Does anyone dislike IOS 7 as much as I do?

I so regret updating to IOS 7. It's too light to read, has tacky icons that are difficult to distinguish and a very low tech appearance not expected of Apple. I actually detest the update to the point I font even enjoy my iPad mini. Whoever designed it had a very dated poor concept in mind. I have good vision with glasses and these skinny thin lines and light color icons and keyboard letters are just ridiculous. If it weren't such a pain, I would try and find a way to revert back to the prior version. In fact, if anyone knows how without messing up everything please let me know. Thanks.

Try using a dark background or wallpaper. I too found many of the stock backgrounds too light... I ended up going with a dark grey, which makes the icons pop. Also, decrease your screen brightness to about 50%, but leave it on Auto-Brightness. I've found the screen much more readable with all apps this way.

Otherwise, I like the update a lot.

I agree with you. I have written a number of times to Apple. There's no one there. I am sorry that I gave my Android to my grandson. I am so glad that we have this forum. It is too bad the company doesn't even listen. Maybe a boycott might help😀

The Feedback link specifically states they won't answer. Were you under the impression that emailing or submitting feedback would lead to some sort of instant change?

Feel free to boycot. The twenty million plus other people will be enjoying their phones.

Best of luck.

Realistically Apple not responding just shows you how terrible customer service Apple has. Why would that person give a single F what 20 million other people think. That is an unhappy customer trying to express their frustration and anger on a product that they expect more from. I don't see anything wrong with it but if you do, hey to each their own.

If you want to speak to Apple directly, you are always free to call them. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to do so. However, to give feedback someplace where Apple specifically state that they will not answer and then get peeved that they don't is just silly.

I like it and hate it at the same time. I like how everything looks clean and simple iOS 7 feels and the new fun way to quit apps in multitasking. What I hated was the software was still glitchy in some minor places, like sluggish animations, some occasional sound problems. Although I agree some the new icons look rather ugly (the Safari icon for example) I haven't had an issue with the typography.
