The new "Slide to Power Off" looks pretty tacky.

iOS 7 | Flatness Is a Good Thing
- Thread starter Talon
- Start date
I like if only that they probably fixed the little graphical glitch I get when turning my phone off. As I slide the switch to the right, a little flash of white pops up just at the switch.
I think it's mainly a problem with the 64 bit A7 devices.
Ah, right.
Took a little bit to load on 3G but it didn't crash Safari for me and it scrolls fine once loaded, the first page that is on 100ppp.
iPhone 5S, 7.0.4.

You can already remove parallax
Not without also turning off other animations.
No complaints on my Wife's Mini.
Not all other animations, just the wooshy ones that make people sick.
I never minded them, but having played with the setting I prefer it off. Makes me feel more efficient, even if I haven't actually timed transitions to make sure.

Does this run well on iPhone 5 yet or are there still bugs that make staying on 6 worth it? I'm kinda on the fence about 7 anyway simply because they changed how double tapping the home button works for multitasking. Who's dumb idea was that? So much faster the old way.

It's only faster because of the new animation slowing it down.
The new multitasking method is so much better than the old one. Hands down.

Faster is faster. No matter how good it looks. So it's still slow then 
are they planning on fixing it?

There is an option in Accesibility to disable most animations. It makes things a little faster. 7.1 isn't out yet.Faster is faster. No matter how good it looks. So it's still slow then

It's functionally better. The last app you used is in the centre and the app you're currently using is now viewable off to the side. The last screen shots help you navigate much better and give increased context to where you are and were.
In addition the screen shots aren't static - they're live - you can see them still working in many cases. Like messages come through on messages if it's the last used app etc.

When you say disable animations do you mean it's the same way but static or does it operate more like the old way?

On iOS 6 my dad didn't even know you could close apps. It was very unintuitive. He didn't even know about press and hold to move icons so of course he wouldn't know about press and hold to perform a totally different task such as making a button appear to close an app.
iOS 7 seems like it might be easier to figure out for someone. Especially with Safari having the same swipe gesture to close tabs.
And switching between apps in iOS 7 is much nicer and easier to tell which app looks like what.
iOS 7 multitasking > iOS 6 multitasking by a long shot.
Yup. More functional and the key thing - more context.

Will iOS ever enable easy multi user functionality?
My s.o. and I want to get an iPad, obviously to share.
Now I'm thinking about how we will use it. Should we use her or my iCloud account? should we create a new one for both of us?
How do you guys handle this?
It's bad enough (read unfathomably stupid and annoying) that on our shared MBPr only one of us can use iCloud match.
Surely it cannot be rare that two people or even a whole family would like to share an iPad or a Mac without having to loose significant functionality.
argggrrrrrrrrr

My wife and I just share our iTunes account and our iCloud account. We abandoned her old account a few years ago and now just use mine. We can still listen to all her old iTunes music so it's really no loss. IMO this is a better solution for us than having an account system. Who wants to buy apps twice etc?
My wife and I have out own iCloud accounts, because we need to have separate messaging channels, but she runs my apps. With home sharing on, she can just drag apps from my computer onto hers and they sync fine.
On iOS, you can have separate iCloud accounts for multiple devices, but then sign into a different account for the store so you can use another account's apps and music.

My iPad mini's wallpapers are still fucked up. I was happier before the update.

Hopefully at WWDC we'll see a revamped iOS 8 with better iPad support and a fresh look for OS X.

Guys, my iphone 5 is dead when battery life is still at 10-28%
Any idea on how to fix this?

After a lot of restarts, enabling and disabling iTunes Match, manually synching several times, deleting music from within the Settings app and even a device restore, I thought i had finally resolved my iTunes Match issues.
When I opened the Music app today, every single title was duplicated. One in the device and one pending for downloading, respectively. For fuck's sake.
edit: And of course, all my custom cover art has been replaced by theirs again and a lot of albums actually have no cover art at all now.

Supposedly a drain and full charge re calibrates the battery.
That is, the battery is aging, but the software doesn't know that zero is closer to 10-20%.
So next time, let it drain until it actually shuts itself off (it still isn't really zero at that point - it always holds some reserve), and leave it like that for a few hours. Then plug it in and charge to full without interruption - and leave it at 100 % for a bit before unplugging. See if that works.
Do you rarely allow a complete drain, followed by a full charge?
In Find My friends, there's a setting to show geofence alerts for everyone or for only friends.
What is the difference, though? My understanding is that geofence alerts can only be set for people who are registered with your find my friends anyway, and this aren't everyone friends?

My brother in law had to had his iPhone 5 replaced because of a faulty battery.
After a little bit more than a year, his iPhone was shutting down randomly when battery was lower than 40%.
If recalibration doesn't work, try to go to an Apple store and see if they can help you.

Yup, my iPhone 5 does this. Only started over the last month or so.
I reset all settings and content on my iPhone 5 two days ago. Since then I can't log into GAF from my iPhone. I enter my login and password, hit login and it tried to load but ends up just loading the login screen again.
I have Javascript enabled, I'm not in a private browsing mode. Any ideas whats causing this?
