Who's running iOS 7 now on their I device? I've been using it for 24 hours and so far really like it.
 
I have it on an iPhone 4 for mess around with it and I like it a lot. I have my iPhone 5 jailbroken and I'm not willing to lose that for the iOS 7.

This was a much needed redesign by apple and I think they did a great job. A few small issues have been found but none the less great job.
 
I just put it on my iPhone 4 this morning, and it seems to me that it is running down the battery faster than the last operating system ????? Could just be my imagination though !!!
 
This is pretty cool

In trying to figure out if there are any ground breaking features. So far it looks like a cosmetic update mostly. But, I probably never knew all the features of the previous iOS.
 
Running IOS7 on 2 iPhones and two iPads. Initially, the first few hours, it seemed it must be doing internal housekeeping as they were all slightly slower and battery drain was slightly higher. After that, it settled down to great performance and battery life.

Some really nice new functions. Many new features to learn how to take advantage of. Initially I was not fond of the icon look but it does seem to grow on you. Love the parallax view of the background.

Initially I found the text to be too thin for my eyes but you can go to Settings/Accessibility/Bold and fix that easily. New Camera app functions and Photos app groupings are nice as is iRadio. Calendar is quite different but actually more functional, IMO. Since I have several idevices to manage I find the automatic updating of apps a real timesaver.

Solid upgrade, no issues so far. Seems like all my devices are new.
 
Started my download 1 minute after it went live. How's that for early adopter? So, far I love the new features but the appearance takes some getting used to.
 
I love everything except the texting screen is too much white. There needs to be more color in that area.
 
It looks hideous. Everything is white over white and a mix of pastel colors. I won't upgrade to it. It's good if you like the teenage look.
 
I really like it, but it seems to use up battery faster. But, I guess thats because multiple apps are running and refreshing at the same time?

That and anything like bluetooth being on, WIfi being on, brightness levels, the amount of time the screen stays on after it not being in use.
 
Got this message, it's all the photos I have saved lol.

Next upgrade I am getting a 64gb :D
 
I got mine and it will take me a long time to learn I will be about 1/2 way through it when update #8 is available
 
I haven't noticed any difference in battery life. After the update I noticed Bluetooth was automatically on and I never have it turned on. Just make sure to exit out of the apps you aren't using and turn your screen to auto adjust brightness.

You mean if Bluetooth is on its always searching and that eats up battery? Good to know as I thing it's always on for me. Wifi I leave on, as the connection comes and goes into LTE when I leave my house.

Yep anything like Bluetooth and wifi will always be searching if they have no devices connected to them.

At lease once a day I go through and close out any apps by double clicking the home button. This will bring up the multi tasking bar. You will want to hold down on an app to bring up the wiggle feature. You will have and x on the app click the x to close it out. This does not delete the app from the phone only stop it from running.

Another thing I have seen is that the more Internet tabs you have open the more it's checking for updates to the page the more you will drain your battery. Email is another thing that will drain your battery is it always checking for emails. I have mine set to manually check.
 
Uploaded this morning and I like it. Smooth sailing so far. Like the redesign.
 
Staying jailbroken on my 4 with ios 6. I have read that 7 runs slow on the 4.
