Loving the new iOS 7. Of course there's plenty of people here who dislike the update and couldn't wait to crap all over it
That's unfair…. A little insulting too.
I haven't found anything I dislike since my initial gripes so I'm relieved my "iceberg" statement has proven so far to be false.

You mean from multitasking? I kinda dig that. Getting used to the zoom and kind of liking it for folders. There are some weird animations and sometimes it takes parallax a second to work, which destroys the illusion. Also noticed the time wasn't showing in the header when I was on a call. That would be a regression or a bug at least. The worst part is I think the battery really suffers. Had mine replaced last week, so I'm using a fresh battery for comparison and it seems at least 10% harder on a battery that already isn't great. That may be generous. I'm guessing ways of turning off features to optimize battery will emerge and I have a few I'll try.
It's worth updating for sure, whatever misgivings I have in a few areas. Even worth the cost of battery life if I can't fix that.

The only feature change I don't like is how to close the apps that are open
That's one of my favorite new features. It somehow feels way more organic and less tedious. The new look does make some apps seem outdated…tapatalk, I'm talking to you.

It's interesting that the modal dialogs will look new in old apps, but not the keyboard. I had assumed that was a system element that would automatically be the iOS 7 keyboard, guess not. I think that would help make legacy apps feel newer, but I'm sure there a good reason for it.

Hmm, I guess I should upgrade from iOS5 on my 4…

No question

Definitely upgrade. For the most part iOS7 is exactly what I've been looking for. The multi tasker, pull down spotlight, cleaner lock screen, and most of all the control center are great IMO. That was all functionality I had jailbroken my phone to get, but 7 convinced me to go back to a stock OS, and I'm happy with the decision.
My only real gripes are with the animations and the notification center. The animations could be a bit quicker/snappier. On my 4S, the make the OS feel a bit sluggish at times. I also wish the notification center would let you collapse notifications of the same app, but that's just being nit picky…

2.9gb is a bit steep for me on a 16gb phone… I'll be sticking with os6 for now.

Looks like I'm one of the lucky few who got the 'Push Notifications' bug - continual pop up in some apps (e.g., Newsstand) telling user to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications.
If you get it, looks like Restore from Backup is the fix.

Yesterday I fucking hated it, today I'm liking it.
Obstacles are stepping-stones
That guide us to our goals. Fences are filters That purify our souls. -
It grows, but some of the animations are just weird to me and I will never like the iconography and palette. But those aren't that big a deal.

iOS 7 is growing on me. Tapatalk is now an abomination.

Anyone else not seeing weather in notification center? Two of is stateside have this issue and no way to fix it.
-
I'm seeing weather on my iPad (official ios7 release), but not my iPhone (pre-release hack of final version).
-
I was seeing the weather last night right after I upgraded. It's not there this morning.
-
It looks from screen shots like the weather is textual instead of graphical. That's a bad idea IMO. At this point I would take it though.
-
I'm still just getting the date and the stock ticker (I turned the calendar view off). No weather info.
-
I don't mind textual weather, but for Canada I've always found the Weather Network app better than the Yahoo feed that Apple uses.
Had to restore my iPad to factory to fix the Push Notifications issue. Irritating, because my home computer is so f'd that I had to bring it to work to do it there.
White plastic Macbooks do not last forever.

Picked up a 5s in my lunch break today. Line was deceptively longer than it looked. Snaked around the block then 3 different queues inside the Apple Store. Got heckled at a few times by people touting Nokia and Samsungs (lol).
Coming from a 4s it's a beautiful step up. The Touch ID works awesomely working 1st time nearly every time, and the habit is already ingrained after a few hours.
I don't really use Notification Center, but am enjoying Control Center a lot (another reason for the purchase).
All apps transferred across flawlessly, as expected, but always nice.
I'll try get some photos out from/of it tomorrow.
1st impressions tho is a great upgrade. So much clearer/cleaner.
