iOS7 is out today
« on: 18 September 2013, 11:07 »
Just a heads up. Probably around 6pm UK time. Cue the slow downloads and bricking of iPhones.

I probably won't be downloading it for a while. When iOS6 came out it completely buggered my iPhone 4. I don't want a repeat performance now i have the 5 as it's running nicely. Just apple's way of saying, "look your phone is now one year out of date, go and buy a new one or we will just make it get worse and worse"

I know what you mean but I don't think they do that (at least not to any major extent).

The 3GS has been supported since it's launch all the way up to now. Your 5 will be fine up to iOS8 or 9 I think.  :cool:

Yeah i'm sure it will work. But it will run slower i'm sure. When iOS6 came out myself and a few people i know all with iPhone 4's updated straight away. All experienced the same issues with slowness and crashing. I will wait and see what the general conclusion is i think.

doubt ill be downloading it... certainly not for a few months, cause to be honest, i couldn't give a fek about any of the new features...

a torch, phones had them back in the early 2000's why are apple only just adding that to there phones now, regardless i have an app for that.

all the stuff to do with closing apps and serch bars etc. its not exactly hard to do them the way it is now.

the apple radio doesent come out in uk till god knows when.

Thought you had the HTC One?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
