    For the music, I like that it’s right there now in the control panel. Less movements. I also just got the 5S but haven’t really gotten a chance to stretch its wings out yet. And I did go for iTunes Match prior to getting the 5S. With 5,700+ songs I figured it was worth it.

    The guys who do the legitimate Jail Breaks are waiting for 7.0.3 before an official release for those interested in such things. That should stream line a lot of the visual issues many people have with the current OS regarding the icons and such. If you have Twitter here is their official account to keep up with the updates:

    Missing your weather in your swipe down notifications screen?

    Yep

    Open the weather app from your home screen & wait for it to load with your current weather, then go back to home screen go to Settings > notification > and toggle it on & off the Today View & Notifications view (top two) then power down phone.

    Might take a couple of tries but your weather should show up again

    I hate it. It made my iPhones lay out look like a child’s toy. It looks stupid and the features are a mess. Thanks apple.

    After using it for awhile, I’d have to agree. I’m not liking the lack of definition on typing fields.

    I wish Apple hadn’t made it available for the iPhone 4. The (lack of) processing power just can’t keep up with the UI effects, making all the zooming and aligning and fading slow and laggy. Apple even dumbed it down for the 4, but I end up spending time watching the effects start, occur and finish.

    Oh well, at least it’s provided by my employer and not my real phone. 😀

    I saw it on several people’s iPhones and decided I didn’t want to upgrade. However, my wife lost her phone and got a new 4S. She has been asking me questions about the system and I don’t know the answers, so I decided to update. Initially, I disliked it strongly, especially the spindly, anemic text and all the white background on all the basic functions. I used it for some field work today, though, and it is growing on me. The jury’s still out on whether I like it better overall.

    PROS:
    • the new control panel that pulls up from the bottom of the screen
    • apps at the bottom of the control panel – flashlight, clock, and calculator
    • new calendar format – ability to scroll up / down
    • the camera zoom seems to work better (max zoom, distant target)

    CONS:
    • completely new appearance – not necessary to implement system changes
    • ugly font (turning the “bold font” option on helps)
    • new calendar appearance – yuck!

    NEUTRAL:
    • method of accessing search feature is still cumbersome, but is growing on me

    Still on iOS 5. Battery life is still good, jailbreak for more utility. Happy as a clam.

    When I had a company phone with an unlimited data plan, I used a jail-broke phone for hot-spotting.

    Now, I have to watch my picture download to avoid exceeding my data limit…:nah_disagree:

    Can’t download it. Says I need 3 gigs of space to do so… I have 6. No real loss, as far as I can tell. I have it on my iPad and besides the easier access to the brightness toggle, I can’t really say I have a preference for iOS 7. Thought about backing everything up and doing a factory reset but in the 10 minutes it would take to do that, I could do any number of more rewarding things. Including staring at the ceiling fan.
