iSO 7 update

[malc1950]

I have just checked the software update on my iphone 5 and ISO 7 is now available,
Has anyone updated yet, as I am worried that the Bluetooth in my 2004 facelift X will not be compatible  >:( ,

I have updated. Overall great, except one app does not work.

I think generally, bank apps with passwords no longer work at the moment ...

I like it apart from "UK Siri" seems to have a bad head cold so I am using the Canadian voice at the moment. My Nationwide App is working fine. Like the home screen parallax (the background moves while icons stay still when the phone is moved). Finding the way to close down apps took me a while to figure out. :-[

All OK on my iPad 3, although getting the update authenticated took several hours.

The Bluetooth functions should not have been changed on current units as that requires more than an OS upgrade.

Bank works ok for me

Maybe you've run out of money.

Bank app doesn't for me either, also iOS 7 seems to be destroying my battery. Anyone else noticed this? I know my 4s is nearly 2yrs old and its early days yet using iOS 7 but it does seem to kill it.

Just updated on the iPhone 5. Not sure about the new look.  Seems a little android in appearance.

Did mine on my iTouch 5S last night , shame it didn't tell me that my iTunes is no longer
compatible with it !!  >:(

I agree with you Don , it does look like an Android page now .

I preferred the sharper look of the older icons rather than the nursery school type noddy icons.

It has nice features, for sure. Not noticed any battery difference though, I do like how you can kill applications now by just swiping them up.

I've seen the new colour scheme described as being like something out of Teletubbies (whatever those are), but then as it was designed by a Brit I suppose that's possible......

The swiping of apps to close them is straight from the HP Touchpad......

I suppose we'll get used to it.  The press reports indicate there aren't enough 5S models about and few folks want the 5C.

You will so get to know who and indeed what the teletubbies are as the mini x5sport grows up.  You may even be thankful for them.  )

What do you guys mean, swiping the app to close?

Hmmmm.........kids!!

Right, on the iPhone/iPad you close press the 'Home button' to exit the a App, and then press it again twice in quick succession.  That will show all Apps running in the background.

All you do is put a finger on the app you no longer want and swipe it up the screen.  That 'force closes' it.  Simples.

For IOS 6 and earlier, the same button sequence but you only get App icons.  Press and hold one of the icons and it gets the shakes and a red X appears.  Just tap each app icon in turn and it is force closed.

Saves battery life, and some Apps continue using your data even in background.

Ah, understand.  Simple action for a simple mind.  I always thought this apple stuff as difficult.
