    My 1yr old daughter can't tell the difference between IOS7 and her toy phone now... This could be fun!

    The face time app has a nice black screen with white and blue text which I think looks really good (very Tron). However it just reminds me of my mates new Nokia... the white/grey everywhere on all the other stuff makes me think they are getting users ready for the look/feel of the upcoming iwatch. Some mock ups I have seen have curved transparent screens with very similar GUI's... it all probably looks sexier on transparent screens?!?

    Ok, so for a technical dunce like me, what are the advantages of the update? I haven't installed it yet, and I'm still undecided if I should or not. My ipad works fine as it is - do I need to upgrade anything?

    And, if it takes that long to download, how big is it? Will it take up more space as mine is only a 16 gig unit, so I don't want to waste space with crap I don't need.

    Cheers - Gav

    The best way to see what's new is do a YouTube search for ios7 hints and tips ..there is quite a lot there, the only thing I don't like, it the new graphic look like they where done by the same people that did " South Park " which I can't stand ...Gary

    Had a few other thoughts about why the GUI changes...

    1. Now they can sell more apps for theme and background changes.

    2. If we all whine about an obvious easily fixed issue we will be less inclined to focus on the other unwanted (for existing long term product users) changes.

    It's all brand management stuff... Very devious big business protocol. Just like most marketing and advertising spin out there these days.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    The fact that 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 came out within a few days of the much heralded release is a bit of an admission that things weren't as good as they could have been.

    With my iPad, I've definitely got a reduction in battery life - it seems that the Bluetooth keeps turning itself on at random.

    Not the cause...

    There is a function now in the OS that allows background apps to wake up and refresh.

    It needs turning off if you don't want to burn more battery.

    I haven't noticed a change in battery life on my iPad 4 or the ip5.

    As a comparison, windows 7 was shipping and had patches as it shipped!

    So it is the cause then Tombie. The fact that iOS7 has introduced a new feature that now allows background refresh where iOS6 did not, that is a new change introduced that would affect battery life is it not?

    And yes, I had turned the background refresh off, but the two updates I'd done over the last few days must have switched it back on again.
