I've been a user of Apple products since the Apple II computer. As far as I am concerned, this IOS7 is the most disappointing thing Apple has ever developed and released. I have less than perfect eyesight. This update has transformed my perfectly useable iphone into a completely unusable, worthless electronic device of eyestrain and frustration. I have changed the fonts to bold and adjusted the contrast, etc. to no avail. I regret very much this update. Very frustrated that I cannot revert to the previous operating system. WHICH I COULD READ.


Since I am required to have a cell phone available to take calls at any moment for my business, Apple has inadvertently forced me into buying a phone from one of their competitors. TOMORROW.


Totally disappointed and frustrated.

As I wrote earlier, the te is nothing against the ios7 By itself.

I guess its the most outstanding operating system to this days, but

The anger is related to the interface with humans having no clear buttons, readable notices or prompts.

Whatever Apple did behind the screen is surelly wonderfull, but friends, its uggly, disposable keyword, number keypad

Starting short cuts. Please try to see beyond Your nose.....

Thank you for the suggestion, calebfromnashville. Unfortunately, the setting you mentioned only affects a small percentage of the visible text. For example, the passcode screen and the telephone keypad are sadly unaffected. Kinda' hard to keep a phone that one cannot use as a phone. I simply cringe at the design of the keypad. Thank you, though, for the suggestion.

Just how many super charged muscle cars sold that were hot Pink?...lol super charged or not we don't see many Pink corvettes, lime green poka dotted super charged cars.... the problem is the bright white and fonts reduce the functionality for some users...and since we paid for the phone we do have the right to complain about painting our car without permission.

Steve,


In principal, I agree with you. However, you must understand that Apple's decision to apply the same stark white interface to it's system apps that MS did to Office 2013 is the problem. People like myself find this type of interface is hard on the eyes, causing strain and discomfort. The more intelligent decision by Apple would have to allow people to have the option of either.


A lot of us will be forced to move to Android, it's no threat. Apple is an awesome company; however, they have pulled too many leaves out of MS's book in basically telling customers this is it and if you don't like it, then move on. That type of arrogance is too reminiscent of MS and is something I never expected from a great company like Apple. I for one will most likely move to Android as it's time to replace my iPad anyway.


I distinctly recall the developer of iOS 7 saying something to the effect that he intended to strip all colour out of iOS 7. Thankfully, he didn't get his way on that one. Here's the bottom line: colour and depth to Applications, icons, etc and the smoother interoperability of the entire system is what made Apple products so special. It seems that the developers are now intent on taking that away from people. Too bad-I for one shall miss it.


Instead of critizing people who have the problems with the stark white backgrounds, how about offering some realistic, tangible solutions to their problems? A thoughtful, open-minded, respectfull discussion will accomplish a whole lot more than finger pointing and name calling. Just a thought sir.
