So there are security issues with this latest upgrade !

You can turn off iphone tracking software even with the screen locked !

You can access the owners email , accounts and settings with the screen locked too !

Anyone tried it ?

I'm using iOS 7. I don't use email etc on my only iOS device, an iPad2.

The overall style of the new interface looks very slick and stylish but such thin type is very weak and tricky to read in some Apps - Calendar in month view for example.

I am having trouble being able to change the wallpaper size ie it won't let pinch the image to a size I like on my screen

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Thats because of the parallax feature... annoying eh?

I upgraded from 5 to 7 and although it looks flashy, there's annoying little things. Like if you save a pic on your phone from the internet, the iPhone would normally zoom in slightly to maximise screen usage. But you could always pinch and zoom out. In iOS7, it just puts the image away into the gallery.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

From what I've heard about it I'm glad I've only got a 3GS as iOS 7 isn't available for it :grin:

Nothing wrong with it. Just media grabbing on to hype as usual. 80% people don't even use a pin on their device anyway.

Been using iOS 7 since beta 3 through to GM and now 7.0.1 on my iPhone 5S and have no issues with it. Really like the interface improvements.

I think theyve made improvements in certain  areas but they have missed out some part that have been in all previous versions which I dont like. All in all it seems nice and fast, but Im not sold on the look of it yet... Its lost its uniformity!

Few things I don't like are the calendar as it's just difficult to read and the use of the American term 'trash' rather than good old delete, some is a bit change for change sake and as a friend says 'looks a bit fisher price'

This! If this is sorted out in future updates I will be more than happy with it!
