What a poor OS, glad I'm an android user now.

Upgraded my works iPad which I use heavily at home, especially the picture frame which appears to be missing.

Was considering buying the new iPad but think ill consider the other options now.

Whilst I would learn to live with iOS 7, it annoys me that they have remove the Picture Frame option which I used heavily (well my toddler does).

Currently downloading 6.1.3 to restore back to, until Apple either put Picture Frame back or don't, the latter meaning no iOS 7 for the foreseeable future.

I'll just buy a 2nd one if it comes to it.

I won't be touching the new update on my phone or iPad. It'll just make my devices progressively slower until I think I need to buy the new ones.

looks fine to me /shrug

might be the placebo effect but my 5 seems quicker than ios6, it all works, nice new features.. it's good.

end of the day its just a software update, not like its a new phone or anything.

oh and surely there are 100s of pic frame apps?

bias opinion here but apple software is shit full stop
never liked it at any stage or felt comfortable with it, I'd rather use linux if I didn't rely on Micro$oft
just for ease of use and the dedicated software and hardware I run
yes I can do it on a mac but I much prefer a PC to work with

Still on iOS5 here... enough problems with 6 (including the loss of Google Maps app which I'm a big fan of) that I ended up holding off indefinitely.

You know there is a Google Maps app on the App Store now?
Also, you'll start to find apps become unavailable for your iOS as they update.

I'm on iOS 7 on two iPads and my iPhone 4. I was going to hold off on the iPhone but decided to try it and it all seems fine, although a touch laggy occasionally.

I think it looks a lot better now. I've only got an 8GB iPhone 4, so it required a lot of deletion before install. It works well enough, to be fair my phone has felt slow and laggy ever since iOS5, but I don't get an upgrade until April next year.

I'm wondering how many people are experiencing a speed improvement because of a wipe/reinstall, rather than ios7. The wife updated hers ("oooo! Shiny!") so I'll see how that works out for her for the next few weeks before I do my phone and ipads.

Using it for 3 months now, even the Beta 1 was good.

It negates the need for me to install a jailbreak.

Yeah, I got a text message from Barclays about that, saying I have to update the Barclays app before getting iOS 7. I'm not getting iOS 7 so I don't care!

i was afraid of that after the last time i changed phones and went through the hassle of having to phone to get re-authed but it worked perfectly.

the last update knackered my phone and took 2 restores to fix it but this one was smooth as silk for me

The way Barclays manage their apps is a bit strange. I had an iPhone 5 for a few months and in that time installed their app on the phone, well when it came to selling it I just wiped the phone and boxed it up. Few days later the new owner contacts me saying she can't install the app because someone else already has - well not my problem is it? Confused
