So what's the reaction? Horrible backlash? Please tell me there are meltdowns.
Workin' fine on my iPad mini and iPod Touch 5G. Liking iOS7 thusfar, and this is my first experience with it.

Aside from spending almost an hour trying to activate my phone, I am really enjoying this on my Iphone 4. Can't really tell much performance problems other than a little lag with browsing menus.
The new sounds for ringtones and all are pretty sweet. itunes Radio is just freaking awesome.

AppStore is working now for me now. I restarted my touch.
Give that a try for those still having issues.

How do you turn on/off parallax scrolling?
General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion
Set the background and lock screen to a picture of your hairy balls.

This took a while to download. What I like so far is new lock screen. What I'm not liking so much is the dock bar, but I'm going to continue to fiddle with things.

My phone shows the update to 6.1.3, not 7.0. IS there anything I need to do for it to make 7.0 available?

Holy fuck can you turn off safari minimizing the bottom bar and URL bar when you scroll down? That's the stupidest shit I've ever seen.
If you're having battery issues try draining it out completely and then doing a full charge. iOS7 does seem to be a little bit more battery intensive but it should not be destroying your battery.
I get full days without charging, yesterday I had like 25% after 22 hours or so standby and 11 odd hours of actual usage.

Hoping someone on GAF can help me out. I updated my iPad 2 and my sisters (also iPad 2) to ios 7, and when I pull down on the homescreen, mines just says the date, hers has the date and the weather? Anyway to enable this on mine?
No but to make it appear again just tap the top bar. Takes a little getting used to.
It really isn't. Gives you a much better view of the page. All you have to do is either tap the bottom or scroll up a tiny bit to make it appear.

It's the new trend in mobile web browsers. Chrome does it too. And no, you can't disable it. I just got used to it.

I want to be able to use Cellular Data for iTunes Match (makes sense, since it's a streaming service), but not for automatic app updates. Why isn't that an option?
Useful trick if you're far down a page and you scroll up without your thumb leaving the screen until you stop, the bottom and top controls still stay minimized/gone. If you scroll up by flicking the page, the bottom and top controls return to normal.

What exactly does this reset?

Nope this kills this update for me. I ALWAYS stop neogaf loading with the x button in the URL bar because of large gifs. I also nearly exclusively use bookmarks to navigate. This extra step is disastrous.
They probably will bifurcate that option down the line.

I like iOS7, but the reliance on iTunes caused my old man to lose a number of photos because he hadn't synced in a while and he started the OS download directly for his phone while at work rather than at home, so his phone was stuck with the icon to connect to iTunes for hours. After that it wouldn't install the new OS without restoring to factoring settings, so after ALL of that was done, we restored from his last back up which was several months ago. Took 2 hours to do.
I fucking hate iTunes.

Turn off GIFs on mobile GAF. Then you can choose which to view and which not to (Although I don't see how the bottom bar disappearing when you start scrolling affects being able to stop the page loading... at all).
Your hyperbole is through the roof btw.

Right so, I read that as if I turn off Use Cellular Data, it turns off for iTunes Match as well as everything else. Right? Am I going stupid here?
Looks OK design wise, the bezel at the bottom might take some time to adjusting on the iPad. I just noticed they replicated the font used in Leica camera bodies, heh. iPad Mini is a bit slower at opening & closing apps, it used to be on par with the iPhone 5.
Other than that this damn thing has been given way too much hype for an OS update.

Resets all network data to factory default (you'll have to re-enter WiFI passwords).

To echo some others, all my updates stalled and now they all just say "Waiting...".
Anyone found a solution for this yet?
