iOS 7 Available in AU
I just updated this morning, straight to my phone (on WiFi).
Liking it thus far, definitely good to have pull down access to stuff from the lock screen. No issues yet! |

about time.
I've had a gazillion apps wanting to update for "Compatibility for iOS7" did it take long? |

Yeah, started it at 5.45 on my way to squash, when I finished at 7 it still wasn't done.
There were issues with it validating I think, it had an error saying couldn't verify or something. Took about 5 tries for it to validate it, then 5 minutes to install. |

yeah took me 45mins using the computer as i had beta and wouldnt let me update over wi-fi. 1.24gb file 20min download but vaildating can take a while as apple servers are getting smashed. Have had it since beta 1 and been loving it!

when i go into Software Update, it says "iOS 6.1.3 Your software is up to date"
wtf? |

Yeah, weird, my bro couldn't get it either.
I'm Telstra, downloaded it at home on TPG ADSL. Dunno what the rhyme or reason is to their staged rollout |

just gone back in and it's come up. going to try now.
I'm on Telstra. |

if you're looking for the new iTunes radio tab in the music app i've just discovered it's only US at the moment. (after frustratingly searching for it to try)
why do they do that? |

Updating girlfriends phone now, see what is what. In somewhat related discussion, how hard is it to replace a iPhone 4 screen? Accidentally dropped her phone on the floor and it broke but didn't shatter so still somewhat usable. Was quoted $80 from one of those small phone case stores at Indro shops but checked Ebay and the kits are ~$35 so wondering if I can just do it myself.

works perfectly for me. There's couple options which are better on ios6 than 7

I'd have thought you'd be used to things not working on that phone by now. HEYO! i giggled. |

Does this update give the phones the ability for drop and drag from your PC and more freedom?
|

It's a good update, the Airdrop works well.
I still hear people moaning about the lack of NFC. Apple would have put it in by now if they wanted it in. They are following a different path which is bluetooth/wifi for phone communication and Airdrop demonstrates this. |
09:18pm 19/09/13 Permalink
Hmm, got an unknown update error (6), caused the phone to go into recovery mode. Good ol' Apple!

It's a good update, the Airdrop works well But no Air Drop for earlier versions of iPad. I've got an iPad 2 but it's only for retina display and newer. |

Doesn't seem to work on my Lumia 920, help please? GRD3 is coming very soon. And no I dont know what GRD3 stands for except windows phone update. I have the latest ipad, does that get it or just phones? |

I updated my iPhone 4 this morning, loving iOS7.

cliff notes on airdrop?
Not a fan of folder structuring with only 3x3 layout and not 4x4 means more scrolling and time wasting. I like how you can access music player even when phone is locked, also a fan of sliding upwards to get into settings. |

Notes is syncing with exchange too, I don't think it used to do that?
|
09:29am 20/09/13 Permalink
I'm an Apple fan, and I like the new features iOS7 brings. But the graphical style just doesn't look like it's going to hold up well. I think years later I will look back on it like a mullet or a tie die shirt.

My phones just hangs/hunting for wether theres an up date.

Notes is syncing with exchange too, I don't think it used to do that? Nah, definitely didn't, I use to have to get people to install an app called iMExchange2 to get that functionality though the app was a little buggy. |
02:50pm 20/09/13 Permalink
I like the up swipe and the amount of features accessible from there. Also liking Safari.
Getting used to the grey background on the app folders. Also like the flow between open apps when you double tap the home button. |

I'd have thought you'd be used to things not working on that phone by now. HEYO! I lol'd, my housemate would be the sorta guy who'd get firey about this sorta statement. I'd call him to tell him about it, but his phone would reject my call (or simply not receive any SMS I'd sent). He's usin a HTC one and by his own admission 'my handset problems are a result of the 'daily' type builds I'm using. (as far as I'm concerned, running unstable-as-f*** daily builds at the expense of your handsets reliability, regardless of your choice in the matter, still just makes your handset a POS in the grand scheme of things). Eorl, There's a place in the ACT that handles iphone repairs and does a complete screen and digitiser replacement for $100-120. Whilst there's a little expense there, if its a recent handset, the 'guarantee' that it'll work gives me peace of mind. (Not that I couldn't do the disassembly/reassembly, moreso that I need my handset to be as reliable as I can make it.) This place is similar, but is listed in Hobart. If you can source the Digitiser WITH the screen, there's a little more overhead, but the digitiser is the painful bit to replace. (in much the same way that 'contact' or screen protectors can be to do without air pockets etc) |

This update has sorta broken Spotify support on my Fords iPod dock. It still plays music and lets me skip tracks but doesn't update the artist info after the first song :(

I'd call him to tell him about it, but his phone would reject my call (or simply not receive any SMS I'd sent).I would more blame the carrier. I'm on a stock ROM, so is my brother, so is my boss and we all have different phones (2 android, one IOS) and all of us experience delayed messages, sometimes up to a few DAYS late. I'll get messages at like 4 in the morning, yell at my brother and he'll be like wtf I sent that friday afternoon |

There's a known issue with sending SMS if you've been a previous iPhone user using iMessage and have changed platforms, kept the same number, but not deregistered off the iMessage system.
Something to do with Apple servers. http://www.imore.com/imessage-bug-time-easy-fix http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/184374-imessage-issues-after-switching-iphone-android.html |

Just upgraded my 4s. This will take a bit of getting use to, things feel kind of cramped which i would imagine won't be so much an issue on a 5/5s/5c given there's a bit more screen real estate.

03:36pm 22/09/13 Permalink
nope, me and my brother have always been on android.

Just saw this on a mates phone. It looks like my Galaxy S3 OS but you don't have the freedoms or functionality of an android phone still.

Good thing the whole world isn't using the one s***** phone or we'd be f***ed.

Yeah alot of features my android has already, Apple just seem to be chasing the crowd lately has their lack of innovation died with Jobs?
I'll update my wifes iPhone 4 to ios7 when we land back in the country and have a play around with it, her contract ends at the end of the month she is tossing up between the new iPhone 5S or the HTC One/Mini so I guess she might like the new ios since it have the same functions just the lack of freedom. |

So, AirDrop is incompatible between iOS7 and OS X. Is OS X still the latest mac OS?
NFC is an actual ISO/IEC standard, I can see why Apple wouldn't use it. The only reason they're using the stock as a rock 2.4Ghz wifi and not something proprietary is simply because wifi got there first. |

Is OS X still the latest mac OS? OS X Is like, the general name of the OS since Apple moved to a Unix based OS 10+ years ago. As in OS 10 the successor to Mac OS 9. 10.8 Mountain Lion is the current version with 10.9 Mavericks out at the end of the month. It's pretty crazy they wouldn't try and get them working together. |

still cant get this update to detect over wifi.
