how do i uninstall IOS7

Truly unhelpful post. Why not admit that YOUR opinion may not be the only possible opinion on the subject? Or are you the sole arbiter of taste in the world? Did you notice that since iOS 7 and the devices that have it natively have come out that Apple sales of iPhones have set new records, and outpaced the sale of Android devices? And that the look that you so despise is very close to the look of android devices?

MY opinion, which is the only one that counts, is that iOS 7, and especially iOS 7.1, is a great improvement over iOS 6 in almost every respect, in terms of look and feel, functionality and performance.

Yeah ... but I am right re. the design. It may be a hit with 12 year old girls etc. but it is bad design pure and simple which is why Apple have been fixing the errors. Also I am pretty sure Android has a larger market share than iOS. And performance is clearly more sluggish before so stop talking rubbish.

There are entire blogs dedicated to just about anything you can think of, and many things you haven't. Bloggers always need something to say, so taking cheap shots at highly successful products is a really easy way to satisfy a blogger's need to produce verbal diarrhea.

Are you a horse?

No, you are completely, totally wrong. On every count. There's no point in even responding to you, and I'm not going to waste my time with a troll.

Typical unhelpful obnoxious response ... why not admit that the the new OS design is absolutley attrocious on almost every level ... can't imagine worse really.

My response was for DarkZephyr. I have no idea who you are or what your problems may be. I suggest you start a new Discussion and describe what's wrong with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. In the absence of such rudimentary details, no one can begin to guess, or help.

I much prefer iOS 7 to any previous version. I don't understand why anyone would want to regress to iOS 6's clunky operation and dated appearance, but given iOS 7's adoption rate rapidly approaching 90% it's not worth understanding.

Problem's the same as everyone else ... horrible design decisions and poor performance. Nobody is against change, just not bad change. 90% adoption rate means nothing as most people update without knowing.

No you are not. Its an opinion you have, it cannot be right or wrong. Many many people love it, some hate it that's just the nature of all things. To many people its a good functional design. Again if you don't like it its fine, whining is not going to change this.

Where are you getting your facts?

There are many more manufacturers that use android for their tablets so market share with Android is kind of skewed. Market Share with a manufacturer brand name is a much better indicator, and as I said before, Apple has about 40% of the market on its own. the other 60% is divided between All the Android brands, and the Windows tablets, and any other tablet maker that does not use any of the above OSes.

Basically no, Apple still commands tablet market.

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Performance is fine, heck even better than with previous versions of iOS on my iPhone and my iPad and many millions of users around the world. And the are studies also posted abundantly on the web that prove that iOS 7 specially iOS7.1 is faster than previous versions on all hardware that supports it.

So you better take your own advice and stop talking rubbish about things you clearly know nothing about.

No. The design is perfectly fine. It works for many many people out there. Many more than those that come here and whine incessantly about how ugly it is.

You don't like it, its fine, whining abut it here is not going to change things. Send feedback to Apple. It seems to have made a difference already with the new bolder keyboard and lettering and other changes made to iOS 7 for the 7.1 version release.

> Well it seems like Apple may be reading these pages too ... I know would if I were Apple. They have already backtracked on some of the terrible design desicions and will hopefully see the error of their ways.

As to Google Android, popping champagne, yeah they probably want to celebrate that Apple by itself owns around 40% of the tablet market, while Samsung for instance struggles at around 18 - 20 %. And the Other brands that use Android go even lower. And with Windows tablets in the mix at around 10% of the market, yeah i'm sure Andorid has a lot to celebrate.

> So you are saying Android is outselling iOS ... you can do simple arithmetic - right? And the fact that Apple has started to copy Android is telling.

Apple doesn't read this forum for feedback. If you'd read the terms of service, you'd know that. This is why we're all telling you, and the others that don't like iOS 7 and its features, to go to www.apple.com/feedback.

As far as Android unit sales? Yes, there are more Android smartphones sold than iOS smartphones. But that's because only Apple sells iOS devices, while there are multiple manufacturers of Android devices. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, LG, Kyocera, ZTE, Acer, Asus, Huawei. That's all I can think of at the moment, but there might be more.

So, yes, when ten different manufacturers all add up their unit sales they beat Apple. And, gee, Apple is only at 40% of the ENTIRE market share. Yeah, I guess that does kind of suck when they're up against ten other manufacturers of smartphones.

Use whatever smartphone you want. No one is holding a gun to your head, and frankly, none of us here care what device you use.

Personally, I'm glad that Apple doesn't totally dominate the market. Competition inspires innovation.

Yeah, innovation, something which is sadly lacking of late with iOS7.

And somebody must be reading/moderatiing as so many comments seem to get deleted.

Anyway, the point people are making here mostly is that they don't like iOS7 and that the design is just rubbish. Don't go bleating on about taste bla bla bla because poor design has nothing to do with that.

Now go play with your toys and stop taking yourself so seriously ...

Nope ... it is not a matter of opinion. Poor design is poor design. Just as poor taste is poor taste. Maybe you are just not developed enough to tell the difference?

There are moderators that monitor the forum and respond to reported posts for violations of the terms of use. That's totally different than reading through the threads for feedback. Huge difference.

I know what point they're making. And my point is that the purpose of this forum is not for 'opinions'. It's for technical assistance. Opinions have no bearing on whether or not a device is functioning as designed and intended.

If you dislike your iPhone with iOS 7 so much, I suggest you take a trip to your wireless carrier and browse until you find one that you like. No one cares if you like iOS 7 or not. Not on this forum.

Give your feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback, and just get on with your life.

The design is fine. The layout is fine. It works just fine for MILLIONS of people. If you don't like the design, find a smartphone that suits your needs better.

"I don't like the way the new Volkswagen Beetles look, they look dumb!"

"Okay, so don't buy one or drive one."

"But they look dumb!"

"So?"

"So it annoys me so much!"

"*sigh*"

That's you. That's what you sound like.

I'm not sure that I'm willing to take technical design input from someone that has such difficulty using the reply/quote feature of a website...

Wrong again - it seems you really care a lot. And it doesn't fuction well after the upgrade. Slower, drains the battery faster and poor ergonomics. Don't presume I don't like Apple - I think they make some of the most beautifully designed pieces of hardware ... just disappointed with the recent direction it has taken of late.

Funny, I have none of those problems on any of my iOS devices running iOS 7.1. I'm able to easily and safely use all the functions of my iPhone, hence the ergonomics are fine. I have no sluggishness or reduced battery life.

What troubleshooting steps have you tried, and what results did you get?

And no, I don't care what smartphone you use. I don't care that you don't like the design of iOS 7. I promise you, I will not lose a wink of sleep tongiht over it.

I just find it amusing that you've given your opinion in a palce not designed for you to do so, and have been guided to the right place to give your opinion... but you still keep reiterating your opinion over and over. And over.

Ooo ... that's hurtful. You don't seem to be a child ... yet you act like one.

The reality is that it is slower so who cares if you want to take technical design input ... are you an Apple employed technical designer?
