Just got a message on my iPhone 4 that 7.0 is "available". Why's Apple pushing for people to download 7.0 on the 4? Isn't the UI in general horribly unoptimized on the 4 or was that just the beta builds?

Safari had a framerate ?
I really don't get watch Match and the Music app do sometimes. It picks album covers for artists, but doesn't display a ton of them even though if I go into that artist those covers are viewable just fine. Also I've got one cover that seems like it didn't download/upload properly and has just a square of color from the album in the corner. No matter how many times I change it on my mac and update match it just won't update on my phone.
Honestly 7 ran better on my 4 than 6 did.

My friend has an iPhone 4 and also runs better than iOS 6

Wtf does anyone know how to clear Safari history? I don't need some family member seeing my porn searches in here. Used to be easy to just use 'clear history' in ios 6 and they'd disappear, now the sites still pop up if you type them into the URL bar.

I see it now, but it's too late for that. This is ridiculous, how can there not be a simple way to clear it.....
See my edit: I got what you are saying now, that doesn't fix your current issue.
Sorry :/

Maybe this is a bug because I cleared my history and cookies and things are still showing up too. No clue how to even report this

Nice wallpaper. Do you have a link to it?
I don't recall them saying it would be unlimited at WWDC. As I remember they said the old, restricting limit would be removed and you would be able to have more tabs open at a time but not unlimited.
It's one of the stock wallpapers in 7.

Ha, thanks!
I use FaceTime constantly with my girlfriend as we're in different countries at the moment, it has always worked fine even during beta. FaceTime audio is fantastic, really good quality even cross country and on cellular with minimal data usage.

It's always been about keeping it simple and just working. Nothing new.

It thought that a street in my neighborhood had a culdesac when in reality it's a straight street that has a school along the way. Yea I'd say it's got issues.
Just had a strange bug where my iMessage was turned off on my iPhone, all my previous messages turned green and any new message I tried to send went as SMS. The iMessages I recieved instead went to my iPad.
I've turned the phone on and off and it's back to normal but it was a bit strange.

Sounds good. I haven't extensively tested it but it never worked in the two times I tried it.
Anyone else getting this message with YouTube videos? I am getting it with every embedded video. How can it be fixed?
I'm not getting that same message, but I am experiencing issues with YouTube for the iPad.
I open it up, and opening page isn't formatted properly. No thumbnails, text scrambled everywhere, essentially looked broken.
It fixes itself a few seconds after I scroll down or up.
And a flat menubar would be like Windows' taskbar, especially if you enable transparency.
I'd love for OS X to take design cues from iOS 7, personally.
I've really been wondering about this, too. Right now the two OS's feel very different.

God I hope not. OS X is like a classic Burberry trench coat whereas iOS 7 is more like an Ed Hardy shirt.
That looks pretty good.
But then you factor in the third party apps. I mean Steam already looks like fuck all on OS X.

...hate me...
I think there's no way they won't make 10.10 flat. There's just too much of a UI design disconnection going on right now. Icons, iMessage speech bubbles, everything really. Even iCloud has been updated. And iWork will be updated soon, by iPad's event is my guess.
That will be the massive thing for OS X next year.

Hopefully next year's OS X does. I imagine Apple didn't have adequate time with the whole cutting Forstall thing in late October.
Just think, if Forstall never messed up on Maps and refused to apologize, we may have never gotten this flat UI. At least, not at the same extremity Ive is pursuing.

Every app has a framerate.
He would have been gone either way. Maps was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I'm saying if his mess-up on Maps never happened.
yeah, and hed still be gone and ios7 would still look exactly like this.
the issue was that he sowed discontent with other execs. the Maps thing, like Tobor said, is not what got him ousted. there was a manager for Apple Maps team and he got fired.
It's sort of shitty because, if you hear what old Apple teams - particularly the initial iPhone and Safari teams say - Forstall was the reason a lot of shit got done. Apparently he was the one that advocated hardcore for using WebKit.
And yet all the general tech public associates him with is leather stitching.

The Today traffic estimations, is that only triggered by calendar appointments? Or is it more like Google Now, where it just starts giving it to you based on where you tend to go at certain times?
It's funny, but yeah, as mentioned, like 90% of the changes are cosmetic. A friend asked where Spotlight was (I know some say power user feature, but people DO seen to use it - I guess it is in lieu of high level customisation) and how to kill an app in the multitask view and I said you have just stumbled upon the two big things in that 10 % actual change.
Yup, emoji keyboard. I label every folder (I have many on my other pages, including genres for games) with a dinky little emoji. It's fun deciding which one!
As for the apple, I believe it's a 'symbol' as in in a character for a particular font on Macs. I just copy and pasted it when labelling that folder on a mac when my iPhone was plugged into iTunes.
Yah! It's mostly cool - but some places like the transparency on notification centre it looks like multicolour vomit.
It's one of the ones provided by Apple! Is it not on your selection in iOS 7?

Ah, I actually forgot about that. I remember how Bob Mansfield had retired, and then returned soon after Scott was fired.
Forstall was always known for having a strong personality. I believe the joke was that he thought he was Steve.

OS X itself was "extreme" when it came out. Coming from OS 9's UI which was vastly different. Heck, Windows changed its UI completely three times in 10 years. I think a big change and more iOS7 cues in OS X could be really nice to look at. I even really like that screenshot above. OS X will have been out for 14 years and is currently about to go on its 10th incarnation. Until now it's just been gradual changes over time. I hope there's a big change next year.

I just read a comment like that from a WWDC 2011 video. Steve and Scott had a strong relationship, dating back to the NeXT days. Steve also was a big believer in the skeumorphic UI. This is probably why Scott wasn't cut earlier.
A big graphical change like this would certainly warrant something like an OS 11 monicker...
(Without actual having to change anything and maybe ward off naysayers asking what can a hypothetical 11 really bring?)

Leopard and Lion were big changes to the OS X platform. Leopard made some great improvements to the UI, with the removal of Carbon, adding a reflection to the dock, and adding transparency to the Menu Bar. Lion also made some modifications such as the smaller traffic lights.
If Apple goes the flat route with OS X, they need to ease the consumers in like they have with iOS. Making one big, unfamiliar leap will upset the majority of users (Windows 8).
