    Installing on my iPhone 4 now.

    Got a 5S coming my way soon, but am curious how the 4 will handle it.

    I've been trying since 3:30pm, when it was done it crashed with a error message & thought I'd have to start over. Turns out the server is massively overloaded. I'm SOL without a phone until this problem gets resolved. I should have waited a couple of days until just in case something like this would happen.

    I have a Commodore 64K as my DC ( daily computer) and even I know you NEVER download any of the new Apple IOs for at least 1 month after introduction.

    It is fantastic on an iPad, especially Safari. You can now swipe pages forward and back; makes browsing so much better. It is just beautiful. Updated alarms/alert tones are lovely. I'm very happy. Can't wait to pick up a 5S and use the fingerprint sensor.

    got it downloaded on my phone but multiple attempts on the ipad haven't worked.

    I like it on the phone, but don't love it. itunes radio has some promise. Pandora is screwed.

    Agree, Pandora is screwed. I haven't installed on my phone yet, still enjoying my jailbreak/hotspot/facetime over LTE iOS 6.

    ios7 allows using your phone as a hotspot without jailbreaking

    As far as I knew, you had to choose unlimited data or a hotspot with AT&T.

    Hotspots been an option on my AT&T five all along.

    Downloaded 7 last night on both iPad and phone without issues. But I'm seven hours off EST and the local server may not have the same traffic.

    On the phone I have to use the lock now. Its four digits so I can't use the iPad PW. Another code to forget. BTW I had to sign into all my P word protected accounts after the down load.

    7 seems to load pages faster.

    well, finally got 2 iphones and an ipad updated.

    3 devices. probably took 50 or more attempts to update them. so, 94% of the time Apple's update process failed.

    not sure if I'm more annoyed at Apple for that statistic, or myself for making so many attempts. :eek:

    I'm curious. Did you update through the phone or tethered to a computer?

    Downloaded to my phone. Took 30 mins and I'm not crazy about it. I guess like everything else I will get used to it, but right now I don't like it.

    through the phone.

    I thought the point of iCloud was to not have to tether.

    I love how computer/phone/software companies use paying customers as their beta-testing staff.

    No intentions to update my phone or iPad until Apple makes it mandatory. I'm
    perfectly fine with 6 - and since I'm a Pandora Premium member, and use it daily,
    no way in hell I'm updating until whatever is wrong gets fixed.

    Apple = Microsoft

    Not much difference - just the logos

    :)

    I do all of my updates through the computer. The iCloud isn't big enough for my data and I'm not paying for it when I can easily do a back up on the MacBook. There's nothing wrong with the way you did it, I was just curious.

    iOS7 is beginning to grow on me. I love the way it flows from one screen to the other and the new sounds are... something.

    honestly I question the wisdom of using the cloud a lot. given the chance to do that one over, not sure I would have made the same decision. although it is nice to have multiple devices sync without having to tether and update through a computer each time.

    I like ios7, but it looks a little too "microsofty", or at least too much like some of the Android or windows phone devices I've played with.

    You know it may take a while when they suggest plugging the phone into power before downloading.

    Downloaded it. No issues at all.

    I think the OS is a huge improvement.

    Same for me. I also downloaded it right as it became available, so perhaps I beat the server rush...

    Downloaded last night. Works fine as expected. Really think the design could be improved. Somewhat surprised how clunky it looks. And yes, I know all about the flat design trend, which I generally like.

    I agree, it does look and feel like a Microsoft product.


    Anyone install it on an iPad 2, yet?
