it's really pretty, but seems to be a bit of stuttering in some cases on my Verizon 4S. Especially the control center and notification center. However, after using them once, it seems to have sped up. The first time I swiped up, music started playing for no reason. All normal functions work fine, haven't tried all my apps yet.

This will probably disappear in the flow, but Best Buy has a special of $50 off iPhones right now and will give me ~$230 for my 4S trade in, resulting in a 5 for -$80. Is this worth it?

So we're looking at October or so for a new iPhone release then? iOS 7 looks pretty and my upgrade is up this month, but I'm not dumb enough to spring for a 5 now when a 5s or 6 is out so soon.

I have a Verizon iPhone 4. Can this be used in Belize if I add on international minutes, or should I contact Verizon for a world phone?

Make super sure that Verizon supports Belize. I got screwed with ATT on a cruise because Belize wasn't included in the international plan.

Trip report: Super buggy right now. iMessage screwed up and won't retrieve certain messages. App switcher is slow to activate (>1 second). The OS just feels much slower in general because you have to wait for animations to finish.

Control center is great. Not a fan of the icons (Baby's first iOS?). Overall though, should be pretty good once it's finally released and they polish out the bugs. Will be incredibly disappointed if they don't fix performance on iPhone 5. It's bad right now, but that's expected.

Everything seems to have a delay before it activates right now. Hitting a home screen icon or tapping the home button causes a pause. The icons, especially the white background ones, are pretty bad, honestly.

The camera app is really beautiful with all the little details and animations. Kinda makes me wish they tried a darker theme on more apps.

That's a pretty decent deal as far as I'm concerned. Just go in knowing that the next iPhone will more than likely be out within the next 5-6 months, but for $80 that really might not matter too much.

No no no, not $80, negative $80. They're basically giving me a free phone and case.

Maybe it's the compression, but every icon with a gradient look like absolute dogshit. Safari on a white background is also disastrous. Still months to go, but this isn't a very good first look.

I'm assuming you'd be burning your upgrade then? I'd wait out the 3-4 months for a 5S personally.

Sorry, guy.
A couple of dummy questions.

I'm on an iPhone 5 jailbroken 6.1.2

I'm thinking I may get this beta. Best course of action?

1) Back up phone.

2) Do a full restore.

3) Install new Beta on clean phone.

4) Restore my details?

or

4) Just "rebuild" my phone's personalizations as a new phone... contacts, all of the above..

?

And is it still believed that if need be, there is *SOME* way to get back on stock current IOS 6.1.4 or whatever?

Oh, well in that case I might go for it. I know others will disagree, but if you "burn the upgrade" and make $80 right now, when the next iPhone comes out you can sell the 5 and probably pay less than the actual subsidized price of the phone when it was new.

The only other thing I'd think about is if when the 5S comes out in 6 months, will it be worth it to you to sell the 5 and buy the 5S outright?

Man, that new UI is slick. I'm surprised iOS went 7 iterations before having a major update. I think they're going to finally show off the benifits of HighDPI display.

What's the limit on dock icons on the OS 7, same as always? This is important for my iPad use.

Also, is the Keynote available for download anywhere?

I think the best thing about IOS 7 is it really does feel like a new phone. I think some of the transition animations are a bit much though.

Didn't there use to be a jailbreak setting that would speed the animations up by 20-50% or so and make the phone feel much faster?

This has me second guessing my purchase of a dev account to try out the beta.

Incidentally, this will be the first iOS that is only on retina iPhones. (Still on non-retina iPads, but resolution is still higher than retina iPhones).

Personal hotspot is working great on my A1428. The weird thing is that it wasn't working on iOS6 because I don't pay AT&T for the privilege of using it.

EDIT: Everything else is working fine too. Contacts sync from Google. No crashes yet. I didn't restore any of my 3rd party apps though. Clean install.

Depends on your state laws. In Hawaii, for example, you can return any product within 30 days and they legally can't charge you a restocking fee.
