Hi Schrodinger56


I can remember an article on Google News a few weeks ago that the iPad version of iOS7 was running behind the iphone and that it maybe delayed by a couple if weeks compared to the iphone release.


Looks like they said "Sod it, just release it and we can sort out any little niggles once its out with 7.01 . Anyway how many times do you change your wallpaper?"


Would be good for a quick update for all ipads to come out. I wonder if its ipad2's and higher affected and ipad minis aswell?


... In Apple we trust?


🙂

I always wait a while after a new Apple OS is released before I upgrade, but this time I've been an iSheep and I'm regretting it. My iPad 3 feels like my aging iPhone 4, freezes badly when changing the wallpaper. Indeed this is bad user experience. I want my iPad with iOS 6 back!



You would have thought that some iSheep would have learned by now. I saw how awful the new child-like iOS7 interface looked like and decided to stay with the far superior iOS6 look and performance Sorry to hear that iOS7 has been such a disaster for your iPad

I had the same problem. My ipad 3 was freezing up so often that it was unusable.


I decided that one thing different about my ipad was that I only had a single gig of memory free.


After scraping out some applications, I had a bit over 4 gigs of free space. This seems to have beaten back the freezes far enough so as to make the ipad usable again.


Not perfect... but a whole lot better.
