    The phone's create their own adhoc wifi network and transfer data that way, you don't need a router.

    Hopefully there's an option to disable automatic updates for specific apps. Some developers simply can't be trusted with this. (Can anyone with the beta confirm?)

    With iCloud Keychain, Apple have once again rendered a popular third party app redundant for most users. But I'm glad. 1Password have been milking their customers of late. The app never worked too well on iOS anyway and the latest version is ghastly looking.

    I can definitely find an option to turn Automatic Updated Off/On, don't see anything to do that at the individual App level though.

    I do feel a bit sorry for 1Password, I've been using it across a few machines/devices and found it really useful.

    The problem with NFC is that you have to be NEAR ... with wifi you don't.

    NFC is a waste of time and resources until NFC starts to be used somewhere useful.

    Hardly a wast of time..

    Lack of Safari integration made using those password apps a bit of a pain to use - (Dashlane anyway).

    After sleeping on it, I still dont like the icons, the music app takes longer for me to play an album, through the artist page. Some of the bottom tab bar icons have text in apps while others dont. It's very inconsistant, but again its Beta 1.

    Yes you can turn off auto updates, but not for specific apps.

    The title of that article should be 'What could you potentially do with NFC if it were implemented anywhere'.

    NFC could be really useful, if it ever becomes widespread enough.

    I only bought it while it was half price a few days ago. It's a good app, and I still think it will be useful for storing passwords for other things, laptop login info, bank account numbers etc. It just won't be as useful.

    Also I thought the whole point of Airdrop is it creates its own Wifi Network. I actually did see a mention of Hotspot 2.0 on one of the keynote slides too, not sure if that has something to do with Airdrop.

    NFC be damned so... :D

    Ah put ios7 on my iPhone today at lunchtime. Running very smoothly & it's a very nice update. I've encountered no problems so far but I haven't tried to use every app on me phone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,298 ✭✭✭Duggys Housemate


    I bet Apple will add NFC sometime, maybe this year. There is always a feature of the OS which runs on new machines only.

    It's used elsewhere. Just not here unfortunately.

    To say it's a waste of time just shows a lack knowledge about it.

    I fully understand the uses and benefits of NFC, hence the NFC kit sitting about 14" away from my left elbow.

    Despite the fact I didn't say NFC was a waste of time (quite the opposite in fact), by your own admission it's not used here which does somewhat diminish its utility.

    Now this, this I like. Icons reined in.

    What is that? The one on the left looks miles nicer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭danger mouse


    That's actually a .dmg file?? I just downloaded it now.



    Taking me 8 hours to download it? Anymore links?

    Its a mockup from a designer. The one on the right is the current ios7 look.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭symbolic


    I think the iOS redesign is very nice. It's been a bit quiet in this forum lately! Looking forward to seeing how it looks on the iPad.

    Great to see how Haswell is effecting battery life on the Airs as Apple are quite honest about battery life as far as I've seen. Good work out of Intel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,359 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    Anyone with iOS 7 installed got any opinions? How is it running, are apps crashing? Any major glitches or effect on battery life?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭fifth


    Love the redesign. That mockup above - I can see inset style icons and shadows creeping back in. This is not what iOS 7 is about. Reading the developer guidelines this morning they want the UI to be 'unobtrusive' and not compete with the content of what's on screen.

    It's not about the design / how it looks but more how it enables the OS to function better by stripping away unecessary detail.

    Yeah I seen your post but now it's almost a full day later I wanted a more comprehensive review. I haven't even seen much in terms of in depth videos online. I've a feeling they're uploading over today. Checked earlier and couldn't get much. Love to have a spare device to try it on.

    running on a 4s. some teething problems restoring from back up, but seems to be fine now. apps havent crashed yet, but i havent tried them all. clock icon is now live, which is nice.

    When swipe to unlock, the shortcuts appear, how do I get to homescreen

    AM having to click calculator and close it to then I get homescreen

    Any ideas ?

    Ah....stupid...got it

    However , live clock is an hour behind...and reboot fixed it

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    swipe from left to right like you normally do. theres just no indicator to tell you what to do now..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    It'll be interesting to see how secure the new re-activation feature is. If it's as good as it sounds, then thieves will have far harder time shifting stolen iPhones. Their only option will be to sell them for spare parts.

    What's the story with stolen phones at the moment? Am i right in thinking the thieves get around the blocking by the networks after it is reported stolen by shipping them abroad where the blocking doesn't work? Is that right?

    So lets just say your not a Dev and you download iOS 7 and install it on your phone. Then when beta 2 comes around and the first beta expires what happens then? Is it as easy as an over the air update?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,517 ✭✭✭✭guil


    Love the fact that they added the feature to block contact from certain contacts, its in settings in phone, messages and facetime

    That's where I got mine from and not one will work (even though one of my iPhones IS registered).

    Running well on my iPhone 5, have not tried every app but all the usuals are working fine for me....Twitter, Messages, Mail, App Store, FaceTime, Photos. The more I use me phone the more I appreciate this update, very very slick & smooth.

    Love this feature too, have a telesales number that keeps ringing me....so I added the number into my contacts & they are on the Block List.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,085 ✭✭✭OU812


    Does that block feature give you notification that it's working ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭Gorilla Rising


    Installed it just now. Straight forward, no problems.

    I really like the new icons!

    Great addition, the mentioned iMessage and FaceTime, but not phone in the keynote, delighted that is across everything.

    can anyone with a 4s confirm that control centre in landscape mode isnt working?

    So just updated my iPhone 5 bill pay on O2 using the link guil provided and worked no problem at all. Has actually made some apps that I found slow at loading to load quicker.
    The file took just over an hour to download using chrome on 12mb line. Started slow and sped up as progressed. With iPhone connected to iTunes, just held down tab and clicked software update, then selected the file from download folder. Update process took about 10 mins.
    Found I needed to cancel down the apps that were running in the backround for some to open ie Netflix. Loving it so far, now time to play!
    Cancelling down apps just reminded me of web os hp had on the palm pre and touchpad


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭a1000pigeons


    Jelly SMS not working for me, anyone else had this problem? Seems a little sluggish too, although I'm on iPhone 4 and this was becoming the case with iOS 6 also. An annoying bug surfaced earlier too whereby I had to quit an app to answer a call. Though I'm liking it for the most part these might be the deal breakers for switching back to iOS 6 for now until it becomes more stable (and I upgrade my phone).

    Some of the development team who worked on web os now work for Apple.

    So tempted to try the new update. Think ill give it a go.

    EDIT: Currently downloading from Mega. On UPC 30MB and it's pretty fast. Getting an estimate of around 10 minutes for the download to complete. Weird that people are finding it slow. I'm forced to use Chrome too.

    First 24 hours probably had most people downloading it. So maybe it's all quiet now. iPhone 5 currently updating to iOS 7.
