Thoughts on the new iOS?

Not a fan of the new music layout. The new messaging functions are cool, but the layout seems clumsy.

Kind of a general theme honestly.

I like it aside from the music layout. I'm sure they did what they did because people complained about the last one being too complicated, but they went WAY too far to the simple side in my opinion; this one looks like it belongs on a flip phone.

FYI, for anyone whose iMessage has been repeatedly crashing after updating, go into settings -> general and do Reset All Settings. I was about to pull my hair out yesterday before I discovered the fix.

Getting ride of "swipe to unlock" is really throwing me off.

It's fine I guess. Not great but not terrible.

I like it. I don't have a single complaint, but I'm not a "power user". I make calls and play on FB and TW. That's really it.

Getting ride of "swipe to unlock" is really throwing me off.

That's my only gripe. I keep swiping over to the notifications screen.

You can go back to the slide screen. Go into settings > general > accessibility > home button then select reset finger to open.

Nice. Just switched that.

It's a big damn up date, I know that much. 1.1GB? Good grief.

Possibly stupid question: The 1.1 GB is just the free space required to update, correct? It doesn't actually take up net 1.1GB more for the new operating system, does it?

 

[Augustus McCrae]

The size of the update varies by device. I have an IPhone 6 and the update package is 1.1GB. I don't know that the update is completely additive. As the update is un-packaged some of the new files may replace old ones. Given that, I'm not sure how to calculate what the net loss of storage capacity would or could be. Does that help? Someone else may be better suited to answer your question than I.

No it doesn't but it did take up about 400 MB more after it finished installing.
