Thread: iPhone iOS7.0 upgrade.

These are all major steps backwards that Jobs would never have allowed.

You can select the artist just as before...

Not sure what's going on for you..

Tried that a few times Tombie, there's still an element of delay when typing or doing anything.

Change the wallpaper in the back ground to the black style one. Then it makes it all look a lot better.

I like the drop down box and the up box with all the short cuts. Like the better way to change from one open app to another
Makes life a lot easier with something's but don't like the calendar.

I have had no software problems with my iphone or iPad. All works fine for me.

Yep pretty unimpressed. The apps look very cheap & tacky, one of the reasons I moved from Win CE based phones way back was the GUI. I have a POS Hauwei as a work phone and now my iPhone & iPad look like that!

I also find that as someone who is halfway between needing glasses some of the time the "new, sleek look" is an absolute pig. The low contrast and silhouette in-app controls are bloody hard to see.

I do like the quick access on swipe up. My 9 year old daughter likes it, but then she likes Home & Away and believes what she sees on tabloid news programmes .

Anyone feel like coding a skin that looks like iOS 6.xxx?

Some learning for you...

Take a look around the settings...

Accessibility for instance:

Invert colours is one
Increase contrast another
Bold text
Reduce motion

All functions that make the interface friendlier for those with eye problems etc

Yeah some of them help also change the back wallpaper to black still. This tones down the brightness of the apps and contrast too. Makes it look a bit normal.


As said change tex to bold helps heaps on email.

Hi Tombie
Did the first two yesterday...the parallax isn't a problem (how it allegedly gives people vertigo I don't know), I saw bold text but didn't get around to the reboot.

That certainly looks more readable, I'll give it a whirl...please tell me they're not going to do this to Mountain Lion
