Many thanks. The article mentions iOS 7.0, but now I think it has been debugged to iOS 7.0.2. Anything on the latest update?

I did the 7.0.2 as well....seems the same to me. a few minor changes. I didnt even bother reading that article...IOS7 is by far better that IOS6.

Gotcha. Guess I'll wait since I like the look and feel of iOS 6.1.3 and don't want to risk possible hassles just yet. Is there a way to update to 6.1.4 without updating to iOS 7?

That was a Bug fix for iPhone 5 only.

Hi, what iOS did you have before the update? What happen to your apps? Games? Etc.., battery? Does it slow down the iPad 2?

Thanks

I am using the iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3. I like this interface and decided to take the advice of shldr2thewheelabove. I am still using the iOS 6.1.3 without a hitch. The only minor annoyance is that about 5 or 6 Apps can't be updated unless you update the system, so the APPS app keeps telling me there are 5 or 6 more updates available than there actually are. I will wait till the support community folks who know what they are doing give me the green light. Otherwise I have no need or desire to risk hassles for a new look I don't even care about.
