It's the same old faggotry, probably the biggest "innovation" is gonna be a new icon design.

Ipad 2 installed on today. I like the overall feel and response. Didn't really want to give up my jailbreak, but the new OS seemed worth trying.

Kids edition? When jailbroken it works every bit as good as my rooted android tablet and phone running 4.3 (Jelly Bean). In some respects its even better. Why do you believe that?

If you have a jailbroken device, do not update it, but if you have a legit one, why won't you update it? Updates bring new fixes and security measures, so even if you think that it is useless, it is better to keep an updated system.

Because they are over priced just to work like a android? They break so easy and cost so much to replace. Look at the iOS 7 design and icons. If it's not designed for kids, who is it designed for? Android is better than iOS in many ways. Once rooted, it is much more customizable than iOS (even jailbroken). You have full control over your device, and it is very fun to play with. The only thing I don't like about Android is that it's a resource whore. Look at the specs required for iOS/Windows Phone to run smoothly and compare it with Android.

They break so easy and cost so much to replace. My Ipad Screen cost $100 to replace after my toddler broke it. My Samsung SII Cost $100 to fix after I bricked it trying to root it. I don't believe Apple products cost more to fix. I would argue they might cost less because there are so many after market parts in production. Also, My Ipad 2 is better built then My Asus Tablet. You can just feel the quality difference. Look at the iOS 7 design and icons. If it's not designed for kids, who is it designed for?
I actually like the new design and feel of IOS 7. (Might be just because I wanted a change However). I have had winterboard and many different themes with my jail broke Ipad. IOS 7 theme feels as good or better than several of the others I have tried. Once IOS 7 is jailbroke I am sure more themes will again be available. Android is better than iOS in many ways. Once rooted, it is much more customizable than iOS (even jailbroken). You have full control over your device, and it is very fun to play with. I am much more ANDROID lover than an apple fan. Open sourced android is more fun and does have more control. But, jailbroken apples are very customizable and do have some advantages. For example, I love pandora downloader for IOS. Android does not have any equivalent app near as good. The app allows me to "rip" a song being played and save it right to the internal memory. All of the Android ones that attempt to offer the same compatibility fail miserably. Another advantage to IOS is they support the devices with software updates for 3-4 years. Android device manufacturers are lucky to give any software updates more than a year later. (Good thing Rooted phones can get more android updates) I have both IOS and Android devices and like each one for different reasons. I like android for the "Power User" reason and feel. Changing roms and customizing at the system level is nice. And being opensource means the developer community is much larger. But a closed source IOS with simplicity like Apple does appeal to some. I am glad we have manufactures competing for our business. Gives us more (and better) products to choose from. Apple has had good products. Now the question is, has anyone tried a Microsoft tablet?

I've had ios7 beta for about 3 months now and I have to say.. finally... Before the official announcement of ios7 months ago, I was really hoping Apple would depart from the skeuomorphic interface style. I can really appreciate what they did because as a designer myself, I actually made the difficult choice of steering away from skeuomorphism to a more flat and uncluttered style about 2 years ago now and was only waiting on Apple to do it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Because they are over priced just to work like a android? They break so easy and cost so much to replace. overpriced? consider the fact that android is just a big key logger on an OS level so to speak. Everything you do on it, they store that information. What price do you put on privacy? Why do you think the android OS is free... google makes money through the collection of personal information. I'm not saying apple didn't leave backdoors for spying agencies, but for google its a whole new level. Also Apple actually spends time on external and OS design. Most of the android phones are hard to look at (i guess if you're one of those people that puts on an even uglier cases over it, doesn't matter then ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) ). The OS is just awful.. everything is crooked and not polished etc etc

I would argue they might cost less because there are so many after market parts in production. Also, My Ipad 2 is better built then My Asus Tablet. You can just feel the quality difference. There is a wider variety of Android products than Apple. $100 Android tablets exist, while you wouldn't normally find a brand new iPad for $100. But yes, the quality, and specs are different. I actually like the new design and feel of IOS 7. (Might be just because I wanted a change However). I have had winterboard and many different themes with my jail broke Ipad. IOS 7 theme feels as good or better than several of the others I have tried. Once IOS 7 is jailbroke I am sure more themes will again be available. Android gives you a lot of choice in terms of customization. You can download launchers, widgets, themes, icons and so on from the Google Play store. The iOS store does not sell any of these, so there are really not many good designers making iOS designs. I am much more ANDROID lover than an apple fan. Open sourced android is more fun and does have more control. But, jailbroken apples are very customizable and do have some advantages. For example, I love pandora downloader for IOS. Android does not have any equivalent app near as good. The app allows me to "rip" a song being played and save it right to the internal memory.

Gives us more (and better) products to choose from. Apple has had good products. Now the question is, has anyone tried a Microsoft tablet? IMO Apple is great for the average user. Even cydia tweaks are simple to setup and use. Android is better for people who want to play with their devices more (which makes it better than iOS).

The old iOS has that already.

The old iOS has that already. Is that the thing where you double click the home button to see recent apps and remove them? I actually like that more than Android's task management system.

Updates bring new fixes and security measures, so even if you think that it is useless, it is better to keep an updated system. Good Point. I just updated mine and you guys are right.. the layout design looks a bit childish! The materials in most of my apps are got bigger and I sort of appreciate that, but still, it just looks silly. I do like the new lock screen though! And how you swipe up to close out of running apps instead of pressing the 'x' buttons. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) for an improved concept. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) for the unprofessional design.

Interesting fact: The old '3d look' of IO6 was changed because the head of IOS Scott Forstall got P45'd and the new head of IOS Jony Ive wanted to implement his 'own design'. I personally haven't used IOS7 yet and in two minds at the moment whether to update or not. Eventually, I'll be forced to update though because all the apps will naturally update their designs to match 7 and will make 6 feel outdated. I am a big fan of IOS6 for sure but its becoming history as we speak. So in a nutshell, don't want to use IOS7, looks like a step backwards, but will have to eventually.
