IOS 7

[GS WAX]

Without wanting to sound childish and contradicting myself...I phukin hate it with a passion on my 4,jerky,slow,poor contrast,visually impared and looks cheap, its fine if your fifteen ....

What a total con job by apple,nowhere did it say I couldn't go back to os6 before curiosity got the better of me, my only option is another phone now,going to shops tomorrow,taking an ios6 iphone whatever number and walking out,phuking arrest me  I don't give a sh*te,apple can pay for it on my behalf.

Let you know how I get on from jail

A pain to do though...  Below is a C_P from the above link but it sums it up...

If you're an experienced jailbreaker, you may well have previously saved your "SHSH blobs"—a technical term for the saved signatures used for verifying that a version of iOS can run on a particular device. If so, those saved signatures might work now to greenlight a downgrade back to iOS 6. But it's not guaranteed to work, and it only applies to the iPhone 4, which has an older processor. (The security routines in the processor may make a difference.)

So all those months in beta and they've had 2 updates in a week!

Well im not in jail

Didn't get out to shops, asked a few people a few questions and got some differing answers, hopefully you guys can help please.

Has anyone had their phone update itself automatically ?couple of people say theirs have,but didn't say wether it was the operating system aswell.

If I back up my current ios7 iphone4 to icloun/itunes when I come to restore back onto an ios6 phone will it update to ios7 aswell?

and finally, its more than likely I will get an ios6 enabled iphone 5 to use and never update,  (and keep my 4 in the family to monitor the changes with ios7), can anyone think of anything that may go wrong that might compromise my use of ios6?

If you are jailbroken, then the OTA update is disabled  so you can't  do an accidental update it to iOS 7, you have to do a DFU update:)

No it won't update the phone to iOS 7 from the backup

If you never update, then at some point you will find that the latest version of Apps won't be available for you they will be only available for iOS 7

The jailbreak for 7 should be out early next year, if Winterboard is updated then you should be able to theme iOS 7 back to 6 - this is what I'm waiting for, I'm happy to stick on a jailbroken iOS 6 phone and wait for the jailbreak and theme the arse out of it

The tracking can be turned off with the phone locked and in the hands of the thief , hence the problem

Correct. It's not a new problem though.

You can turn the phone off without a pass code.
