I’ve been running iOS 7 for about two weeks now and it’s been quite a change. Overall I really enjoy it, but there are definitely some issues that need to be worked out and new things to get adjusted to. Here are some of the highlights:
Geotargeting with the radius of your choice! Anywhere from 328 to 7.92 million feet, haha. I wished for this back when iOS 5 came out and now I have it!
New, more gentle and pleasant ringtones.
Liking the new graphics – simpler, cleaner, brighter.
New organization of photos into collections, more useful multitasking view with easy swipe to close, and better view of Safari tabs. All nice changes, but take some getting used to!
The Control Panel makes it easy to get to useful features. Finally, convenient access!
I like knowing when sunrise and sunset are.
Being able to block callers will be helpful.
If you pull to the left on the text messages, you can see the time of each, thank goodness.
It’s great to be able to correct Siri’s pronunciation.
The compass now offers a hidden feature: inclinometer! Now you can figure out what perfectly balanced is.
And a few things that aren’t so great:
For some reason the new keyboard is different enough to make my typing worse.
The apps keep having to reload when I move between them. I thought they were supposed to work in the background…
The screen fades too fast and I never tap it in time. Of course when I tried to get a screenshot of it fading I got the full brightness instead, but you get the point.
Have you updated to iOS 7? What do you think? Or what’s keeping you from making the change?
