Official IOS 7 thread.

The paralax stuff can get annoying. Is there a setting to turn off the wallpaper movement? I'm betting that will save battery power.

Thank you so much! That would have driven me crazy had I not been able to turn it off.

Have any of our U.S. members tried iTunes Radio yet?

I've been trying since 10 PST and finally around 11:45 I was able to get the latest iTunes. Installed that and now it's slowly downloading IOS 7.

Not enough free space on either my iPhone 4 or the wife's iPad 2 to do a wireless update...guess it will be via iTunes when I get round to it.

Having said that, I'm not sure I'll bother with my iPhone 4 just yet anyway....I will be updating to the 5s as soon as I can, and the sister-in-law is taking the 4 off my hands, so I will just do a restore once a shiny new iPhone 5s is in my hands

Yes and it's absolutely fantastic!

Either the download or the new IOS 7 drained my battery. It was 100% charged this morning and now it's down to 14%.

At the end of the updating process when my iphone was about to restart I got an error message saying "update not available at this time" and I'm still stuck with the old version of IOS and 2gigs of used space !
Any suggestions ?

Less than 30 minutes of downloading and this is what I get in the Philippines. Sigh.

Yahooey! No more getting the spotlight screen when I meant to double click the home button! That was genius!

Okay, I am absolutely loving iOS 7!

The Good:

iTunes Radio - I have been playing around with it and it is better than I thought it would be. Too many stations to even count!

Videos - This was a total surprise to me. I can stream all of my iTunes contents from wifi. I don't have to download movies onto my phone to view them. Unfortunately it only works on wifi. To view movies in 4G/LTE it has to be downloaded.

Siri - It is absolutely more functional. I thought it was okay before the update, but mostly as a novelty. I mostly used it to get sports scores. Now it absolutely controls the phone. I can turn features on and off. I can open apps.

The Bad:

iPod: I have around 400 CDs in my iPod library. The new cd display is a bit much. Also, I can't seem to be able to list CDs by artist. It only lists by cd title. I've been playing in the iPod settings, I have list by artist, but still no go.

Control Center - I made a thread earlier about not brig able to access it. A member here jumped on it and unfortunately nailed it. I can't open control center while my iPhone is in it's Otterbox Defender case.

That's all I have so far.

Hopefully it will come to Canada before too long.

Maybe he doesn't have enough free storage space. I had the same problem on one of my iPad 3's. I believe you need about 3.5 GB of free space to do the download. This space is freed up after the completion of the download and installation.
