Does ios 7 increase/decrease battery life at all? Im think ill stick to ios6 unless there are added features in 7

Apart from radio what else does it add? I guess there is an unofficial page with added features somewhere

if you're that bothered wait a month until it's released properly and you don't really much of a choice about changing.

I tried upgrading a few weeks ago and it didn't work. Think they fixed the loophole everyone was exploiting by then. Any official release date yet? We looking at October?

Given the half confirmation of an iPhone event on the 10th of September I'd expect the 19th of September, its normally about a 9 day gap between announcement and release.

Then new devices on the 20th.

sounds about right

i got my iphone 5 on the 21st sept last year

Cool...not long to go then. I've just signed up to the developer program anyway for another matter so will get the beta now. If my account activation would work!

Will probably just sell my iphone 5 and get a 5s, luckily I've just been given a brand new 5 as my old one top button broke, so I should get an excellent price for this.

I had my iPhone 5 32GB replaced with a new iPhone 5 GB by Apple upon my most recent visit to the store with a problem, I'll be buying the new iPhone and selling on my iPhone 5.

I'm not sure how much to ask for, I think I'll donate it to my brother or look for around £300.

I'm really looking forward to the new iPhone and the new operating system

With beta5 finding my battery life better than the last 6.1.4? update. Still int where it used to be.

Beta 6 is now out. Just installed it. Pages and apps seem to open a lot faster not noticed much else different.

Some people are reporting an issue with music library missing files. There is a fix for it over on Macromours. I've not got the issue but it seems to be if people are using iTunes match.

Thanks for the heads up, it's only 13.5mb delta update too.

Bit of a stupid question if I install IOS7 on my iphone 5 will I have to reinstall all of my apps or will it go onto the phone keeping them all intact?

Cheers all

Tute · 16 Aug 2013 at 23:13

I got given the choice in iTunes - upgrade or restore. I chose to upgrade and it kept all my apps and settings.

roman59 · 16 Aug 2013 at 23:35

Many thanks much appreciated

Cheers

I have found that Safari is crashing a little more since Beta 6, before that i'd had little issue with it.

Other than that it's shaping up into a nice OS, and most of my apps are working well now.

Mull3t · 17 Aug 2013 at 13:44

Are all apps compatible with the beta? I.e, whatsapp, spotify, Facebook etc

Housey · 17 Aug 2013 at 19:14

Does IOS7 work on an iPhone 4 and is the only (legal) way to access it via the Apple Development approach? I am considering signing up to gain access to it and to see if I can produce some apps but it's been 25 years since I last programmed, I suspect it's moved on somewhat since Cobol and BASIC.

Bigpig · 17 Aug 2013 at 20:16

I tricked my phone into installing beta 5 is 6 alright to download via settings?

HarryPainful · 17 Aug 2013 at 20:43

Can anyone confirm if you can attach a file to an email on IOS7?

Not go in to a file and then share it though email, a real, attachment, preferable from dropbox.

Beta 6 just hit my phone

Edit: Wow I'm slow. Out on Thursday
