Apple shows Steve is gone.

To look like my old phone & still battery
Is running out much faster

Countdown until the arrival of Apple hating trolls -— 4...3...2...1
I really hate to say this but Apple iOS 7 appears to be Windows 8 in appearance. I hate both.
So far I notice that I can no longer hit snooze on my alarm despite the fact that the option is set, and it’s nearly impossible to create/edit entries on my blog as the cursor doesn’t work properly in blogger’s text box.
iOS 7 works fine on my phone, the 4 version.
For those complaining about reduced battery life, it is because the new OS adds an background app refresh feature. Disable it and you will have your phone working the way it used to, on 6.
I liked iOS 7 except for the changes made to Safari.
Maybe over time I'll get to appreciate the changes, but not at the moment.
Another gripe is how Safari automatically goes to the expanded screen instead of allowing the user the option.
Bottom line, though, is it would take a lot worse than this to get me to move away from Apple.
I like the UI changes, the iPhone UI needed a refresh. But PhoneGap-based apps which were slow on IOS 6.1 are even slower now, especially on the iPhone 4.
IMO, this fingerprint ID business is stupid. Voice recognition with pass-phrases would be a better way of securing the phone. The phone already centers around voice communications. If Siri can answer questions, however stupidly, it surely ought to recognize a voice and pass-phrase. Pass-phrases could be tailored, such that some users (children) may have limited abilities like no purchases or no international calls.
The easiest, most natural way to interact with a computer would be by voice. Much easier that swiping, taping, & typing. Why should you even need to LOOK at the phone to do something? Complete voice control should be the goal.
Apple was headed that way with Siri, but now their thinking seems fractured.
I cannot believe the gnashing of teeth over this update. It took me all of about 2 days to adjust to the few changes in the OS.
If people don’t like it, go buy a Windows Phone.
Looks like “Hello Kitty” they could butch the screen up a bit.
