    Yes. I'm wrong.

    I don't know why Remy Zero doesn't have a compass on the 4.

    In iOS 7 google maps shows which way the pad is pointing. Isn't that the same as a compass?

    I'm confused. I checked and checked, i have no compass on the iPhone 4.

    I also don't have a compass on my iPad 2, besides 3rd party download.

    Just checked my wife's iPhone 4 and she has a compass. Have you tried to spotlight search for it (may be hidden away in a folder somewhere)?
    If you have iOS 7 just go to the home screen and, with your finger about halfway down the screen, swipe down. This will bring up the search where you can type in compass to see where it is hiding.

    my compass is in the same folder/group I left it in. I was able to search for it.

    I'm really enjoying ios7. Seems speedier (4S) & looks better in some ways with more function (i.e. swiping up from the bottom allows some quick access)

    iOS 7.0.2 is out, and addresses the security issue mentioned above. It weighs in at 21MB if you're on an iPhone...not sure about an iPad version.

    iOS7 burns thru my battery a lot faster. :(

    So far my biggest issue with iOS 7 is that it broke some of my apps. My OBDII scanner app won't work until they make it iOS 7 compatible.

    I agree. Seems to be the biggest hurdle. I believe my battery may be draining a bit quicker too.

    7.0.3 out today. Anyone tried it yet? Fixes the extremely frustrating iMessage bug.

    I still don't like it.

    I'm stubbornly holding on to iOS 6!

    Put it in both the ipad and the 5s yesterday. So far so good.

    And I've gotta be honest, I'm really starting to like the new interface......

    Cheers,

    my biggest gripe so far (besides the afforementioned Microsoft-esque fonts and design) is it's too complex now...each screen has too many features packed into it.

    I can't tell you how many times I clicked somewhere to get feature a and got feature b instead.

    The update eliminates some but not all of the page loading delay that came with 7.0.
    Anyone else notice the delay?

    Here are too issues; both very hot topics as well on apples communities pages;
    Can't resize wallpaper photos - very stupidly annoying (try it)
    And the really bad one - long term you will see a lot more of this topic

    It's too f-ing bright! It's like staring at a fluorescent bulb...even turning down the brightness doesn't help.
    'notes' are bright white instead of yellow is a perfect example.
    My eyes are sore after a few hours on my phone.
    Compare it to the look of ios6, the easiest test is to compare text messages side by side, you will be very surprised.

    i tried resizing the wallpaper photo for some time and finally gave up
    at the Apple store one of the Apple gurus said it was because of the photo format size not being a square V 4X6 etc.
    i did an eye roll and walked away
    can't believe no one has complained about this

    So I'm still using iOS6.

    I really, really liked the old look and feel. With iOS7, I might as well get another device. That look and feel was part of the Apple experience, and now it's gone. And there are some interesting competitors...

    I am still using iOS5 on my 4S. I would buy a new 5S if I could use iOS 5/6 but since that isn't an option I am sticking with mine.

    So I'm not alone.

    7 vs. 6 feels like someone installed Microsoft Windows on my Macintosh.

    I wouldn't go that far but having upgraded my iPad and iPhone I don't see much benefit.
