I really didn't like it at first, it looks too "cartoony"...not sure how else to describe it. I do like some of the features like how the photos are organized by dates and the iTunes Radio. Also the speed on the 5s is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151700 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:53:38 +0000 heartonastring 1151700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I updated my iPad right after it was released. Pretty neutral on it, and it does use a lot of battery life really quickly compared to before.</p> <p>I haven't updated my iPhone yet because I don't have enough space on it and have been backing it up/deleting stuff a little at a time to make room, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151695 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:47:38 +0000 Bao 1151695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just updated today, I like it so far. I followed some tips to save the battery but can't say if it's much different than before or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151692 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:42:44 +0000 shinymama 1151692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I updated about a week in, and I agree with the battery life issues. :sad: I like that they changed the type face for the "Notes," and that they're no longer notepad yellow. :happy: </p> <p>I was considering getting the 5, and once I did the upgrade I felt like I had a new phone, so there was no need. I'll just wait for the 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151645 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:15:09 +0000 yin 1151645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a week to finally take the plunge and update. It's nice, but I prefer better battery life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151612 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:58:26 +0000 Lindsay05 1151612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. My battery was terrible immediately afterward but seems better now after following some of the tips to make it better. I have troubles downloading new apps now though, they get stuck on 'waiting'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151578 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 17:19:44 +0000 chopsuey 1151578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my 5s yesterday! No updating needed. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151496 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:22:11 +0000 indi 1151496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hadn't because I thought I was due for an upgrade this September...nope, NEXT Sept. I'll steal my brother's upgrade in January, but now I think I'll still just wait to update my phone so I don't have to delete so many music files off of it. Not worth the time and effort for only a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151491 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:17:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 1151491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I upgraded my work phone and I HATE it...with a passion! My battery dies, I hate hte way apps open "at you" it makes me dizzy, and it's too cartoonish. I'm holding out as long as I can before upgrading my personal phone and iPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151473 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:03:40 +0000 Penny Lane 1151473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it!</p> <p>I get frustrated with iMessage randomly not working, but other than that I like how it looks, and I love the control centre thingy!</p> <p>I made sure to go back through the settings and turn off bluetooth, location services, and background app refresh and I think that is meant to help not drain the battery! I haven't noticed any difference in battery life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151446 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:54:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 1151446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, neither DH nor I have upgraded yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151393 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:19:19 +0000 ShootingStar 1151393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it on my 4S and I haven't really had any problems. Battery life seems the same, apps work fine. The only thing I don't really care for is the animations - things zoom in an out or fade in and out and it takes an extra second or so which sometimes annoys me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151373 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:12:23 +0000 MrsTal 1151373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't and probably won't. My friend who has a 4s, which is what I have, did it and she's on her third replacement phone in a weeks time. Apple keeps telling her its a hardware problem so they can't really fix it, just keep giving her new phones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151357 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:05:03 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1151357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I know...I thought the same thing! I thought users would overwhelmingly love it! I had about 15 comments, and only one who loved it and he was a super duper apple lover! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151318 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:44:13 +0000 Alivoo01 1151318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and while I like it, I kind of wished I didn't because I have an iPhone 4 and iOS7 is making my phone lag like crazy. It's annoying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151285 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:24:11 +0000 pregnantbee 1151285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! DH thinks I'm nuts, but whatever. I will hold out as long as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151257 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:12:15 +0000 sunny 1151257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I haven't! I am waiting for my 5s to arrive and then I plan to sell my phone. I will let the new owner decide if they want iOS 7 or not :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151254 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:10:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 1151254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Yeah, that cord burned out on me like a year ago. I'm actually on my 4th charger. I finally just purchased one with a lifetime warranty, because my phone eats them, it seems. Never had this problem with the old (3, 4 4s) cords. And the charger I have now is permanently attached; no detaching it. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151246 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:08:54 +0000 illumina 1151246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't do it! I wish I hadn't- it looks awful! My iPad asked if I wanted to update a day later... definitely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151237 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:04:54 +0000 runsyellowlites 1151237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: You can still use your phone while it's updating (or atleast downloading).. you just wouldn't want to leave your wifi b/c then it'll pause. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151234 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:03:30 +0000 Boheme 1151234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to get around to it one of these days! I'm so impatient while its downloading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151229 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:01:15 +0000 psw27 1151229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm neutral. Safari confuses me and seems glitchy and the camera is supposed to be better but my 4S is so destroyed it doesn't really make a difference. I don't mind the stylistic changes and I like multiple pages in the folders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151219 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:58:30 +0000 PurplePeony 1151219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm neutral on it...at first I wasn't impressed but it has started to grow on me as I get used to it. One thing I HATE, though, is that Safari now lets you swipe right and left to go forward and back pages, and I'm constantly getting myself onto the wrong page accidentally. But it doesn't seem to correct properly if you swipe back the other way, so then I have to retype in the whole web address (or click a link like "boards" here) to get myself back to where I started from, and then try again. I can't figure out if there's a way to disable this function and it's seriously getting on my nerves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151216 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:56:56 +0000 runsyellowlites 1151216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it a few days after it came out &amp; it's the only update I've liked right off the bat! I haven't noticed any glitches, my battery lasts about the same (no noticeable changes either way), and there are just too many features that I love to list!</p> <p>Off the top of my head:<br /> time stamping texts/imessages (I :heart: this)<br /> time stamping pics &amp; being able to organize by day taken<br /> switching between &amp; closing apps<br /> settings directly from lock/homescreen including commonly used utility apps (flashlight, alarm, etc)<br /> itunes radio<br /> no limit of apps in a folder<br /> filters on pics directly in iphone (no extra app needed for simple filters)</p> <p>It may be alot like android, but I wouldn't really know b/c I never had one. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151204 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:53:19 +0000 mrs. bird 1151204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: crazy! everyone i know loves it. but most of the people i know are apple lovers, so maybe that makes us biased </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151203 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:53:11 +0000 Springtime 1151203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree it looks more like the android. My battery dies faster as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151199 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:51:37 +0000 mrs. bird 1151199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: &amp; @T-Mom: i had to delete a bunch of apps and dump &gt;1K photos before i had space for it, lol</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: isn't your charging cord your computer cord? i just pull it out of the outlet prong piece and stick it in the USB</p> <p>i'm normally slow to update things, but i did it 2 wks ago &amp; it's like i have a new phone, i LOOOOOVE it! it does seem to drain my battery faster, i'll need to get a car charger because it seems to turn off sooner. i never know when it's gonna shut off though, sometimes at 25% it turns off, sometimes i can use it for 20 mins when it's at 1%, so i never know &amp; that def annoys me. overall, i think it's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151173 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:44:04 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1151173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done it. I put out a poll on facebook, and the overall consensus was that everyone hated it. Reasons included imessages not working properly, battery draining faster, phone/ipad freezing randomly, apps not working properly, etc. I think I'll wait a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151171 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:43:18 +0000 T-Mom 1151171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also do not have enough space on my phone to do the upgrade.. not to mention the 54 updates in my app store that I apparently have waiting for me, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-users-have-you-updated-to-io7#post-1151164 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:39:46 +0000 BananaPancakes 1151164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done it, but mainly because I don't have enough space to do it on my phone, but I also don't have a computer cord, so I can't hook it up there, either. One day I 'll get around to it. And I can't imagine my battery life could get any worse that it already is. </p>
