    iPhone 7 update...

    Anyone else updated ? People generally don't like change I know but not sold on this yet , seems a bit harder to use.

    Some of the icons are harder to open etc just little things

    What do you all think ?

      I'm still using ios6 on my iphone4 but will be moving to ios7 on the 5s tomorrow... I don't like the look of ios7 tbh but the iphone4 is beginning to struggle a bit.

        is it just me or does it look a bit childish??? not taken with the flat icons and so far not discovered anything i'd currently been struggling to live without. A lot of fuss for not much it appears.

            I'll take droid any day of the week...been trying to love ios and failing miserably. Yet my nexus seems to improve a little with every release. Was on a galaxy S2 with 2.2.3 on it the other week..difference between that and 4.3 is remarkable.

              My lad upgraded to iOS7 and sent me a message straight away to stop me from upgrading. It looks like it was designed by someone with crayons was his comment!

                  Its terrible.

                  Take their latest phones for instance. The 4S and 5 arent even 720p display.
                  Next version we'll probably see some 720/1080p screens and they'll call it Retina Display 2 and market it as some amazing new feature.

                  Apple are very good at taking old tech and marketing as new and people who aren't tech savy but act like they are (hipsters) think it's the coolest thing and keep apple products rolling out the door.

                  The marketing is honestly brilliant.

                  Non HD screens = Retina Display = OMG it has retina display!!111
                  8MP camera = iSight camera = OMG IT HAS iSIGHT, NEW !!!! with 1.2MP front cam.
                  Dual core CPU = NEW 64 bit A7 CPU!! = wow it has an A7 it must be amazing. (I honestly don't think any phone uses more than 4GB of ram atm.. 64 bit is a waste, see the ediit, the most is 2GB, 5s still uses 1GB)

                  For the amount of money you're paying take a look at the what the Samsung Galaxy 4 offers

                  Screen = Full 1080p screen 5" 441ppi vs iphone 5s with 4" 322ppi
                  Camera = 13MP autofocus, LED flash & zero shutter lag and 1.9MP front cam.
                  CPU = Quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 in the U.S. (8-core 1.8GHz Exnyos 5 Octa elsewhere)

                  Notice Apple don't make claims like "iSight is the worlds most amazing camera in a phone".. It's because the Galaxy has a 13MP vs the 8MP..

                  5S only has 1GB of ram, SG4 has 2GB.

                  They really are extremely good at marketing.

                    Sorry for the thread hi-jak, im just amazed that people still purchase Apple products.

                    Their new IOS looks like a child designed it.

                      We've just had to upgrade our company phones, and so far it's PISH. The display is a total let down. Had to do a Google search and find out how to close apps down. The usual double click on home button and "long hold" on the app and hot the X, no longer exists.

                      And this security breach within the new software as reported by the Beeb.
                      Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple's new mobile operating system, less than 24 hours after launch.


                      Dam sure I'll not be installing the latest software on my own IPhone

                        I wanted to downgrade from ios7 as I think it sucks camel dicks. Looks like it can't be done as Apple have stopped signing the previous versions http://www.icj.me/ios/all#iPhone41

                          One the campest themes imaginable, I went to set my alarm clock on Thursday night and the bright tones seared my eyes! I held out to buy the iPhone 5 last year for almost a year after I lost my HTC and if I'm honest its been pretty poor piece of hardware and possible will replace it with an android of some nature by the end this year

                            LOL I am of much the same opinion, I told Claire not to buy an iPhone and to get something else, probably running android and she has regretted getting an iPhone since!
