Do we all really have a choice to NOT upgrade? Isn't it always a matter of time before we all have no choice but to accept an upgrade otherwise our phones won't work properly without upgrading. Or am I wrong?


And while I'm here...... I HATE IOS7! And I will be selling my phone if somethings not done to rectify all the issues that everyone is complaining about. No wonder Samsung is getting so many sales. They have me for a sale, that's for sure if things don't change soon.

And you know what? If Apple had any respect for us, they should be sending us all an sms or email within the next 24 hours to apologise for this, which has to be, the greatest of greatest mistakes that Apple have ever made AND assure us that these issues will be rectified ASAP.


Whoever came up with this lame idea to change what was already fine, looks wise, should be sacked. Yes people can get used to, in time, new applications and changes to old applications, but very very difficult if impossible to get used to something that looks like it should belong in a kindergarten toybox. 😠


And once again............ I AM GOING BLIND LOOKING AT THESE **** WHITE SCREENS!!!!!! FIX IT FOR GOD SAKE APPLE! FIX IT! 😠


THIS BLOODY PHONE COST ME A FORTUNE. HOW DARE YOU TREAT US WITH SUCH DISRESPECT!

I am sorely disappointed with iOS 7. That is a fact. Even typing this up is so much slower than on iOS 6 so I've learned another thing I am unhappy about. Seems I have you to thank for that.

What iPhone are you using? Whenever a new major upgrade comes out either on a PC or iPhone, the older hardware sometimes struggles with the newer software as the new ( more sophistacated) software taxes the precessing power of the older hardware. This tends to manifest itself in delayed reactions to inputs such as typing or switching screen on the homescreen. So it is really not an iOS7 problem per se. Just the inability of the hardware to deal with the software.


Which probably leads people to go out and buy the newest piece of hardware, in the long run.

This is what happens when you use Apple products. This is exactly why I no longer use an Iphone(5 years) or support apple, and changed to Android. I can deal with the app quality on Android and security issues. I've never had any problems.


However, I can:

1) infinitely customize it how I want

2) downgrade if i want

3) save money by not having to purchase overpriced apple accessories

4) not have to use iTunes to do things with the phone. Just plug the USB in, and it looks like a flash drive. drag-n-drop.


After one year of using Android, I love it and I am never buying an Iphone again. I hate having no control on something you spent money on because you are at the mercy of the manufacturer. THis IO7 deal is the sort of thing I hated.

So if you are currently using Android and have not used an iPhone in over a year, why are you here trolling? Especially since it looks like you just created your account today?

Hey, remember when Apple made their huge comeback a few years ago with those commercials with two men side by side, "Hi I'm a Mac" , "And I'm a PC" and the Mac guy went on and on how you can customize your Mac to any way you want and how it doesn't come with all those pre-installed programs like a PC?


I guess that wasn't the plan with the next generation of Apple products!


I switched to Mac three years ago and my iMac came chock full of pre-installed programs and so did my phone. In fact, I can't even delete the pre-installed apps on my phone/s.


"They" all fall victim to their egos. We suffer for it.

Grail is correct.


Steve Jobs:


  • maintained a lifetime interest in the design of letter forms and typography.
  • was a student of calligraphy.
  • was enormously interested in graphic design and legibility.


IOS7 offers users a junior level understanding of typography. This is an aesthetic as well as a technical problem. As GrailMan mentioned, Steve Jobs would have never approved.
