Downgraded my 4S back to 6.1.3 until I found out my iTunes backuped my stuff in iOS7.

No choice, now restoring from a older version. Thank god not too outdated.

On iPhone 5 its generally fluid. Below that it's quite bad.

Thks. For other device it shld be something like running Windows 8 on 1GB of RAM..

generally speaking, can install ios 7 to have a feel but if wanna use i guess is not recommended as the battery life is bad and rather unstable if you have a number of apps running. app will hang or crash.

Shall wait for official iOS 7 then... Hopefully will not be a long wait..

after using for 1 day, i restore back to 6.1.3. too many bugs and keep crashing

- some apps cannot run, like CoC and helo evernote.
- when i try to create contacts from whatsapp/sms it crashes
- music app album view all the images disappear, lyrics not working well (shows funny char instead of chinese)

the iRadio works, you just need to have a US account. but only have a few stations currently or you have to create your own. And the ads is audio ads! (means you listen to 10-15s ad before playing the station)

Did anyone try to remote erase their phone?

I think app compatibility is gonna be a major issue with iOS7

A way to get iTunes radio at country outside US,
Create an US apple ID, sign in and iTunes radio will be inside the music app.

Nice lock screen feature

An otherwise undocumented iOS 7 feature has been discovered that lets users view the entirety of large, panoramic photos on their iPhone's lock screen.

The feature uses the device's built-in gyroscope to track movement, and pans across the photo. In its demos of the software at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple had only shown off that the background of the lock screen and home screen would move slightly as users tilted the phone.

Initially it didnt work on my phone, but after a reboot it was there. So if you cant get it to work do a reboot.

Won't get blocked. They just say might not be supported.

Apps will likely still run; they just look weird alongside the new interface.

Anyone knows if I can change the telco, time and battery don't colours from white to black?
I use a wallpaper that has white background and can't see the info on the top bar.

Using iOS 7 since this morning and I really like the new interface and features. At the same time, I kinda miss the old icons. There are some bugs and battery life is quite terrible, as expected since it's in beta. Shall play with it for a few more days before restoring back to iOS 6.1.4.
