I completed wiped my Ipad3 and then installed iOS7 from a restore. Have issues of slowdown on wallpaper select also. Looks like it won't let you select the wallpaper at the bottom. Then the home buttom freezes and the ipad won't respond. Takes around 20 seconds to come around. (Once this has been slected it seems to slow the ipad down also.)


Not sure, but it seems that the longer I leave my ipad on, the better its getting? Like its settling down?


I'm sure I can live with it until they bring out 7.01 with fixes for this and other performance issues.


Seems weird that this was not noticed in the Betas though, why bother with betas


(I also find that Multigestures seems to work better than the home button.)


Is it worth wiping it clean again and reloading? Anyone tried this yet to see if it improved?


Cheers All

I had "freeze" problems on both - iPad3 and iPhone5.

Due to the new backgrounds and effects, I think many people are trying it - and this is where my iPad stalled too (I did full restart and the new background was applied, I dind't dig further).
With iPhone change of the backgroud was not an issue, though eventually the device was completely frozen when I had an App running.

Since updating to ios 7 my ipad 3 has been pushed back a few years as apps are crashing ipad is freezing and everything is glitchy It even glitches when the screen rotates.

ive tried reinstalling ive tried resetting and nothing works personally idont think that ios 7 should have been released to the public as its clearly not ready.



Shame on you apple
