Jesus anyone would think its the end of the world if you cant update your phone in the first few hours after release. People need to get a grip.

Haha it is a bit "my first smartphone" looking.
The calendar now doesn't seem to preview events when running on month view.
Also has anyone noticed that sent iMessages seem to change their tone of blue as you scroll through them? I.e light blue at the top of your screen and dark at the bottom?

I'm not upgrading until forced to, the colour scheme/icon design is absolutely hiddeous and will ruin my ipad. I don't want my ipad to look like something made by Vtech ffs.

I'm liking the new skin and it has some nice features experienced so far. Need to do some reading up on the pro's now, to discover what it can do for me.
I've updated on the original 4 and it seems to work fine... slightly more lag than on iOS 6, but nothing detrimental to productivity.
It's a nice "fresh" look.
P1Fanatic,
It's all about the "customer experience" and in this instance it's not rocket science to gear up infrastructure to cope for an expected peak in demand, especially one with the brains and infrastructure that Apple have behind it. You're right... it's no big deal in essence.... just a shame.

It does look fresh, albeit a little tacky. It certainly does not work well with photos as a desktop background like the older, more mature, icons did but it seems stable enough

Well, reading the apple forums, the early impressions adjectives are, its boring, amateurish, cheap! There are comments that it makes the phone hot in automatic update mode and increase battery usage and it will disable all after market chargers, so get down and pay a fortune for a charger

My 3rd party cable works fine so stop spouting rubbish.
It give you a message saying it's non genuine. But doesn't stop functionality .
Why would you read apple forums? You are that sad aren't you?

I don't like what they did with Email - its all too white. Plus I frequently used to delete by swiping to the right where the delete button then appear and you can press to delete the message without opening.
Now you have to swipe left to get the Trash option, but your finger is now over the wrong side of the phone to press the button - its a silly thing but its not well thought out in the design about where your fingers will be.

The ability to revert to an older app only - currently - applies, if you are trying to download an app that requires a newer version of iOS which you are not running.
example;
AppX v10 now requires iOS 7 or later. AppX v9 required iOS 6 or later. AppX v8 required iOS 5 or later.
You are running iOS 5 on your device and you search for AppX.
You will see v10, as the App Store only shows the latest version of an app. When you attempt to download v10, you will see a dialog that states the app requires iOS 7 and asks if you wish to download a previous version. If you click download then it will install a previous version. In the example above, you would get v8 of AppX.
If you were running iOS 6 you would get v9.
You cannot select which version you get, the app store decides for you. As yet, there seems to be no information on wether developers can see / select which versions a user gets. It seems it's probably based on giving you the latest version that supports the iOS version you are running.
I ran iOS 4.2 on a device and tried to grab an app that I knew only supported iOS 5 and later and it gave me the last version of the app that did not require iOS 5.

STILL on 5.0.1, looked at the list of available updates, no Hullomail (have scanned regularly since they broke it for me). However today I then searched Appstore for Hullomail went to the app blurb and was greeted with an 'update' option, pressed it and it prompted that the latest ver is for 5.1 and did i want to get the older version YES PLEASE
Sadly it still crashed, even after a reboot. Went through the update procedure again, but no joy.
Uninstalled it, reinstalled the old ver, same...

Just having a quick look at some stats for an app and it's seeing 5% of users running it on iOS 7, the next highest iOS is 6.1.4 at around 12%, top item is iOS 6.1.3 at 69% (other percentages based on various other iOS versions). That's pretty good for less than 24 hours.
Another chart I have seen seems to suggest that at least 30% of those running iOS 6 are now running iOS 7.

Utter bo77ox. You are just an Android fanboy obsessed with trawling the net for anything anti Apple - utterly pathetic.
