i have 400+ artists and artist browsing in music player is hilariously tedious. It's like they designed if for those with no fucking music
oh, and if you select a song that's already playing, it starts the damn song again. previous versions of iOS had it right, by simply showing the now playing screen again. it makes a million times more sense. god there are some geniuses at apple now.

Had a bizarre experience today.
- Brought iOS7 iPhone 5 to Apple store for repair
- Apple switches out for new phone.
- New phone is running iOS6.
- Can't upgrade phone to iOS7 before setting up phone
- Can't restore from a backup because iOS7 required to restore backup
- Had to set up as new phone, upgrade to 7, restore phone, restore backup
My recommendation to fix this would be on the restore from backup screen if the user gets an error because they don't have a required iOS version, allow the user to do a firmware update.

So here is something random I noticed. My wife and I were updating to 7.0.2 or whatever and she has a white phone and I have a black phone and once the update was going through with the apple logo and progress bar, her background was white and mine was black.
The google search results layout on the my Ipad has changed into some sort of card interface.

Does anyone know how to change it back to the previous version?

What's so hard about using the A-Z scroller to go to the artist letter? Or even searching? I don't see how you could make flicking through 400+ artists any less tedious.
And starting the song again when you tap it makes more sense to me. If I want to see the player screen I'll tap the Now Playing button in the corner, why would you tap the song to do that action?
My girlfriend's phone had a similar problem. After doing a bunch of research it turned out there was a bug in iOS prior to 6.1 where if you deleted a text message and there were images on it, the images stayed on the phone but were inaccessible. I found a utility called iBackupBot (http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm) that let me view the contents of the backup and delete things from it. I backed up the unmodified backup first just to be safe. Then I wiped the phone and restored it from the modified backup. She got back nearly 8 gigs of space from doing this. It was a very time consuming process but glad I figured it out. Also I did this before we upgrade to 7.

Google cards, cards everywhere.
Updated my mini this morning and the settings app has a red badge as if there's an update.
Rebooted, won't go away. My OCD is killing me.
Noticed the same thing with my lady friend's phone and mine.
What of gold?

Doubt it. I'm glad we can finally get direct links from Images search again.
You could always get direct links by doing a long press and copying the image url.
This is a downgrade since it's impossible to browse image like before. You have to tap each preview, wait for the page it's linked to to load and the go back to the previews if you want to view the next picture. It's tedious as hell.
Runs fine on the mini from my experience, which means it probably runs well on the iPad 2 since it's essentially the same hardware.

This, I can 100% agree with. Sucks a major one, and ruins the mobile experience.
With the previous design, how would you get the direct link of an image? Tapping it wouldn't send you anywhere and the only links I remember were to the webpage it belonged to.
By doing a long press on the image you'd get two options: save image and copy image url. The second one gave you a direct link to the source of the image.

Wait, really? I only remember it letting me copy the actual image for purposes such as MMS.
Looks like I learned this too late in. Ah, oh well.

Slight bug on my iPhone 5 (and maybe other models?):
When I open the Music app and start playing a song then lock the phone, everything works fine. But if I unlock the phone with it turned sideways, it stutters to go into album cover view or whatever and the music skips for a second. Happened more than a few times today.

So I haven't been able to install the iOS 7 GM after running the beta. When trying to restore my iPhone, I get a message saying, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The requested resource was not found." And I am running iTunes 11.1.
Edit: Never mind, I option-clicked the Restore button in iTunes. I forgot that would let me choose where my have my .ipsw file stored.

iOS 7 is so damn buggy, but why?
so far these apple-made apps have crashed on me:
settings (yes the fucking settings have crashed! holy shit...)
music (too many times now)
photos
safari
notes
messages
what gives, apple? steve jobs is sorely missed
this has happened to me twice. it's annoying because music is my most used app.

This happened to me a lot too.
I don’t think that looks that good, tbh. the shadow on all the icons is kinda ugly and unnecessary
edit: saw the revised image. better. not sure I like some of the chunkiness (see compass or clock) but it seems nice.
Some iOS7 icons are nice, some feel unbalanced or a bit garish.

Whoops, picked the wrong one the guy did.
I'm not too keen on all of his icons either, but some are certainly nicer.
I do actually like a lot of iOS 7's icons (like Music, Calendar, Clock, Photos), but some are absolutely atrocious. Settings is a complete and utter disaster, and the colours of many of them is poorly done. The apps themselves I have no problem with.

To be honest I was referring more to the colours. Also the settings icon is bad, but so is the actual one.
I'm hoping Apple will finesse the colours and icons, but I feel they're too stubborn to do so.
Anyone running into this problem? Running on iPad 3. Whenever I return to the App Store after a while and it's showing the pane for an app I've downloaded (you know, where you download a specific app and you can see reviews, images of it etc.) I cannot touch away from it to get back to the actual App Store. The pane will not close, and I end up having to force close the App Store to get back to the storefront.
Is there some alternative way to close panes other than touching the background behind it that I'm not aware of? That's how I've always done it, and seems to work fine once I've restarted the store. I assume its a bug...

Eh it's give a little, take a little. My absolute favourite icon in iOS 7 is the music one, so I feel that shouldn't be touched.Just found a redesign that someone did of iOS 7.
If only it looked this good.
Safari in that version doesn't really follow their design language of the larger circle - which I don't mind.
The settings app is weird because it has the coloured toggle implying on, but has an 'o' implying off. The settings icon should really just have the icon from the 'general' pane within settings - just a grey icon with a single flat cog. That's the most annoying thing about he settings icon - they already have designed a good one!

So I've had enough time with iOS7 on my iPad 2 and 3GS to make a reasonable opinion.
It runs like absolute shit. I mean it really struggles to do some basic functions without stuttering and lengthy pauses.
The actual design is okay, a bit 'me too' in appearance but much better than before. At it's core though it's very much the same, nothing new of note apart from the control center. The notification pull down is a hot mess. It lacks consistency as well, it really doesn't feel at one yet.

3GS doesn't have it.
3GS doesn't, 4 is as low as iOS 7 goes.

Sorry I meant 4!
It runs well on the iPhone 4S, but noticeably worse on the vanilla 4.

What is your device? AirDrop is only available on iPhone 5 or later models if I'm not mistaken.

Agreed.
The settings icon in OSX and previous versions of iOS was perfectly fine, so I have no idea why they couldn't of just taken that further instead of doing something which is a complete mess.
Poor choice of words. I meant redesign of the home screens icons.
I'm hoping Apple will rework the icons for iOS 8, but who knows?

Swipe up for Control Center, and then tap on AirDrop. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth need to be turned on.

Still miss the iPod app. Or at least something that would give back a space on the grid.

I had huge battery drain issues and they're all gone now. I have no idea why. Maybe the new update or an app update.
Prob an app update.
I didn't have huge issues, but it does seem to have leveled out pretty well.
