Still no iPhone weather app on ipad.
Lucky there are heaps of way better weather apps on the App Store
When do we see a NeoGAF mobile site design change?
Don't hold your breath.

safari is ugly as shit
These icons are literally the worst part of iOS7 though
I also hate how the tab icon in Safari no longer displays the numbers of tabs you have open
What's the new Tab limit on the iPhone? iPad has always had a larger Tab limit.

Do you have an American account?
Same thing happened to me just now, had to activate a station through Siri
I think it may be unlimited? I just know it's more than it was before

Did you update it? They released an update yesterday.
I'm a bit confused.
In Settings > iTunes & App Store, okay so I've got App downloads set to off because I don't wanna have apps I get on my iPhone automatically download to my iPad.
And I've got Updates set to on. So apps can update themselves.
Thing is I woke up and had 7 App Updates to do. A number 7 badge on the App Store icon. That means the updates weren't done automatically. But then the badge count started going down.
Is there a set schedule on when apps are automatically updated? How do you tell if an app updated itself?

I've only spent a couple of hours with it so far, but I'm far from impressed.
As others have pointed out (since the initial beta), it's woefully inconsistent in places, is harder to use at times (this new keyboard doesn't have enough contrast and it's STILL ALL CAPS!!!), and all too often just smacks of change for change's sake with little regard of actually improving anything.
It honestly feels rushed.

There seems to be a schedule, yes. It doesn't happen right away anyway. If it updates itself you will get a notification in the Notification Center.

All my apps are updated, so I did a reinstall, works fine, weird.

lotta black folks here
Seems to run pretty well on my mini and iPod touch 5 so far. Only gripe I have is that I can't access the Control Center with the Griffon Survivor case on my iPod since you seem to have to swipe from off-screen, which is seemingly impossible. Also, can you no longer search on a page in the iPad version of Safari?
Edit: seems after trimming my fingernails back(which weren't very long) I can fairly reliably bring up the control Center.

Ah, I see now. It is there, it's just ridiculously subtle to the point that you wouldn't even notice if if you didn't already know it was there.
How disappointing.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Runs pretty well on iPod 5G. Don't really see many improvements though.

"iOS 7 is here, but it seems there are serious issues concerning audio. TRAKTOR DJ, along with many other audio apps, is experiencing performance and stability issues on iOS 7. Initial testing has also revealed general audio performance issues that can affect some Native Instruments hardware. If you use TRAKTOR DJ or audio apps, we recommend you dont update just yet."

What's killing me is how thick the white bar at the top of the screen is on both the iPhone and iPad. Is there any way to thin out or even get rid of the address bar when not in use?These icons are literally the worst part of iOS7 though

Sorry it's all part of the design.

The Messages app now uses nicknames when they're present on a contact, which is nice. Like I have my father set up with his actual name in the first name and last name fields, with 'Dad' in the nickname, and now Messages shows 'Dad' at the top of the screen when I'm in a conversation with him.
That's what I was afraid of. I'm really finding it distracting.
Yeah, it's best to. Did you update via Software Update or iTunes?
If iTunes then restore in iTunes is always best. It wipes your phone and reinstalls iOS 7 again. iTunes won't have to redownload it.
If you did it by Software Update then Erase all Content and Settings on your phone.
BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT DATA FIRST!

Thanks, I updated from software update, will backup then erase all content and settings. Much appreciated.

Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6? I'm not liking iOS 7. I can't believe Apple took this direction with iOS 7.
You are better off going droid then, as sooner or later apps will need 7, on top of that any new iOS device you buy will have it installed.
I love it myself.

Not yet. That's all there is. We're hoping Apple releases a way to make them yourself using Quartz Composer or Xcode or something.

I love it too. And yet I totally understand the people who don't. They took a stand on going into a particular type of design, and those who like it will like it a lot, and those who hate it will hate it a lot. Better that than something bland and safe (IMO).

Just updated this morning.
How can I remove that crappy dark filter over my background image and why is it forced zoomed in? Both things make the image look a lot worse.
Any fix?
