Have you ever restored your phone as new? I want to say this is an old bug that's been fixed but still would not have cleared the old cache, but I could be wrong about that. Any restore as new since then would prob clear that old cache.

Same thing here. I'll try it again in a while.
Just wanted to say that I absolutely love this update. It's so beautiful and I had absolutely no problems updating. I went to delete some apps for space and downloaded the update at 10:07 am and it only took 30 minutes through my slow ass wifi. I went out to get a haricut and came back with a new iPhone 5.
I do have a question, why is the bluetooth signal on? I never had it on or use a bluetooth, is that now for gps locations?

Luckily, upgrading over the air was uneventful. I lucked out! Jarring, but very interesting so far. Its color scheme is positively raucous. I'm looking forward to playing more with 7 as time goes on, but it's making a good first impression. I do feel a little less pressure to retire my 4S because it seems to place nicely with the new OS so far (and because the 5s would be an added shock in an expensive quarter and, oh, it's apparently supply-constrained beyond belief).
Anyone got a mirror for the download? Right now it's going to take 24+ hours with my 100mbit internet, yay..
Edit: Nevermind, got one. https://mega.co.nz/#!AgYngK5C!J9yBrFy9OMT7RLWWHFg7CiQY5z1kaP3v54Erjnyauhk
That's for 4S.

An update that includes a flatter icon is out.
There's a 'Designed for ios 7' section in the App Store now.
Hmm. Interesting, haven't seen it yet.

I'm picturing iBooks ends up looking like NewsStand. With the transparent white shelves peering into the wallpaper behind it. If only for consistency. I mean if they're gonna remove the shelves from one app, better do it for all of them.
I remember when Skeumorphism was awesome. Delicious Library made a big deal out of its realistic shelf design. Heck, even the original Notepad app on System 1 looked more like a notepad than Notes does now.
Dat skeumorphism! Look at that page corner fold!
My update downloaded, but I think the verification servers are dead. I keep trying to install but it times out during the "Verifying Update" pop up and I get a "Software Update Unavailable - Software Update is not available at this time. Try Again later." error.

AirDrop is iPhone 5/iPad mini/iPad 4 or greater. It has something to do with the new BlueTooth features the 2012 devices have.

Get this when I plug my ipad into my computer to activate it, ugh.
When the ipad isn't connected, itunes store works fine.
I'm getting the same with my 4S
I haven't. I'd still keep all my contacts and whatnot, wouldn't I? Those would be input back in the phone back with a simple sync, right?
Ah, that sucks. Oh well.

I had to restore my phone and now it can't be activated....this couldn't be going any worse
It's exactly the same thing.
Yes you do, you need to manually update from iTunes.

About half an hour after I updated to iTunes 11.1 it showed me an available update. I'm also on beta (6).

As long as you have your device set up to sync with either iCloud or your Mac then it'll put everything back when you restore. As long as you connect it to your Apple ID.
I remember when I bought my 4S from Radio Shack and the guy offered to put my contacts on it for me. (I switched from Android, but own a Mac, iPad and iPod at the time) I said no thanks. All that stuff was synced before I even left the store automatically.
You need to do a restore I believe.

It's gone from seven hours to twelve. Will just leave my laptop on overnight and sort shit out in the morning
Apple should have done a gradual rollout to avoid this stuff, or at least transferred some of there servers to ios. My itunes update downloaded in two minutes!

There was no need to. They are byte-for-byte identical. (At least, the 4S version I compared was. Because I'm crazy like that.)
In other news, if you want to direct-download the firmware from Apple, here are some links for ya: http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/102184/21050
Bad enough I listed my iPad 3 on eBay.

The additions to it are htrat, the swipe up task bar, the new multitasking thing, swipe down for the search bar, notification centre, pages on folders etc. But the colour scheme itself is ghastly.
I tried to change the colour (Invert) and didn't think Apple would actually be stupid enough to invert every single colour on the phone. I don't understand it, its horrible.

This is addressed in the OT.
Restore as new would bring back contacts when you sign in with your AppleID (provided you have them backed up to iCloud) but yes, apps and music (unless you use iTunes Match which makes your iTunes library available as soon as you log in like iCloud does for contacts ) would have to be resynced/downloaded. Restore as New is a fresh install of the OS.
Make sure it is set to automatic downloads in settings -> itunes & appstore
however keep in mind it won't update immediately. It updates at certain times and on wifi (unless you check it up update on cellular data also)
