    I view iOS 7 as another good opportunity to weed out the good developers from the bad. The good ones will update their apps to take advantage of the new OS, the bad ones will continue to use the same crappy cross-platform UI that they use in their Android apps. In meantime new developers can jump in and steel their users, who (in the absence of upgrade pricing) have nothing tying them to the previous apps.

    have been running the GM for a day or so now. smooth and no crashing in any app only for TuneIn. some times it crases a fair few times on version 4.1

    cannot find playback for rte2fm no harm there but the stream is dead.

    Overall a good improvement to the look and feel from my part and as I am in the middle of app dev i can not look to take advantage of some new API's and dev the app according to this.

    thumbs up from me.

    Yeah TuneIn keeps crashing for me too.

    I used to have a scrolling issue in Facebook where when I tried to scroll it either wouldn't or bring up some random image! All seems to be good now!

    Are the Adverts and eBay apps still crashing?

    The last beta was very buggy on iPhone 4. Haven't noticed any issues with the GM.

    However, on iPad, I've noticed today (and had it confirmed by others) that I cannot switch from photo to video within camera.app.

    Further to my previous post, I note the exact same bug in Camera.app on an iPhone 4 as on iPad.

    I notice in Camera.app that "burst mode" is working on my iPhone 4 despite information to the contrary on other sites.

    Also, the rocker volume switch on my iPad is taking photos when pressed in either direction -was this always the case?

    Apple are already testing iOS 7.0.1, 7.0.2 & 7.1 updates. The two first updates will probably be bugfixes but i'm hoping for new functionality with the 7.1 updates.

    That's been the case since about iOS 4 or 5

    Restored to the GM lastnight on my 4. Liking it a lot - it's very slick and much cleaner looking. Running pretty well with no crashes as of yet, apps stable and performing as good (or better) than before.

    I just wish I knew beforehand that I needed a version of iTunes that doesn't exist yet for windows to sync music :(

    Unless they release another GM (extremely unlikely at this late stage), the current GM is final and you won't need to update.

    How's it performing on the iPhone 4/4s for anyone here? Any lag or sluggishness?

    Performing excellent on my iPhone 4. The other Beta's were fair laggy and had loads of bugs but this one seems very stable and no lag at all, love it!

    Perfect on my iPhone 4 except for a couple of bugs.

    I hope they do something because there is a major bug in that the camera is only shooting stills and not able to toggle to video. While others here have stated that it is working for them, I have two devices here in which this is present and have contacted others who have installed this GM and they are reporting the exact same problem

    Not having this issue either, so I assume it only affects certain devices, in which case it'll probably be fixed in 6.0.1. They'd only release a second GM for a major bug, like the WiFi problem in the 4.2 GM.

    Well, iPad 4 is a pretty significant device. I've just reset all settings and it still isn't working. Oh well, we will see on Weds if the version number differs.

    Just me or did anyone notice the new sounds? They're awesome!

    Like when you plug in the charger, turn the phone off silent, message alert, phone call etc.. Just something small but a lot better than before!

    Yeh I am seeing Burst mode on the 4S, Plus Filters. The camera app got far more than expected.

    I am also, nearly positive you could only use the plus button to take pics. Now you can use both.
