Title: iOS 7 - Love or Hate?
Post by: Admin on September 20, 2013, 04:39:09 AM
In the Love camp myself.  Feeling a bit like Bond after a visit to Q.

Diane loves it, I'm kind of neutral. Some stuff, like the bar sliding up from the bottom. shows up when I don't want it and is a bit irritating. Last night my iPad starting playing music of it's own accord. Time will tell.

Had it just paired with a bluetooth device?

Mine automatically plays my one song in the music app when I pair with a bluetooth speaker.  Good thing it's SRV.

This is not iOS 7 specific, happens with 6 as well.

That control bar from the bottom is great, but it rarely works for me (maybe my thumb?).  The Communications one that slides down from the top works consistently, though.  A little more buggy feeling and maybe more non-intuitive in places than typical Apple.  Still, cool new stuff.

I like the way apps get closed now.  But, it isn't intuitive.  I had to go search online for an answer.
I don't mind the lock feature on my iPad.  But, on my iPhone I don't want it.  What the purpose of having an ICE contact if the person that needs it can't get it?

I snapped a pic of my biz card & use it for the lock screen.

I've been using it for a couple months, it's come a ways since the first beta release.  Hated it at first but then once I put it on my ipad and stayed with it, love it now.  When I have to help someone with iOS 6, it feels so old.  The control center from the bottom is awesome although it does seem they are playing catch up with some things since the same ideas have been a part of Android for so long.  The iPhone 5c on the other hand... ugh

More love here, I find it similar to OS6 but with some nice little additions.

Not fond of the colors of the new apps or the "invert color" option, too bad that option was not customizable.

At least in part.  With Samsung making the display and the A7 chip (and rumor has it a few parts of Johnny Ive), well....who knows what to call it?

I work in an office of about 40 people.
39 iPhones. 1 Windows phone.

Guess who hates their phone?

No proponent of the Windows phone here.  But 39/40 using the iPhone?..

I work at a church

My group of freshman guys has 100% iPhones as well.

Only the computer/gamer nerds dabble in Droid.

I'm a network support guy in the IT dept of a large company. I happen to be a Droid user but it's really not relevant. We have a lot of both Droids & Iphones here. I'm getting a BOATLOAD of people calling with phone issues on their Iphones. Their not really issues with the phone, but changes in the IOS that they can't figure out, or refuse to try & figure out anyway. Their pretty simple issues, ie; Bluetooth connectivity, can't organize their desktop, etc. They just can't figure it out.

I know someone who works at Microsoft's headquarters, and it's apparently about the same percentage there.

Depends on the team. Employees have incentives to use MS products so there are a lot of them around. But vendors don't have those incentives so their not quite as common.

Love it!

Used to have my iPhone Jailbroken on iOS 6 simply for a few tweaks which Apple have now implemented into iOS 7 so I'm a happy chappy.

Private browsing is pretty cool too ;)

True that. There's also something funny going on with incoming calls. I'm getting messages from people when the phone didn't ring. Or maybe I've finally gone deaf.

There is a new setting called background app refresh that let's us kill evil apps. I turned off app refresh for all but one app

It might help your phone. Mine is good.

I wonder if this is provider issue.  I get it too.  Ringer on, no indication that a call has come in.  I noticed that it was happening on my dad's Samsung Note this weekend as well.

Add me to the list of having received an incoming call w/o ever hearing it ring.  Is it Verizon?  I doubt it.
