    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 :D 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 :o

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

    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.

    I finally upgraded and HOooooooooOOOOLY SHIT do I hate the music (iPod) app for iOS 7 and the way the artist view makes you scroll through every song if you're looking for a specific album. I also don't like the fact that they order the albums by year rather than alphabetically.

    Are you one of many Apple fans who say that the zooming, floating effects in iOS 7 are causing seasickness? A new feature in Apple's latest update should sort you out, and may even make older iPhones easier to use.

    iOS 7.0.3 contains an update to the 'Reduce Motion' option found in the Settings menu of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch gadgets running iOS 7.

    While that option previously dialled down the 'parallax' effect that makes icons look like they're floating above your wallpaper, it now also puts a stop to the zooming-in-and-out effect when you open an app, or return to the homescreen.

    Instead, the homescreen and new apps will simply phase in and out of view, in a reassuringly flat manner that seems unlikely to make anyone feel unwell. To find the new setting, go Settings, General, Accessibility, Reduce Motion.

    Better for iPhone 4 and 4S?
    The new tweak won't only please those who were turning green at the gills every time they turned on their smart phone, but may appease owners of older devices, like the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.

    The weaker processors in those older gadgets can turn iOS 7's graphically-intensive zooming effects into a stuttering mess, that quickly becomes frustrating if you're trying to get something done quickly.

    The more basic animation option in iOS 7.0.3 may be a better fit for these older gadgets. I've tried the new setting on an iPhone 4S, and anecdotally it does feel smoother, with noticeably less time between actually tapping on an icon to having it open and ready to play with.

    How does your smart phone handle iOS 7? And what do you think of Apple's radically revamped OS? Let me know in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.
