Yo for real someone sweet talk me with the new Photostream poo poo (if it works). It's unironically the feature I'm looking forward to the most.

(Please tell me it keeps poo poo in the cloud rather than download EVERYTHING like it currently does)

Welp. Taking the plunge, folks. See you on the other side.

Standard Apple disclaimer -- it's not actually true (or at least, hasn't been so far.)

The screenshots posted in this thread so far look beautiful. I wish I had a spare iOS device to install the beta on, as I'm not ballsy (or stupid?) enough to install it on my iPhone. But keep the photos coming, guys. They rock. I'm getting more and more excited for iOS7.

I'm taking this phone in to the Genius Bar in 2 days for camera issues. I'll do it right before and report back.

I've done DFU restores off of developer betas before.

I can confirm that a DFU restore to 6.1.4 works just fine.

It shouldn't. Any unique identifiers on the device have remained the same.

I was honestly getting pretty bored of iOS these days, and I've only had an iPhone for about 2 and a half years now. The new iOS looks absolutely amaaaazing though. It's going to pretty much kill my interest in jailbreak from the look of things.

Trip report: A little sluggish on the 4S.

The white icons are bothering me far more than they should.

Apps are transferring over. I'll of course be checking the most important ones:
Words with Friends
Facebook
Twitter
Spotify - Works!
The Awful App

and most importantly the Suicide Girls flip strip app because that thing is an antique and I'll be devastated if it no longer works

e: It's weird, because app switching and launching and such is blazing-fast but I get sluggishness out of loving typing :confused:

e: and apparently devs need to reformat error messages

e: with the way folders open up now, it feels like you should be able to swipe them away and not have to tap away but you have to tap.

e: the action to unlock the phone is exactly the same as it always was, but now you swipe your lockscreen to the right instead of moving a slider and for some reason it feels completely different and weird. Like, If I'm moving the lockscreen I should swipe it to the left, man.

e: definitely going to hold off on putting this on my Mini.

Turn-by-turn's layout is actually pretty broken right now. UI elements frequently overlap each other.

Interestingly enough, they added that functionality to Mavericks. You can just type a response into a Messages Notification. I'd be stunned if it doesn't make it to iOS within the next year (maybe as part of 7.1 or something).

With all of these new gesture controls in iOS 7 like swipe up from the bottom for Control Center, etc. Do you think Apple is preparing iOS to work with a phone that doesn't have a physical home button?

If you have a recent backup you can use a program like DiskAid or iExplorer to dig through it and probably get most of them back.

That or just a future beta before release. They've added stuff like that before.

I'm kinda down about the new UI but I'm interested in how integrated it'll be with OSX Mavericks since I might be buying a MacBook for the first time this fall. The Apple website says you can highlight and annotate books on your MacBook and push all the edits to your iOS devices. Also you can apparently set up an entire set of directions and push them to iOS Maps. I've been using Windows all my life so something more tightly integrated might be nice.

This is pretty cool.

Although because of the curve of my car's glass I'm able to create my own heads up display if I position the phone in the correct place on the dash, I wonder if I'll still be able to do that with reduced brightness?

Unfortunately, I think because I had photos set to sync with iPhoto (I don't know why, I guess it's because I'm fuckign stupid) it doesn't look like those are in my backups

Took the plunge. It runs about as well as iOS 6 did on my iPhone 4. Really liking the new look, and Control Centre is great. It's these quick access toggles that I used to jailbreak for. Glad to see that it's now unnecessary.

Can you pull them out of your photostream? I sync my phone to a mac with an old iphoto so I can't check this, all my pictures show up on my windows machine even though I've never synced the phone so I assume the mac is the same if you have the right iphoto?

I was initially dazzled when I saw it, but after thinking about it for a bit, I feel it's a really mixed bag. Some absolutely beautiful things are in there, and then some things that I think are really terrible, like the vasoline-smeared glass panels. I get what they're going for with the overlays, but I think it needs to be way more opaque.

That said, the main functionality for iOS 7 seems to be on point and most of the apps look great, so hopefully the weird inconsistencies get taken care of and the vasoline panels get toned down.

And I don't have iPhoto set to automatically sync for some reason. I don't know, I guess I never put much thought into this until all my photos were gone.

e: Oh, it was because I hated iPhoto popping itself up all the time. That's why I disabled it.

Lost cause, I suppose.

e: wait, poo poo, my phone currently has 6gb of 'other' files on it. My photos, in ethereal form, perhaps?

e: Got it from the backup! DiskAid and iExplorer were both useless. Got some sketchy-looking app called Dr. Fone and it got everything. Nice.

e: sketchy app costs money boooo whatever got diskaid to do what I needed jesus christ this was a scary experience but man did I learn an important lesson here.

Well, darn. I thought that pictures were supposed to just show up in your photostream even if you didn't sync but I guess I'm wrong here. That sucks, man.
