iOS7 and War Crimes

How’s that for a headline? First off, this is not going to be a bashing of iOS7 where I childishly compare it to an actual world problem.

No, I’m going to group two seemingly unrelated topics and then join them together in the end as if by magic. So let’s dig in.

Best. Headline. EVAH!

On the experience of using iOS7, something that's been really bothering me is the keyboard. For some reason it's so white, bright and spacious I keep fucking up while typing, it just isn't as simple to judge taps as it was before...either that or the almost garish feel of iOS7 is just too damn distracting.

I've found the opposite, love the new keyboard (still making about the same amount of mistakes as before, though) and finding it a pain in the arse going from the new keyboard in the updated apps and the old style keyboard in apps that have yet to update to iOS 7. Would still like the comma to be on the first keyboard, though.

Weird. I could almost touch type on the old one...this one is odd.

Curious thought.

Imagine a museum: you stand in front of a painting and you get detailed information of each picture, right on your phone or a tablet you rent in the museum. Every painting could have its own beacon.

Yes, I'm finding the same thing. Not sure if it's the change in colour... It almost feels like the keys are closer together - also getting the same feeling about icons on the home screen - presumably they are not, it's just a result of the change in design.

What about inverting colours in accessibility?

Nah that won't work either because the. EVERYTHING gets inverted and that does my head in too

 

[aqua]

Winot thanks for the cal suggestion, that's ace x

Is it not that the space bar is smaller? I noticed I kept hitting the full stop earlier.

But typing this in tapatalk it seems it's a different keyboard

I've noticed that phone apps on the ipad are now full screen and they look slightly better than using the 2x option on older ios.

Annoyingly the non-apple charging cable I have now pops up an alert saying it's incompatible, although it still seems to be working

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Eh?

Note 3 thread.

Btw I agree.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Hmm. I dont think I will update my phone (iphone 4) as I like my bdark background and get sore eyes when it is really bright. Is this update for the ipad too? I might update one my boy's ipod, see if i like it and then decide whether to change my ipad. I can't see any revolutionary feature though, not sure its worth the bother.

No,I don't get how that relates to just saying that they're putting a comms plan into play to distract from possible bad sales.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Looks like the iOS controllers are coming:

Its great. So many features and touches that make the whole experience way better. iOS6 had got lots of features but this takes those features and makes them work really well together.

Its a must have download.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Not on a 4, I reckon it'd be a sluggish at best.

The one phone app I've got on my ipad (mixcloud) is exactly the same as it used to be

This week also saw images of an iPad being utilised by Syrian rebels.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Need to fire rockets at your enemy? There's an app for that...

 

[Callum91]

He's probably just playing Angry Birds whilst his pal get's more mortar rounds.

The new phone is out today isn't it?

All the phone shops are open...but completely empty?

The Apple effect died along with Steve Jobs. Downhill from here...

 

[mack]

Maybe some people updated their phones with the new os and don't need to upgrade.

I watched that (terrible) Jobs movie the other night..visionary guy and perfectionist.. Can see why Apple seem a bit lost these days.

It's probably something to measure the angle. Like a spirit level.

E2a: like this

iOS7 is rather pleasant. It's different enough that it's like getting a new device.

Maybe they've restricted release to regular phone outlets in the hope of whipping-up a lacklustre queue at their stores.

 

[sim667]

OOooop Ive found the itunes store app to be a bit sketchy.

Downloaded a tune this morning, tried three times, and then it downloaded the wrong one.

So i ended up buying 2 alborosie tunes

It certainly feels novel but not sure how deep that goes tbh.

This sounds like a more feasible explanation of the ''shortage'' to me.

Does anyone have a good link to a spreadsheet with all UK deals?
