Thoughts how (if) you are using it do you find it ?

device used on etc

I have it on a 4s and a Ipad3 overall quite impressed although panicked at first when I thought I couldn't delete an email without reading it first as swipe to right and delete was gone!!

Love the new close running app window and transition from app to app is sweet!!

Not sure on the look of the new folders but I am sure it can be customized.

Haven't seen anywhere to do it so far.

Like it overall but its more a case of polish and refinement than any kind of fundamental change. I may go Android next time (everyone at work is finally getting off Blackberrys and onto iPhones so I think its time I moved on from iPhone in my capacity as internet nerd-in-chief.)

I thought everything was very bright and colourful, AirDrop is really nice and love the new close running app window.

Nice so far.

It's cleaner, but at the expense of looking like a committee designed it without thinking of the consumer. It's tellytubbyish and makes me think they've just gotten hold of a Surface and said "What can we do to make our product more like that" (Irony - Apple looking at a failed MS product and wanting to be like it...). It's a fucking moronic move by Apple under the hood as it's even more of a cunt to administer multiple devices despite their attempts to improve it. They really are trying to alienate the non-consumer market (Yes, yes, I know it's a consumer, throwaway device) even more than they already have.
Frankly, when I find a way to roll back to 6, I will.

I am the resident nerd at my office too.

I install telephone systems and integrated apps that link smart phones and devices to the pbx's system are my passion so it's great. I need an iPhone to test.... Now I need an android :)

Purely cosmetic so far. The way a picture int he background moves when you change the angle of the phone was freaking me the fuck out. And the bar at the bottom with the Icons is too big to not be see through. I am really hoping I can either make it see through or get rid of it all together. I have no clue why I need a start bar floating icons like on the rest of the phone would look much better.

The battery on my 4s is being destroyed. From 100% to 28% is under 6 hours doing nothing :(

Put it on my iPad 2 yesterday, it looks fucking horrendous if you ask me. No consistency between icon designs, hideous colours, looks like a 4 year old designed it after using Windows 8. Stuff like Control Centre and all the swiping to delete messages would be more impressive if I'd never seen Android.

Basically it's made a toy like device even worse. If you haven't upgraded, stay on 6.

Colour of icons and folders is linked to your background.... It's your hideous color scheme that it is using! ;)

I'm using the standard wallpaper that came wwith the iPad, think it's the water droplets one. Which, if you are correct, makes the colour choices even worse.

Change it and see. It uses the background colors to make the folder colors

I like it, I'm not gay for it, it's a welcome refresh but it does make it even more like an Android handset (no bad thing).

The command center is a welcome addition and I trolled the biggest Android fanboy in the office Friday saying it was nothing like like Android as you slide it up not down :) In truth it should have been introduced a long time ago. Who cares if you add great features from other phones. Everyone dose it.
