Well, I finally caved and bumped my iPad up to iOS7 (7.1.something, actually). After months of ignoring my app uodate requests and that little “1” in General Settings, I hit the wall. One of my apps no longer worked, and the update required iOS7 (which I thought wasn’t allowed, but okay).
So I’m curious - anyone managed to cling to iOS6 still?
Cool to see some others have lasted. I remember all the squawking about the interface and while i’m not thrilled, it seems like no big deal. My sole gripe is my aftermarket charge cable - it no longer allows audio when it’s plugged in. That means i have to use thr factory cable on the go and the third-party one at home, since i use that one overnight.
Okay, add one more gripe - everyone seeing this as Apple doing this huge favor and saving lives (apparently many house fires and fried ipads occurred with aftermarket chargers and the media forgot to report it, ever), rather than just a shameless money-grab. Some dystopia in another timeline wishes they had Apple’s pr team.
iphone 4s here, and I thought I was still running 5.0, but apparently it updated to 6.0 without my knowledge. Not gonna update to 7 until my daughter can make sure I’ve backed everything up properly…it keeps telling me I have no storage space left but I bought cloud space! Until I’m absolutely certain all the baby pictures are safe…
Still using my first-gen iPad most of the time (like, ATM), so “stuck” on five-something. I have a mini on the latest, but I want to get MMW out of this one.
I am kind of on the skeuomorphic fence. I used Mac OS 4~6 for quite a few years – about as flat as a GUI could get and still look OK – and when I got to the later, pretty systems, I found the shading and stuff kind of stupid and annoying. In fact, for a few years on OS X, I was using an alternate theme that looked a bit like parchment and made everything pretty flat. But the implementation of iOS 7 kind of, umm, falls flat. It has become increasingly difficult to see at a glance where you can/should tap to do what you want to do. The UI elements have just become to elegantly understated (not to mention that they are using blues and reds with very thin lines on white). Maybe iOS 8 will correct the poor choices made for 7.
