Why would they need your address when they can just use technology to pinpoint your exact location? Silly mech

The colours of the new interface are fairly subdued, in use it's actually a lot less colourful and obnoxious than iOS6. The whole thing really just gets the fuck out of your way a lot more.

You'll like it.

GPS, phone number, front facing camera and now finger prints. All we need is a dna sample. Combine that with Apple ids, facebook ids on phones and search history, you can build very detailed profiles of people, NSA's wet dream come true.

With all the NSA leaks/news, I don't think it's wacky or far fetched. It's actually worse for non US citizens since the NSA doesn't need warrants to spy/collect information on individuals.

My iPad 2 will be our last iOS device, work phone is gone in two weeks. I just find streaming video to be much better on the iPad :(

Just a heads up, my 4s and third gen iPad are draining battery slightly more than ios6. That's during usage and on standby. It's not a big difference but it's definitely there.

Cheers, I actually had a chance to try it out on another phone and it seems good to go.

Loving iOS7 on the iPad. Also, "By The Seaside" is the fucking funniest ringtone ever.

iPhone 4s here and the update is a lot faster for me.

Battery seems to be draining faster too though.

So who got an iPhone 6?

I got the 128gb one. Finally enough space to store all my music.

My wife has a 5, i.e. pretty much the same as the 5C, and still loves it. I did have second thoughts on upgrading tbh - the 5 is "good enough" as phones go. But this way I get a much better spare / unlocked phone, way more space, and I'm actually looking forward to the bigger screen, surprisingly.

iOS 8 is really nice, though I think they need a few point releases to work out the kinks.
