If Only I had a dollar each time..
don't worry Jura, we all feel the same, 5s + 7.04 was indeed the best phone
5s+7.1+long carrier name = slower than my original first generation iphone2g
I can't speak here for their latest betas, because it is against the rules and my comment will be deleted. but what I can tell you is if Apple doesn't solve this with 8.0 you can consider me bye bye.
I've been using apple products for more than 14 years, I've been developing for third party companies since 2005 and also been a signed/registered Developer my self for a good 3-4 years?
Back in the old day they released 7-9 betas before an official release..
and even beta 1 wasn't that bad to begin with.
Surely all betas always had bugs but never were they filled so overwhelmingly with problems - so you could focus on fine tunning the ios- solving bugs like this and thus achieving a super stable experience for the costumer.
it was unheard-of to brake things in such a manner in a new release like going from 2.1 to 2.2, and you could ALWAYS go back to earlier versions anyway!!
What I can also say from how things seem to be going, is that this particular bug it doesn't seem to be a priority for apple because they have so many things to fix with ios8.
If you want to stand a chance with this.
If you are a developer PLEASE open an issue and label it long carrier name problem
and describe how the phone becomes slow and unresponsive
The more times somebody opens a bug issue for a problem, the more likely is to be fixed.
This is how apple works these days.
If in the meanwhile this is Fixed in one of their new betas (like 8 beta 2 or beta 3) I will let you know
if you don't hear from me again it means that apple is not fixing this any time soon. So don't bother upgrading because you will have a broken phone for a much longer time than if you don't upgrade.
