*********** OFFICIAL iOS 7 THREAD********

[KJP]

Ok, So i have had an iPhone 4 for the last couple of years and tonight will go home and unpack my new 5. What will be different from iO6 which I believe was running on my 4?

I am assuming there must be some pretty bbig chanegs for everyone to get so excited. I have also seen on my iPad that I keep being told to 'Get ready for iO7' as otherwise my apps won't work

Its a complete overhaul apart from the tiles

Male and female siri voices
iTunes radio (only available in the US at the moment, I think)

Nice, thanks guys. It looks pretty good. I shouldn't be excited about it but am.

I have a very techy evening coming up as the Mrs. just text me a photo of GTA 5 that she just bought me next to the parcel for my new phone so I will spend my time between the two of them playing!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Ahh yes of course, giving my personal opinion on a new piece of software means I must be a right boring loser because I don't think it's very good? Nice logic.

It's not only phones though is it.....

Downloading now

Broken yet?

 

[martyn20]

just started the download

 

[Acker79]

Getting an error on my ipad download (have turned it off, just about to turn it on again). iTunes telling me my ipod touch is up to date. Grr.

EDIT: Turning off and on again didn't help. Will leave it for a while (assuming too many people downloading).

3G can't handle the load, connect to Wifi if you can, the download isn't that big.

All Apple products are terrible, expensive dribble.
