Does anyone dislike IOS 7 as much as I do?

I have finally had enough of IOS7 today, apple makes it so you cant go back, IOS7 *** beyound belief my phone is about as slow as when I had a PDA with windows 6 . The only thing IOS7 has done is make me go out and buy a samsung galaxy phone today. Congratulations apple , not only am i not going to use an iphone anymore scratch the other 15 handsets my employees use and have been going crazy over the last couple of weeks with apps crashing and phones rebooting ......

Deggie I'm not trying to be ugly but some of you all are a bit thick. I'm not talking about app switching. Im talking about when you flick to the right and the ipod icon and controls and the screen rotate lock control shows up on iOS6. Interestingly if you had been watching a video or youtube the icon was replaced with those icons. In any case when on a plane this is very convenient. I have only about 40gb of music and maybe a third of those are songs I don't even like but have to have for work. I don't use playlists because how the heck am I supposed to know in advance what song I want to hear.

Wow, I am still not a huge fan of the new IOS, but less of a fan of the changes to the Apps. Apple took everything unique about the apps and turned them into WINDOWS!

They are basic, ugly, and boring. I used to love the Calendar, Notes and Pages for their quirky fun interfaces. Now everything is sterile and runs together.

Come on Apple you are better than this! Does Samsung scare you that much that you have to follow instead of lead.

Really really bummed at the direction Apple is going in. Man I miss Steve Jobs!!!!!!!!!

OH? so you knew him?

Actually, yes I did, for 23 years.

I'm loving the changes to the camera. Thats about it. I do like Mavericks so far. They didn't go to the extremes. If iOS calendar was the same as mavericks calendar i'd be ok with that. Love the additional video features in Mavericks. I think the name is stupid, but all the cat names were strange too. Whatever.

This my issue with the control center being on the bottom of the screen, too. I have a cover from Brookstone for protection on my iPad mini, so I can carry it in my bag. But, I actually have to pull the cover back to access the Control Center. Not convenient at all. Being able to double click in iOS 6 was much easier to access.

And double-clicking pretty much does the same thing in iOS 7 as it did in iOS6. Sounds like your issue is with the case, not the OS.

Don't see a quote button but a lot of people are able to do that.....

Double clicking in the past allowed you to get to control center if after you double click and you swipe to the right. I assumed thats what he meant. So much hostility here. I wonder if any of you would talk to each other this way in person.

If you are on an iDevice you will not see the quote button.

If it helps any I knew what you meant.

I have had the new update for about 5 weeks on my iphone and can't really get used to it. The calendar is far too complicated, keys on the keyboard are too small and I dislike the whiteness.

Some features may be better but the design is not so good. I am not updating my ipad and wish I could get rid of the constant reminder.

I uploaded to my iPone and discovered how bad a move it was - expored only to find out there was no way of restoring 6.0.x; apparently by design. Then without thinking my iPad mini had the same OS got suckered in again. Apple, a company built on graphic excellnece, abandoned that excellence for a tinny/pastic graphic interface. Other than takeing up some computing space the old graphic/human interface, in my opinion, was excellent. I've done a lot of research No way of going back to IOS 6. My only hope now is enough folks will register their complalints, go to the Samsung Gallexy, and get Apples attention. If you know some way of undoing IOS 7 let me know as IOS 6.0 Humand/Computer interface by far exceeds IOS 7. Really bad news look at IOS 10.9 - it apprear the removal all that was Apple in the days of Steve Jobs is being whittled away in favor of of a tinny, plastic, industrial look. Times a changing. Let me know if you dicover a way of returning to IOS 6 and in the mean time be careful about uploading IOS 10.9 graphics are a changing and not for the better.

It seems to me that businesses like Apple and Microsoft care very little about the opinion of there customers. It seems that someone in their organization has an ideal and that is what they are going to do despite the reactions they get from their customers examples are IOs7 and Windows 8.

It also seems to be the only way to get them to listen is to hit them in the pocket book. I think the only way they will respond positive to the dislike of IOs7 is if everyone that hates it refuses to use it move to a droid or some other smart phone until Apple releases the IOs8 as a solution to the IOs7 issue. Now * would have to fix all the complaints about 7, obviously. But that the only way people can seem to get a reaction from big business is to let them know that they really are sick of something by not using their product. Companies like Apple and Microsoft will use the line that the public just needs to embrace the change because its progress. I say that we as the public liked the I phone for reasons that they have lost track of since the Death of Steve Jobs and that He never would have done an OS this bad. And despite Progress we like what we like and this is not it. Go back to what we like Apple or risk losing your customer base. Like in the 80’s.

I would disagree. However, what I do know for certain is that almost no one here cares whether or not you like iOS 7. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. While going on about your opinion of iOS 7 may make you feel better, it will accomplish nothing else here. If you want Apple to know how you feel, use the Feedback link:

It's not that i don't like it, I think it is cool but I also think IOS 7 is a copycat of Windows 8.
