Seven Costanza said:She has iCloud- you back up using that? Is that just for contacts and the like? Or is there some sort of iOS titanium equivalent that allows you to wipe the phone and reset back to the backup point?
Yeah I should have clarified that I didn't mean functionally, but it was just such a sharp visual shift for someone who has used an iPhone since the 3G that it's taking some recalibration on my part. I'm liking some things, not liking others.AlNipper49 said:
I've been on since beta1 and honestly it's not really materially that much different. Some nice things of course, but nothing new that was introduced is something that I couldn't live without.
The only thing which changed how I worked was opening up the amount of crap that I could pile into a folder.
That is correct. Once it installs, you just need to connect to the internet and login to iCloud (it guides you through this) and you're up and running as if nothing had happened.mt8thsw9th said:Once that is done, you can run the upgrade. I think if it's just an OTA upgrade, you won't need to restore anything, now that I think about it (I haven't done OTA updates in a while). The phone should reboot with the new OS and everything where it was before. Can someone confirm/deny this?

Dedicated FaceTime app is nice. The new Calendar app SUCKS for me. Font is too thin. More taps to see events in monthly view? Come on.
Also, no weather in notification center.
Other than that everything seems fine but unexciting.
This. My iPhone 5 basically needs to be constantly charged. I'm a heavy phone user as is (needing to charge twice daily anyway), but it's out of control now. I get like two hours.Blacken said:iOS 7 absolutely murders the battery life on my test phones.
I am amused.
Oh. I'll never update then. Nice.bowiac said:This. My iPhone 5 basically needs to be constantly charged. I'm a heavy phone user as is (needing to charge twice daily anyway), but it's out of control now. I get like two hours.
location service has always been off for me, as that has always killed the battery on any versionderekson said:I had a weird bug occur. Basically it seemed like the weather app was stuck in a loop requesting location data or something. The location services arrow thing was showing after seeing the weather in the Notification Center as usual, but it just didn't go away. And my battery was draining like crazy. I went into the Settings app and looked under location services and it showed Weather as recently looking for location data, so I turned off Location Services for the Weather app and immediately toggled it back on. It seemed to fix the issue; the app and Notification Center are both back to just briefly looking at location when I bring them up, and the battery usage is back to normal.
Just figured I'd post a heads up here in case anyone else has this happen without noticing it.

IpswichSox said:Maybe I don't fully understand Air Drop, but why would I want to be discoverable to everyone in my contacts? Would other people in my contacts know my location or when I'm in proximity to them, is that right?
This is actually one of the cool things about the Google/Notification bar on Android phone, that it would spontaneously tell me how far I was from either a frequent location, OR a location it detected in an email (GMail only). i haven't yet seen the feature in iOS7, as my test phone has been sitting in my office since I installed it, and I just got my real phone updated yesterday. I'll be interested to see how much it learns on its own.crow216 said:Yea, frequent locations is cool. I noticed it by accident a month ago and now I'm addicted. "It will take you 45 minutes to drive to xyz" is a really cool feature.
Hmmm... I wonder what combination of settings is causing it this time. It seems like every new damn version of iOS has a few configs that suck the battery dry. In my case, I haven't done any tweaking of the location settings at all yet, and my battery life is fine. But I know some other folks I work with how are seeing various levels of drain with the same usage patterns.Blacken said:iOS 7 absolutely murders the battery life on my test phones.

As the video shows, anyone can exploit the bug by swiping up on the lockscreen to access the phone’s “control center,” and then opening the alarm clock. Holding the phone’s sleep button brings up the option to power it off with a swipe. Instead, the intruder can tap “cancel” and double click the home button to enter the phone’s multitasking screen. That offers access to its camera and stored photos, along with the ability to share those photos from the user’s accounts, essentially allowing anyone who grabs the phone to hijack the user’s email, Twitter, Facebook FB +0.95% or Flickr account.

derekson said:Does upgrading on verizon cause you to lose unlimited data? I know on AT&T that it's grandfathered in and as long as you don't change the plan that you can keep it even if you get a new subsidized iPhone.
Going 4S to 5s on Verizon is going to be a much larger upgrade for you than it is for an AT&T user because the jump from Verizon's 3G data to LTE is huge, while on AT&T the 4S already has HSPA+ which is already pretty damn fast (at least for me it has been).
