Pretty much every Apple app that's preloaded on the phone? And any App Store apps that have been updated to use the API, which is most of the ones I use on a daily basis.

Incorrect. Your iPad 3 is sluggish because it has an underpowered processor driving a high resolution display.
The iPad 2 will work fine. The mini does too. And they're basically the same. The 3 is the black sheep of iPads. Released too early before it was finished baking. The iPad 4 was what the 3 should have been.
?
Just unlocked my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 and there's definitely an animation when the apps come in.
Edit: oh, this was already addressed.
The iPad 2 is actually more powerful (per pixel) than the iPad 3.
He is talking about the fade in from a sleeping device, not after unlocking iOS 7 addenda fade into and out of sleep instead of instantly waking the display on the lock screen.
for those concerned with individual app opening “fly out” animation speed, this video shows it’s practically the same as iOS 6.

the differences (not shown in video) are the fade in time turning on the screen after sleep and then, to a lesser extent, the initial fly-in of all apps from the lock screen to home screen transition.

I just tried it, you have to wait for the animation to finish.
Man that video really highlights how ugly iOS6 looks next to 7 too.

I hate the new task switcher and the fact that i cannot just swipe right to continue playing my music/podcast while in the task switcher. Also do not like the fact that the music controls are on the screen even if you press the home button once from sleep, that makes songs sometimes skips while in my pocket.

Well i see the difference right there that in ios 6 the fly out is from the middle of the screen nomatter where the icon is. In ios 7 the fly out affect is from the location of the icon

I prefer a single swipe to bringing up music controls rather than using the task switcher + swipe. Less actions to do stuff = yay.
Control Center is a much more efficient way of controlling music than the task switcher was IMO.

The music controls on the lock screen seem somewhat problematic for me too. I had earbuds in the other day and accidentally woke my phone while pulling it out of my pocket. And as I was gripping the phone, my finger blindly touched the screen in the magic spot that raised the volume to 100%, nearly ending my life in a lonely, grey subway station.
Agreed, it's proving to be a big improvement in use.
That's really your own fault for listening to Christina.
Also they changed the response if the camera button. You used to be able to hold the camera button and release it to take a picture. This helped you keep the phone more still while shooting.
Now it just continuously shoots, I found this out by taking fifty pictures by acvident today

I like the quality of itunes radio but why are nearly 90% of songs edited? Annoys me to no end.

What do you mean edited

I mean they bleep out curse words. Trying to listen to hip hop radio is almost impossible if you hate edited music.

It quite clearly is though, especially if you have to open an app that is in a folder. I am not sure how you can deny that really.
Edit: I am being harsh here, it is not that much slower but there is a difference. Not sure why apple don't let you decide how fast the animations go, or whether to get rid of them entirely, like android does.
I can't use it here in Australia but isn't there an option to choose whether they play explicit songs or not? I'm 99% sure that's the case.
There is an allow explicit toggle on iTunes on Mac and PC I can't seem to find it on the phone yet.

There's an option for Allow Explicit Content.

Hmm, thing is a few of the songs weren't edited...
Where's this toggle on Mac, and or iPhone?

On the iPhone, it's the i icon in the top middle. In PC/Mac iTunes, it's on the right side of the screen above your stations list.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I just figured they played whatever came up.
Thanks! You have to be playing a station to find it.
Don't know why it is not in the settings application under music.

I never did that. I always first stayed still then took the picture. I guess you would have to adjust how you took pictures
This is not true. Name me some, besides safari.

Am I crazy or did iOS 7 remove the ability to have different email accounts have different tones/vibration settings? I am pretty sure iOS 6 did.
Yep. You can in settings maps and music, but not photos or calendar or weather or stocks.

So temped to update my mini to ios7 but I can't stand lag, especially input lag on the keyboard, ummm decisions decisions...., this is my first apple device and I love how smooth it is currently, hated the slight stutter I had on my android tablet even though it was reasonably specced.

I wish some things were faster. One of the reasons I jumped to the iPhone 4S was how snappy and responsive the OS was, and iOS7 is more sluggish on it. Also, a dark theme and better default ringtones would be nice.
Mail, messages, music, video, Apple Store, game center, phone/contacts, notes.

Just set the Frasier theme as every single tone. My phone rules.
This. You might want to actually try it out in some of the apps beforehand
Edit: Can't speak for iPad as I don't have one, but you didn't specify iPad and I can't see why it would be any different tbh.
Apps are laid out differently on the ipad so the gesture doesn’t always do the same thing or have anything to do at all. for example, messages/ contacts have a permanent split pane view (nothing to go back to) and mail has a slide out temporary message list when you slide back.
but, in general, most apple apps (and newly updated 3rd party apps) will use the gestures when an arrow indicator appears to go back a level. if it’s a text label but no arrow (see notes on ipad), then the gesture doesn’t do anything
the exceptions are the ones like calendar on iphone. (which is an issue itself, to not be consistent)
Makes sense. The gesture only works on apps that seem to have "layers" on top of each other.

Maybe crazy.
Notifications --- mail --- email account --- tones
Just like ios 6
Lol
My opinion that a lot of the OS is not that attractive still stands I think, but it's a non issue when everything is hidden away anyway.
Really love how fast the 5S is with iOS7. The animations have grown on me as well. I think some could be a bit faster, though.
I think a couple of my issues are that 1 - I wish I could access the multitasker some other way. I don't like double clicking the home button. Maybe a gesture or a button on Control Center? And 2 - I wish there were some way to choose what photos got saved to the camera roll and to photo stream. Probably +70% of the photos I take are to send via Line or iMessage or something and I want to delete the photo right after it sends. It's kind of annoying have to go go into the camera roll and photo stream albums to delete individual photos multiple times a day. I could wait and do a bunch in the future but I'm too organized for that ~ ~

Why have a 'good wallpaper' if it's covered by icons. Also 'order the icons in a nice way' lol.
Depends what you access I guess. Or if you consider a single press to open a folder 'so inconvenient'

I don't understand having folders on page one and then a lot of empty space under it.
I have an iPhone 4 and I want that extra row of icons a 5/5s/5c gives you.
Give me your extra row of icons if you're not going to use them!

I like clean looking home screens too.
You were just wondering why people thought the half second fade in was annoying while you were fine with it.
The open folder animation is quicker.

Sheesh, I hope none of you use folders or anything on your computer. So inconvenient!
Also like I said in another post, 5S speed + how the new spotlight works makes accessing apps easy. It's like Alfred / Quicksilver on your phone. Though if I could make it so the search field is blank with each opening of spotlight that would be better.
Well yeah I kind of do. Because folders themselves can only have 9 apps per page in rows of 3, so then you have to open the folder and dig around for the icon. It's much more convenient having my icons spread out over 3 home screens and then putting the ones that are similar in function in folders together or the ones I don't use as often.
I suppose if you regularly use Spotlight that makes it easier, different strokes for different folks and all. Just saying my preference.
See above
it's not about the animation.
