes you back in safari or in many apps. That would conflict with also deleting things. Im retraining myself and still find myself trying delete an item that way.
I'd much rather have the swipe right to go back.
The music and calendars apps. The look, color, design, execution everything pretty much. Music app could grow on me though, I'll give it that. Calendars is just awful now though.
No tweeting from notification center. Lack of weather widget in notification center (is this getting fixed or no? I've heard conflicting things on it)
Also it's a bit too white.
And finally and perhaps most importantly the stupid dock bar. That's what I hated about iOS before 5. I just don't understand why that part of the screen needs to have it. I get the move away from skeuomorphism. I disagree with it but I get it. BUT if you don't want to have it so people easily recognize what an app does anymore, because they should know by now. Then why have that dock bar? It just annoys me.

Hi there,
where do you start, I know people don't like change, for no reason. The new features are really quite good. Just the look is questionable.
If I wanted a Nokia or a windows look phone I would of bought one. we all pay a premium price foe a premium phone, now it just looks average.
The overall appearance looks "child like" big bold bright colours. Would it not be possible for Apple to have used definable icons? "classic view" or new?
The messages are hard to read with white text, please bring back black. Also the keyboard, bolder font would be much better.
With the E mail, when deleting, can we have Delete rather than Trash?
I like the new features, great. But please Apple, you are losing the way. I for one will be looking in to removing OS7 and installing os6 again.

For me, the only thing I really don't like is the new calendar. I find it awkward to use, and very unintuitive. I think I may have to give Fantastical a try...
How can anyone like i0s7 better than i0s6? This is hideous and had honestly caused me to question my allegiance to Apple. How could this disaster of an operating system have happened? Really Apple? Just be honest folks, i0s7 SUCKS!

How do I convert back to 6 and wait this out? Can I?

You can't go back to IOS 6. Apple stopped signing it. We are stuck with this crap. I think no longer signing IOS 6 and this childlike theme that is horrible might be the end of Apple for me. I've already listed my phone up for sale. Hope some sucker buys it soon. 
A few minor complaints: I wish I could swipe either left or right to close Safari tabs. Also, I wish, in the Music app, that I could change the order of the icons on the bottom row so that "Albums" replaces "Songs". I've come to appreciate the design sense across the UI, although I'm not a huge fan of the settings icon or contacts icon. The paper "texture" in notes and reminders should be eliminated to stay consistent. I do wish all of the third party icons would redesign for iOS 7. Other than that, I pretty much love it -- and that's a total 180 from when I first saw it in June and hated it. It's very fluid on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Oh, and the male voice for Siri is a nice change. Much more natural.

Is there a big enough outcry amongst the general public that Apple will get the message quickly? I didn't think i0s6 was bad at all, I was happy with it. If people want these cheap looking features they should have went over to android or windows phone. I'm a BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL, and pulling an iPhone out of my pocket now looks like a Fisher price toy. I mean, compare reminders in 6 and 7. Or text messages in 6 and 7. REALLY APPLE?
Weather display from home page-words? really? I want the picture and the weekly format back.
The way push and hold to delete text messages. Old way was WAY better.

I'm annoyed with the changes made when tapping the title bar. I used that all the time, and now it either works, doesn't work, or requires two clicks. Grr.
Just hold off that purchase as they are in the process of releasing a v2 which will be another paid app, even for those of us who bought v1 when it came out (a year ago?). Upgrade gripe aside, I haven't even opened the stock calendar app since upgrading to iOS7!
On iPad in iOS7, if you have disabled Control center and you are in app, you can't swipe up with 4 fingers to access volume and brightness, you can only go to multitasking. IF you have enabled Control center, then ok, but you will accidentaly open it many times because you don't need four fingers for it.
iOS6 on ipad was designed much smarter in this case.

Someone else may have replied to this but you can delete by swiping, just you need to swipe the opposite way.

Looolz. News flash.... Apple fan sells iPhone due to dislike of the new iOS 7.
You made my day.
Also I dont know why, but spotlight no longer offers google search!!! Why Apple? Now I have to open safari each time I want to search something. Much less convenient.
iOS 7 and Safari
Hey guys, this is my first post here though I've read contents of this website about 4 years now, I've just made an account ...
Thing is I have an iPhone 4S for almost two years now, updated to iOS 7 immediately after it was released and I actually not hated that so much but kinda not like it too.(It to me smells Android! from ending the tasks till upper buttons in Control Center & honestly I don't like these new borrowed designs and please correct me if I'm wrong) btw,
for about two years I don't have any issues with the device but after updating I enabled Siri to check any progress for voice recognition and after a while I wanted to disable it again, then I saw bunch of horizontal lines on the Display (just like when a graphics card is dying usually on a PC) and then my iPhone rebooted. It's OK now but I guess it is not fit into Apple's ecosystem, such bugs, and another annoying thing is that Safari was on Private before I was updated and now the Private mode built into Safari but every time I open Safari its Black and 'Coz I usually searching words into pages (Find a word) it took me 3 days that I finally found Next-Prev buttons( < > ). It is absolutely hidden when in private.
Sorry guys for loooooong story but I guess I had to write these because this is not a rugged OS like before, it is so buggy,kinda Android y ! and I hope they will hear & fix these things.

Why put off the inevitable....so i did the upgrade...or whatever it is.
HERE's my summary:
PROS
No big loss with drop shadow icons. I like the new ones better
Keyboard is bigger and fewer typing errors. good change
Control Center is good addition to fast access camera, brightness etc.
CONS
white!!!!! Everywhere is blinding white.
Using my Ipad for 30 minutes has actually made me a bit nauseous. Between the blinding white and the clunky, not-so-smooth animation with every screen change i am experiencing motion sickness! This has given me a slight headache.
Wtf Apple? Did you test this with sailors only? And only sailors with reduced vision capabilities?
Some said that custom labels in Contacts was gone but they are still there.
The photos is good but a bit confusing to get out of the Collections screens. Not sure why they created this.
But everything is WHITE.
And it is definitely eating the battery faster
