I like the new functionality... Control center, multi-tasking, multiple pages in Safari, camera filters... But the visuals are kinda lame. The white backgrounds in text messaging, settings... Looks like one of my daughter's finger paintings. Too much white.

I have a 4S for work. Think I'll keep 6 on that until they force it on me. For nostalgia. Kinda like when I listen to No Code?

This is gonna take some getting used to. I like most of the new functionality, but I dont like the way it looks. It reminds me of my VTech Video Painter from when I was a kid.

The music shit is laid out horribly. Is there a fix?

It lists all the artists albums plus all the songs underneath the album title and the albums are not sorted Alphabetically so....?

Anyone?

So, I guess all the albums under their respective artist tabs are sorted by Release date. Thats all fine and dandy but not all the tags are coded properly so some of mine are out of order.

Most annoyingly, i hate how every song is listed under all the albums instead of like prior, being able to click the album and then get into individual tracks. Is there a work around here?

Yeah, I updated my old 4 to iOS7, and it's pretty crappy looking. It runs OK considering the outdated hardware, but visually they've sucked the life out of it.

I'm glad I moved away from Apple early this year when I changed to Android (HTC One). Apple seem to continue their old 'upgrade' process by introducing some shitty little changes between each model, that most other phones have been doing anyway - yet they make it look "revolutionary". They really to have a strangled approach to hardware advancement.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-Apple. The phones are normally well built and they have a great warranty service. Plus, I feel their phones are more user friendly - mainly due to being fairly closed in terms of customisation. My 4 served me well for about 3 years, and I use the warranty backup service during the second year without issues (due to a worn out home button). But when it came to upgrade time, each model that came out after the 4 failed to persuade me to stay, due to lack of features and things I would actually use, compared to the other phones.

Each to their own.

Glad Apple finally jumped aboard the bigger phone train. Good for them.

Ha, I think I'm pretty keen on the big one.

May need to see it in person to see if it's too big.
