iOS7 - Features/Screenshots

[DrR]

Yeah, the old keyboard offends my eyes, looks so dated now!

 

[Munson]

By dated, you mean s**t. Right?

 

[DrR]

Yeah, that's the one!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I wish they'd introduce some sort of predictive typing thing, I loved that on my Android....one thing I really miss.

 

[Danny133]

I take it apps like tapatalk have to use the new apks to get the new keyboard?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

What's the new keyboard? I've not noticed a difference from before.

 

[Danny133]

So tempted to try a SGS4 with Googles nexus software not touchwhizz

 

[Jaff.]

its just a different colour, Roys being "holier than thou" again

 

[Munson]

It's totally different.

Looking forward to Whatsapp getting an iOS 7 makeover. The crappy 6 UI is a bit jarring. Especially the old keyboard. Ewwww.

I've found all apps to look naff now with the old keyboard, seems only native apps have the new keyboard. Looking forward to all apps being updated.

So I got a text messages from the mrs just now saying she was out for tea tonight, but the word tonight was underlined. I pressed the word and it asked if I wanted to create an event? How did it know that this was an event?

It does it whenever a point in time is mentioned. i.e shall we meet up on Tuesday 27th, it will underline. Shall we meet up tomorrow, it will underline etc etc.

 

[zedx19]

Ah I see, thanks.

 

[The Boosh!]

Another thing I noticed is you can see the exact time each message was sent/received by dragging your message to the left. Not sure if it did this in iOs6 though?

 

[zedx19]

I don't remember seeing that previously.

Quite liking the auto-update for apps now, although it doesn't seem to Auto-Update everything? Notification centre will say x, y, z has been updated, but then in Appstore it'll show some other apps to update manually.

You can't on iOS 6 nope, glad it has it on 7.

 

[DrR]

There is issue with not being able to scroll down if you've wrote a big iMessage and want to view the text above the keyboard won't close.

What time is iOS7 going to go live on general public release tomorrow?

OTA update or full clean install best?

 

[Danny133]

OTA, don't buy into clean install bollox,

Probably around 6pm

 

[iain187]

I'm 200 miles away from being able to sync with iTunes (which I never do so I will be due....)

Wonder if I will f**k up my phone doing this

 

[AndrewF]

I'm in western australia, probably won't see it until tommorow now

Backup to iCloud?

 

[cafcross]

In previous years I've been able to update at 4am, but nothing as of yet.

 

[cafcross]

Edit: just seen it is predicted for 6pm. The updates I've done in the past at 4am must have been the small .1 etc updates.

 

[paddymph]

AT LAST! eBay app updated, looks great and works a treat.

 

[Rich-D]

Not long now... I've had a raft of app updates in preparation...

 

[cava83]

iTunes will need to be updated if a fresh install is required and then sync I believe

 

[StephenJ]

Well here goes nothing.

 

[Sean6545]

12 Minuets left for me

 

[Sean6545]

Scrap that. Got an error now! Dam apple!

 

[mini_nick]

Trying to update mine, it says : Software update failed before it even tries to start (Iphone 4s) I imagine its the servers being overloaded!

 

[DrR]

Hmm mines not saying anything, but i've had ios 7 for 5 weeks, so maybe i don't need to update?

 

[paddymph]

Hmm mines not saying anything, but i've had ios 7 for 5 weeks, so maybe i don't need to update?

Same with mine?

 

[cava83]

There are issues, as a lot of people cannot download. Oh dear :S

 

[-J-]

My 4am keeps saying error as well, will try it later but I'm not overly fussed if it still won't work, lost the apple love.

 

[DrR]

There is about billion iPhones trying to download iOS7, no wonder it's busted.

 

[The_Pirate]

Mines is downloading no problem, apart from the 2 hours that its telling that its going to take.

 

[Ben]

Mine got around 3/4 of the progress bar, 7 minutes left then got an error message, oh well lets play some GTA while I wait.

 

[Millsy]

Hmm mines not saying anything, but i've had ios 7 for 5 weeks, so maybe i don't need to update?

Hmm me too. Would've thought mine would need an update to the final release. Wonder if it's worth restoring in iTunes.

 

[cafcross]

Needed 3.1gb to install, so had to delete all my music, and now I keep getting the error message.

Grrrr
