    Please do feel free to switch to Samsung Gallaxy...a report released this week on susceptibility to damage found the iPhone to have a middle level score, the Samsung had the absolute worst score.  Plus viruses, hacks, security flaws.  And a horrible battery life...friend has gone through three of them and the latest is the best of the lot...gets a whopping one and half hours battery life.

     

    Enjoy your new Samsung.

    I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to add another tab/switch to at least offer ios7 to appear the same as ios6 visually.

    And add that much more overhead to the OS footprint? No thanks.

    I think it would be. The new layout is tied to differences in functionality, and it would be clunky to theme the new layout with cues from IOS6.  A more likely solution would be a new theme, or tweaks to the contrast and saturation of the existing one.

     

    I don't see many complaints about the layout itself, or the basic functionality of IOS7. It's mostly the colors, excessive white space, etc.  OK, the white space is a layout issue but it could just be tweaked.

    It's quite possible that you are interested in usability. My phone is just for show.

     

    You have certainly been branded and "they" have tapped into your inner child.

    If indeed your phone is "just for show", then perhaps you should find another product. Obviously well designed software means less to you than superficial graphics. Although I'm not sure what the requirements would be for an OS that is "just for show". I guess actually working wouldn't be important.

     

    no, I haven't been "branded" (whatever the **** that means), I just have over twenty years of experience in software design and recognize a good product when I see it.

    No, that will not uninstall iOS 7.  It will simple reset the device and delete all of the user applied content.

    If you paint a Ferrari pink and put daisy stickers

    all over it, it still a Ferrari.  Any way, all GUI based

    OSes are all eye candy anyway and really doesn't

    change what is happening "under the hood" so to

    speak.

    My question is this, Though I do not particularly care for the IOS7 I am dealing with it nd yes I read about it. However, it never said, that I saw, that you would no longer be able to delete individual mesages. Why is that? I could before and am very upset that they took away that option. Any ideas?

    I was having issues and when I went to the apple store (they had to do a hard restore) OS 6.1 was installed and not OS 7.  Since OS 7 has downloaded on my phone but I have not installed it. 

    I would make an appointment and see what they can do.

    You can, it's just an extra step now.  Hold a message, then select "More..."  You will get your old delete screen.
