After turning off all background updates, my battery life improved a great deal. It’s almost back to normal. I imagine I had several third party apps that were constantly refreshing data (e.g. weather or news apps).
If you have no need for them to update, I recommend changing that setting.
I found a way to adjust the colors to turn off the gradient under accessibility. I can read the top of the screen easier now in low light, scratch that off my review.
You should have made this a poll 🙂 I like it on iphone 5 and ipad mini. I like the shortcuts, and believe it or not, Im getting MUCH better battery like on my iphone. Make sure you turn background updates off those as that drains the battery like nothing else!
I was just messing around with my iPhone and discovered that the Newsstand app can now be placed in a folder. 😎

I just picked up a 5S and an iPad Mini, and love them both, a great deal. There are many significant improvements in the user interface. Very nice 🙂
The main reason I ended up doing the upgrade to the 5S was that I was eligible for the upgrade, and had long-since outgrown the 8GB capacity on my iPhone 4 – such that I was unable to upload the new operating system, for quite some time, dating back even to version 6 😐
I’m in the process of re-building my music collection (My desktop computer took a dump, some days ago, and I was unable to restore all those songs that I had imported to iTunes from my CD collection – about 500 songs, which was all I could install before running out of room on the phone (and at this point, I had only managed to go through about a fourth of my CD collection – which sucked, big-time).
There were another 100 or so songs, that I had purchased through iTunes – no problems restoring those (through my laptop), since I had done an iCloud backup. My reading seemed to indicate that non-purchased songs (songs imported from CDs) would not be restored to a device (unless the original computer where the account resided, was used), unless an additional service (iTunes Match) was purchased, for an additional 25 bucks a year, to have everything (including CD music) stored in the Cloud, and restorable to any Apple devices sharing the same account, for peace of mind, and ease of use.
Evidently, all songs imported from CDs can simply be backed up on CDs (you can burn CDS of those songs, then re-import those custom-burned CDs to iTunes your other computer, using your same log-in information. Wish I had known this before. It would have saved me a lot of grief. I thought the whole point of iTunes was to avoid having to burn a bunch of CDs.
Anyway, that’s my only gripe (about iTunes). It’s time-consuming, re-importing all these songs; but as they say – “No music – no life”, and now that I’ve gotten a 64GB model, I can upload music, movies, and whatever to my heart’s content, without worrying (nearly) as much about burning through all the storage space on my devices, or not being able to install any iOS upgrades.
Now, it’s time to spend a few hours, and restore some more tunes from CDs.
Oh…………the only real gripe I have about iOS 7 is that it does not allow you to customize the background color for the individual folders on the home screen. In previous versions, the background was always black, regardless of which wallpaper you used. Now, the system tries to match/blend in this background color, with that of the wallpaper chosen. I really prefered the straight black backgroud, for a much higher contrast view of the app icons located within each of these folders, on the screen.
Why did they change this???
I like it. The things I like in no peticular order
Swipe to close app
Control panel swipe up, down for events
Flashlight app built in
What is annoying- I use the music app all the time. I really liked the push the home button twice and swipe. I can’t anymore.
Go Seahawks!
Work gives me an iPhone 4. The ios 7 runs kinda slow on the 4. It’s not terribly slow, but compared to my Droid Ultra, it feels very slow. Also, due to the slowish processor on the 4, it doesn’t get the motion effects that are making some people queasy. :rolleyes:
