No. Again, that violates the ToS of the forum.
-------------------
Am I missing the quote option somewhere here btw? Or is that capability only given to mods?
But in repsonce to the above... Seriously? Its a violation to provide a link to another discussion article in the same forum? I'd like to see that section of the terms of service.
I suspect the other reason its a "No" is because there are no "uninstall ios6" threads with more than 2 or 3 pages, (I did a cursory search myself) while this one shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Sep 26, 2013 2:20 AMby Hinoki,Fanboy since early Apple years
every upgrade hard and soft
was logical and exciting
and please
do not call me old fashioned
but
iOS 7
is totally disappointing
not in function butI cannot stand to look
at my phone any more
as designer I disliked skeuomorphism
but these were minor discomforts
and no taste is the same
but
why this FisherPriceWin8Android feel
and if u really hang on to this flatness
why no choice in color scheme
I do not doubt Apple's ability
to come up with amazing color schemes
for everyone's need
or
if u want flatness
why no refined flatness
like the Clear app
and most of all
why this hopeless illegibility
with all this whiteness
which cannot be adjusted
it is not life threatening
and the hardware hasn't
lost any of it's touch
but please Apple
please us as being part of
"here is to the crazy ones"
if it such an effort
let me pay for it
just like the glossy MbPro screens
and paying extra for antiglare lovers
let us downgrade to iOS 6
until you found a way
to love our phones again

Sep 26, 2013 2:21 AMby Badger3k,The new icons make me look like my phone is for a 5-year old. Any way to get adult icons? The transparent "slide to unlock" is annoying as well, and the numbers that come up for my password look like the belong to fisher-price, not apple. Seriously, we're adults - don't we deserve a product that looks like it is made for us?
Are there any apps to change the icons, or even just the color - the "invert colors" option only gives us either blinding white, or eye-damaging black and white, at least on the settings menu - 10-seconds of that was enough to make me turn it off.

Sep 26, 2013 2:50 AMby Dollymixture68,I am so having visual trouble with the new upgrade. Headaches.. Eye strain. . I mean who the **** would develop something that looks watered down, flimsy and cumbersome. Can barely see the icons without fully examining them. I didn't need glasses but feel as though I do now. I seriously don't need this crap.
It makes me wonder if the developer of ios7 actually is working undercover for Android.
It has been almost a week using the new upgrade and I've tried to be patient and calm with the layout. But here's the thing, it is crap. I think I've gone back in time. And I'm seriously considering going to Android after this total flop.

Sep 26, 2013 4:40 AMby Surfer969,Like many here, I am very very unhappy with Apple. The fact that , in light of a major software change, they would not allow a longer window to revert back to io6 is unforgivable. As one who purchased an iphone 4 and 5, an ipad, and purchased equipment for my friends, hereby pledge that if apple does not open back up the window for io6 I will never purchase an apple product again. All of you who are equally offended should make the similar pledge. By purchasing apple products we built Apple... And if Apple chooses to so arrogantly refuse such a simple, easy to grant request,we should all forever refuse to purchase Apple products.

There wasn't one; I think we all know that. IOS 6 was a pretty transparent and benign upgrade. We got Shared Photo Streams and some stuff like that but nothing earth-shattering. So, 'It's always like this.." is pretty bogus.
The real change you should be clamboring for is for Apple to fix IOS7. 6 is dead for devices that accept 7: no more bug fixes, no security updates. Retrograding to 6 should be a short-term solution only.

iOS7 (left) x iOS6 (right)...
iOS7 = Looks like the (add contact) app was not completed by the developer, just a blank page with some texts floating around. Like everyelse in the new iOS7 .. Where are the buttons and text boxes like iOS6.. Its much more clean in iOS6, organized, sharp.. iOS7 IS A FOUR LETTER WORD

Sep 26, 2013 6:46 AMby mdinu,Here's a solution that worked for me, but it involved upgrading the phone with my wireless carrier, from 4S to 5:
Your wireless carrier can activate/upgrade you to an iPhone 4S or 5, which most likely still has iOS6 installed. I successfully did this today, and recovered everything from my older iPhone using the pre-iOS7 iTunes backup.
[This is a repeat of a previous post since the thread keeps getting longer...]

Sep 26, 2013 6:53 AMby igtoth,I bought another new iPhone 5, it was still with iOS6 (and I am not planning to upgrade it at all). I am now selling my old iPhone 5 with iOS7 .. LOL
More pictures: (what they have done with the dial pad??) soo sad...
More pictures: (what they have done with SAFARI ?) MORE soooooooo sad...
Again: iOS7 (FOUR LETTER WORD)

Sep 26, 2013 7:14 AMby Craig,Totally agree This new OS7 actually hurts my eyes and makes it more difficullkt to read. As a longtime Apple user for 25 years one of their strengths of Apple has always been graphics ( why so many graphics artists have used their products) This was a major step back in the look and graphics. To those who pipe up about all the improvements the bottom line is this is what you have to stare at on the screen everyday.
