plain wrap package

What I bought for $800 plus ( yes we pay heaps more in Aus than the rest )
is now nothing more than a cheap looking lolly- pop wrapper. If you haven't downloaded the upgrade then don't...The changes to everything is a downgrade in my opinion and I hate it. Going back I'm told is impossible as your warranty is void.
I have more issues on this one

Canon PowerShot G15
1/60s f/1.8 at 6.1mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Technology... sometimes good and sometimes bad!

I like it!

I'm sorry to hear your upgrade didn't work out well. The icons aren't as eye catching as they could be but it may be the look they're going for.

Hmm... the display seems to work at least.

I did the update to both Ipad and Ipod and like it so far. I did a backup first but it seem like all was there. Maybe in time, I'll find some glitches.

Agree the look is a bit childlike, updated my phone and had loads of issues and have lost anything I put on it for the last two years, including all the pictures, guess I could get them back if I really tried but spent enough time trying to get it to work after the update failed and I had to set it up as a new phone, some of the features are better though and a bit quicker to use.

Glad you told me....I won't download!
Bill Miller23-Sep-2013 18:12
I am a phone luddite and still using an old Nokia. But yours is more colourful...

Nice iPhonetrait!
I updated ours last weekend. It looks a bit different, but apart from that haven't really noticed many changes and everything works fine. Perhaps some of your apps need updating to work properly...?

Looks like Apple skipped (or just didn't care) the beta testing this round. Lots of anger out there.
Tom LeRoy23-Sep-2013 13:41
Well, I did the upgrade both phone and ipad. I'm OK with it, but wish you could do full screen on the ipad.
Mieke WA Minkjan23-Sep-2013 07:43
like all new developments it is a process of adjusting,
I can imagine your frustrations Laine, I wish I never upgraded facebook on my I mac and most of the time I'm slow with these kinds of upgrading, but not this time and now I have a lot of problems...

Looks like new!
Guest 23-Sep-2013 04:35
Interesting image colors and details,well seen. no iphone, no tablet, no cell phone.. I just don't want to be that available
joseantonio23-Sep-2013 04:16
I don´t have one but thank you for the information.V
Robin Reid23-Sep-2013 03:49
I've gotten used to it and beginning to like. It is a BIG change.
Janice Dunn23-Sep-2013 03:05
Oh dear - sorry to hear that. I have upgraded my Samsung a few times and not always happy with the changes - but slowly got used to them
BTW - We pay more in NZ than you do in OZ for most things
Margot W23-Sep-2013 02:52
I did the upgrade to my ipad. It is different but nothing I can't stand. I have an old (that's funny as it is not really that old) iphone 3 which cannot share the upgrade but the paring of two mobiles is where they shine. I hope you get to enjoy your new mobile device Laine.
Terry Sprague23-Sep-2013 01:11
I don't have an iPhone but do have an iPad2. Installed the new iOS 7 yesterday and am up in the air about it.
Stephanie23-Sep-2013 00:57
My iPod Touch is a weeee bit too old for the upgrade. Phew! I don't want to have to adapt to a new look.... But I really dislike the fingerprint password....

Not looking...not looking...Like Brian with and Eye,I chose an Android tablet and even that is an adventure,Laine...V
Walter Otto Koenig23-Sep-2013 00:10
Apart from the "different" looking logos of the apps which will take some getting used to, I like the changes. No complaints from me, I prefer not hating anything.
bill friedlander22-Sep-2013 23:43
The more bells and whistles the add the less use friendly it becomes.
joanteno22-Sep-2013 23:39
Bummer, I just upgraded it.
LynnH22-Sep-2013 23:15
I don't have one. I hope you find a resolution. That's an awful price.
Guest 22-Sep-2013 23:15
My wife is having similar 'upgrade' problems. Thankfully I chose an Android tablet.
Mairéad22-Sep-2013 22:44
I did mine and it seems ok. No complaints so far (fingers crossed).
