Is anybody else excited for iOS 7? I'm pumped!

 

I encourage whoever is interested to watch introduction video above.

It's inspiring. Apple truly are a class above.

 

iOS 7 will be released this fall.

Wow a status bar/control centre where you can turn on/off features such as bluetooth/wi-fi/mobile data...

 

...what will Apple think of next?

 

Proper multi-tasking of apps?

[Black Rose]

The video was inspiring, sure.

I tried ios 7 on my 4s, though, and went back to ios 6. Very counterintuitive and messy. Very unlike Apple.

 

I just hope they don't ruin OS X now. Mavericks is pretty solid, though. So far.

 

Development version?

[Jayden]

I'll probably wait until the official release this coming fall. I know there are a lot of improvements from the beta I'd say.

[Mollyxyloto]

It's very,..... Bright.

[Batman]

And it only costs 700€, what a bargain!

 

 

/SARCASM OFF

 

I rather buy a model from the rival firms for half the price and with more features

Small screen stubbornness is killing them, and pissing Trump off.

[Guest LiquidSky]

I haven't done the update on mine yet

[getithom]

I love iOS 7 more than I thought. :dazzled:

[Comicforce]

I've done mine and I like it apart from the clunky grey backgrounds around the apps. :thinking:

[Mollyxyloto]

I don't like how "safari" is now :/

[Black Rose]

Seems Safari has finally merged the search bar with the address bar.

[Guest LiquidSky]

so far, I like the itunes Radio. Listening to dj Jared Leto:stunned: I wonder if Chis Martin is in here too..

[Christa42]

Viri, I have not done mine yet, my kids did it and they lost ringtones and screwed a bunch of apps Messages up

Christa! I did the upgrade! So far the icons seem a bit bigger? The itunesRadio is alright but it seems like it doesn't have much yet. I don't like how my old wallpaper is so zoomed in (so I'm going to have to change it). I don't like how the icons changed? It looks kinda cartoonish?Everything just kinda looks different but all my ringtones and apps all work the same and all my messages are there also. I did backup my phone before I did the upgrade though

[Comicforce]

I Didn't lose anything. But yes those icons.

'Waterproof iPhone' ad hoax tricked users into destroying their handsets

 

iPhone: worth splashing out for?

 

'Waterproof iPhone' ad hoax tricked users into destroying their handsets

 

Fake advert claimed Apple's latest iOS 7 update could make iPhones waterproof by automatically shutting off power supply

 

A hoax advert shared on social networking sites has tricked iPhone users into thinking the latest software upgrade had also made their phones waterproof.

 

The hoax claimed that iOS 7 included a "smart-switch" that automatically protected the iPhone's "delicate circuitry ... it will shut off the phone's power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage".

 

The misleading rumour was circulated on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites and reinforced by a convincing spoof advert which mimicked Apple's own marketing material.

 

The prank is believed to have originated from the controversial internet forum 4Chan.

 

iPhone users were tricked into thinking their devices were waterproof by a fake iOS7 advert.

 

Fooled by the fake advert, which included the statement "waterproofing covered by Apple's warranty policy", some users reportedly upgraded their iPhones with iOS 7 and dunked them in water to test the new feature – only to discover they had just destroyed their expensive smartphones.

 

Apple's new iPhones, including the iPhone 5C and 5S, cost between £469 and £709 without a contract, depending on the model. At launch in September 2012 the iPhone 5, last year's Apple flagship phone which also works with the new iOS7 software, cost £529 direct from Apple.

 

Several users took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, including Joe who said "Ok whoever said iOS 7 is waterproof GO F*** YOURSELF, " and Ricardo Tamayo who also seemingly fell for the prank too: "Whoever said iOS 7 is Waterproof your phone.... F*** You".

 

The iOS 7 update – which does not make devices waterproof – was released on 18 September, and despite suffering from frustrating download delays, saw enormous demand that doubled both UK and German internet traffic and is estimated to have been downlaoded 100m times within 12 hours of release.

 

• iOS 7 is a complete visual redesign of Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch operating system combining flat design with bright colour and enhanced features.

LOL

[westergs3]

The new version is good but it drains your battery waaaay faster than the iOs 6. Too much background process.

Still laughing. Part of me thinks these people don't deserve to own a smartphone if they're gonna think this is a good idea
