    I installed this on my iPhone 4. The animations are slow and the screen transitions jerk. The apps themselves aren't as snappy as before. iOS 7 might look fresh but it feels terrible on older Apple devices.

    I'm considering downgrading.

    Also, why didn't they update the Podcast app?

    Apple are no longer signing iOS 6 so if you plan on downgrading the normal way you won't be able to.

    Apple still have a fair few apps to update for iOS 7, the iLife and iWork suite still have the old designs as well as others such as iBooks and Remote.

    Safari crashes on my iPad 2 every time I try to play an imbedded YouTube clip on boards. Does this happen to anybody else?

    My iphone 5 has stopped working now with any charger, tried a few different car chargers and different wall chargers but everyone of them say accessory may not be supported. Only started this morning and the same after a fresh restore.

    I contacted apple through their live chat and they are gonna send out the box and envelope.
    Apple have blocked using 3rd party cables to charge:

    Could this be due to the recent user in Asia who was electrocuted was using a 3rd party cable?

    Let's see: disable third party chargers because they are exploding and electrocuting people who then try to sue you, or disable them just to be evil?

    Apple already offer a replacement programme for third party chargers and they are generally pretty good about replacing faulty official ones.

    That's exactly it. The cable is not just a cable. I am delighted that Apple have restricted use to their own cable. Using cheap sh!t will inevitably lead to Sh!t outcomes. The iPhone is a 700 quid product. Only a scab tries to save a few quid on an important cable.

    Not sure what the situation is with the new Lightning charger cables but the reason I use a Belkin cable for my iPhone 4 is because it is of far superior quality. My Apple cable failed after 9 months.

    Ahh I wouldn't call them a scab, just cost-minded. Usually with cables there is no point in buying expensive versions of readily available cables. Lightening is sort of different, kind of wish that they would open it up to drive the price lower.

    Rip off cable that always seems to work and doesn't kill people.

    Remember when that happened all the media said that girl was killed by Apple iPhone. No mention of the brand of cheap cable.

    I'm finding battery life amazing with iOS 7. Had 21% battery today and checked usage. Standby - 1 Day 9 Hours, Usage 6.5 hours. That's brilliant. I could of easily gotten to 36 hours with the remaining battery. I'm getting over a day with regular use.

    Haven't really noticed any major changes in battery life since the upgrade to iOS 7. I had assumed that the dynamic wallpaper in particular might have some effect on the battery life but nothing major to report with it so far anyway.

    Quite the opposite with me on a 4S. I would be down to around 10% battery by 5:00pm. It's now 10:00pm and I have 20% left.

    I'm using a 4S too. I also found though that I had to reset some of my settings that would have been using extra battery life after the install. Have you double-checked all your notifications etc?

    I've a 4S also and I've also noticed that battery life is very much improved. Now I have background app refresh off also which I would suspect helps a lot.

    Is it possible to revert to
    iOS 6 on an iPhone4? I'm sorry I updated to it as I used to love my 4 but its rubbish now, rubbish childish graphics, slower, worse battery life. I can't find one positive thing to say about it.

    Apple have stopped signing iOS 6 I believe, so unless you had the SHSH blobs saved, no.

    It's only a few shillings worth of electronics out of Flexcomm in China ~ Apple charge 700 dollars for the USA made operating system. :)

    It was only turned on with the actual release. The fact that your original cable isn't working suggests there could be a deeper issue. Have you borrowed an official Apple cable from someone to try? If that doesn't work I'd be ringing Apple.
