IOS 7 update for iPad, iPhone, and iPod
I didn't wait. I updated to IOS 7 for my iPhone, iPod and iPad. Was it worth it?
Probably. Maybe the best feature so far is that even when I leave several apps open, IOS 7 sees to it they do not drain the battery. That is especially nice for my iPhone. Driving across country it is tempting to leave the Starbucks app, the Google Maps app, my Notes app, and Evernote all open. It is not smart, or was not when I had IOS 6. Now -- it's O.K.
Drawbacks:
You have to learn a few new swiping skills.
Down from the top for Notifications
Down from the almost top for the search feature
Double click on the HOME button and then swipe UP to close an app. And that doesn't always work the first time!
For me, those are the major changes. I mostly like the new font and the new look. I like the fact that I can group more apps per "folder" on the screen. I enjoyed playing with the compass and level (swipe down from the almost top to get the Search box and type "Compass" to find it).
I don't like the new camera icon, but I use Camera! Awesome more often so it's not a big deal.
