iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and ios7

Anyone get the new iPhone? Upgrade to ios 7?

I'll have to pass on an upgraded phone this time (using iPhone 5), upgraded to ios 7 ... I like the new flat design overall.

I'm still rockin my 4s 32gb... I've always gotten an S upgrade so I'm waiting on the 6 hopefully next year. My 4s is in tip top shape

Got the ios7 and it's great, I'm still trying to play around with it to get best battery life, that's the only downfall.

Have it on my iPad 3. As well

I love iOS 7 for the iPhone. Can't stand it for the iPad.

Wife bought a 5c about 8 hours ago. All day I heard "Fuck, fuck apple...piece of shit"

I grabbed the phone about 10 minutes ago and solved her problems.

I'm so far...based off of her interrupting football and PJ day.

I'm good w/ 4S and iOS 6

I've had no problem with iOS 7 on either the iPad or iPhone ... I think iPhone 5c has the potential to be huge at christmas, especially with the younger people who Im sure will definitely like the option of choosing from different colours.

I only have one gripe.

When you swipe to answer a phone call while your phone is locked it keeps the number pad up so you face dial the buttons. Super annoying.

Other than that, I love it.

i like the changes to the camera ... swipe to change from video to photo to panorama ...

I've upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios7. Btw, I found out today that there is a FAKE ad that claims by upgrading your iPhone to iOS7, your phone will be waterproofed. And some people actually fell for it.

One of my tweets was quoted in this article about the same thing. Made me laugh.

I learned how to use the flashlight today. It'll come in handy for those middle of the night trips to the bathroom, lol

Not sure what's going on with my icloud after the update but every time I send a text message to my wife, it gets sent to me as well. Kind of annoying.

Go to settings>iMessage you might have her email address selected.

Bingo. Thank you but why would that kick back to me again?

Because you don't need a phone number for iMessage and that email address is probably associated with your account as well.

OK. Thanks again.

I got a iphone 5 three days ago. I had the iphone 4 before and while it served me well the last two years, I wanted to have a better camera cause I use it quite a lot. The 5s was too expensive this time and the 4s looked too similar to my old phone, so I went with the 5. I dig it. I was happy that the phone hadn't be upgraded to the new os already, because I don't like the flat icons on ios7.
Is this upgrade necessary and are there options to change the button look back to the 3d-ish look?

if you are not a real techy type person and don't like the look of iOS 7 then don't upgrade ... i believe you can go back but its a rather complicated process. At least thats what I have read. Their is no options to change the icons back. Personally I think all upgrades are necessary ... mainly because going forward all apps are going to be created for ios 7.

Meh. Usually, I do all the upgrades cause I know they are important at times. But this time I'm hesitant cause I really don't like the new look... The transfer of my apps and stuff to the new phone also hasn't worked properly. I backed my old phone up with iTunes cause I wanted to avoid using iCloud. I don't like the thought of my data hanging around somewhere where I don't know where it is :shifty: Well, turned out when you use the iTunes backup, it doesn't transfer the apps, photos. With iCloud it is supposed to work. Boo.

if you're using it for the camera - i do suggest the new OS because it makes the camera toggling between video, camera and panorama way easier ...

Yeah, I caved in :shifty: I might as well get used to it now, I guess ... I love the panorama function Well, and compared to the 4, the camera really is better.

I read that it doesn't have any probs with the new ios, only the 4 has... I like it better than I thought. And I am amazed at the camera on my iPhone 5

Apparently this issue is fixed as it is no longer staying at the keypad screen.

I have experienced problems with my ticketmaster and livenation app on the new phone (not the NEWEST iPhone, I have the 5). I cannot login. Mailed tm and they said they are aware of the bug and try to fix it. Let's hope I won't have to buy hard-to-get tickets in the meantime :shifty:

i have the 5. There is a chance my phone was close to death before the upgrade. All is well now though. I really like the new system. Smooooooth

Got the 5s in the mail today finally. Ordered it 3-4 weeks ago. Loving it so far...especially the thumbprint thing to unlock the phone.
