some how it just looks cheaper to me. Kinda cartoon like. It does things quicker but it just looks kinda "unApple".

Try bold or larger font. In settings.

For my eye I like the typography and UI. I'm not a fan of the flat icon look, but it does not bother me. I really, really like the swipe up control center. I like it even better on my iPad.

I have not gone through past posts but the one thing that bugged me about the new version was the calender only showing a week - well if you tap on the month it opens up to the whole month. Just a little thing...

It also shows a full year on the screen at one view.

I love the feature where you can swipe your finger from the left to go back instead of hitting the tinny back button

Updated my iPad last night. Now it freezes up some, Safari quits often, corrupted mail passwords, fonts too small...and yes I tried to change that. I'll try to go back to the previous OS today.

So now I've tried to go back to iOS 6.xx and am told I cannot. I have downloaded a few version of 6.xx and none will work. Message says my iPad is not eligible for a rebuild ! Seems now I'll have to wait for 7 to get de-bugged by Apple... color me pissed off...

Restore iPad to factory settings and reinstall iOS 7?

[Drdogface]

Won't that totally erase every thing I have on it ?

When I was at the Apple store getting my phone fixed, they said the 7.1 patch will only be a couple of weeks away.

[Z-man]

I wonder if the 7.1 patch will include:

1. The option to select 'classic style' themes

2. A fix for the fingerprint crack.

[Drdogface]

Dunno how many 'fixes' it'll take to get me to like it. I should be able to go back....dam**it

Thanks for that.... I'm really not even sure which iPad I have...it's the first one with Retina display... I think I've had it a bit over a year and it's ATT connected...Verizon was not on board yet... Maybe you can tell me which iOS 7 I should download ? I'm not very tech savvy ...

What do you have on your iPad that isn't on your Mac or PC? How did you get it there?

No way 7.1 will bring back the former faux-realistic themes with the fake wood, pretend leather, 3D buttons.

As for the fingerprint crack, I don't see that it is really a hack. It is a fingerprint reader; if someone has your fingerprint, they can feed it to the reader. Just like if someone had your password, they could type it in.

That is the limitation of biometrics. You can make the protections more and more elaborate - require all ten fingers, require a retinal image, etc. Just like you could require a 30 character random password that changes daily.

The degree of inconvenience should be matched to the importance of the device and threat. If you are keeping truly secret stuff on your phone, better encrypt it, use both fingerprint and password, and then don't keep it on your phone anyway. But we're simply talking about an iPhone with my contacts, calendar and emails. If someone wants to follow me around, dust surfaces for my prints, find a clean and complete one that is of the correct finger, transfer it to a 3D mold, create a facsimile finger pad, steal my phone - I think maybe they have me mistaken for someone really important . . .

If they are that into me, they could simply break into my house and go through my papers and stuff. That would be a lot more fruitful.

OK, John.... guess you're right on the first sentence anyway. I don't have any top secret or illegal stuff on any of my machines. I'm just trying to make this as user friendly as it was before I went to 7
