Matt, do you have an Apple store near where you live? Are they any good?

I've had good luck with Apple products for a decade now but one of the big pluses for me is that when I have had an issue, the service at their stores has been amazing. And that's in multiple cities and multiple stores here in L.A.

I know it's a PIA to drive to the mall or wherever and make the appointment but I've had them hand me a new device more than once and quickly solve problems other times.

Overall, I've had great performance from the hardware. As for IOS7, I haven't installed it in my phone yet. Holding out because I like the old one.
