New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

having got the shits with the battery life of every iphone ever, i bought an external recharge pack months ago and just live off that. ios 7 probably destroys my battery too, but i don't give it a chance to matter.

using the gps is pretty battery intensive in general

meanwhile my iphone 4 on ios6 is at 92%

i do get that, but the parallax is jerky and sputtery at best, and it works to enhance exactly nothing. at least the bungy zooming gives a prezi-alike sense of place.

my guess once people develop a mental image on a quasi subconscious level of ios as a 3d space these effects will improve usability, tho ur a tech dude who im sure is really good at using such things already so maybe it doesnt matter to you, but i think its super clever and subtle, lol everyone talking abt it being flat

tho i dont really understand being mad at parallax, its not very intrusive, most people dont even notice its there

yeah, parallax never bothered me

in other news, my iphone 5 is at 27%. so, 4 hour battery life? awesome.

yeah i had to change wallpapers to something with a horizon before i was even able to understand it

my iPhone 5 life seems to have increased after the update, edward I bet if u run google maps on your 4 the battery life will also plummet

yeah my battery life is better than before i think

well I'm not running google maps anymore, just ilx/FB use for the past 90 minutes and I'm at 15%.

11%

liveblogging my battery death

only thing running is safari lol

dead @ 3 hrs 45 min, a new record

dang

Mine's the same pretty much.

parallax looks fine to me

what's the point of any graphical anything on a phone? to make it look and feel nicer. what, you want a command line interface?

but it doesnt look and feel nicer to me, good thing they gave me a way to turn it off tho.

it's awesome

corporate day at cricket with software developers, and project manager next to me referred to android and eye-oss and I would not have had one fuck what he was on about had it not been for this thread.

I thought about saying 'you said eye-oss' but felt it might be arduous so refrained.

you're all gonna love it in a week just like you all came around on the gold iphone

i didn't

i mean, i wouldn't buy it

unless i had to

you have to

i guess that's that then

sorry you have to buy a gold iphone :/

nothing we can do about it

the complaints i'm hearing most are from people who are not tech minded at all. 'er indoors (only one example) cracked it because her ipad was suddenly doing some movement thing that she couldn't describe, but that had made her feel nauseous; and she had attributed her discomfort to the ~whole~ of ios 7 ('i really don't like that update you put on my ipad'). she never ever mentions her ipad, and she brought this up over dinner when we weren't even talking about ipads.

when i first noticed my phone springboard jiggling (the icon grid in relation to the screen, not the wallpaper in relation to the icon grid), i didn't even realise it was the parallax effect, and very genuinely thought i'd had too many tim tams that morning. it wasn't a subtle and pleasing effect, it was an aberrant jiggle that happened when i was barely moving the phone. it's only because i took comparative screenshots that i know the icons were moving. most users won't even know to do that much.

but eh, you're probably right in users just getting used to it.

installing an ssh client on my phone so i could remote login to my good ole unix box was the most delightful thing to ever happen to the phone

otm

you people are savages

Oh, nice.

They also reworked Bluetooth stuff like crazy. Devices that accept notifications can now get every Notification Center update.

Probably will be most visible in that car integration stuff they're pushing, but stuff like Pebble watches work with it.

Whoa, huge, huge improvement in battery life on iOS 7.

At 74% after 15 hours of more frequent use than typical, including a bunch of GPS. It had been going down to ~40% by afternoon on a work day w/ far less use.

dark art, battery life

Had just come onto the thread to see if anyone else had noticed a huge improvement in battery life.

i think i have. used it for hours today, only burned off 1/3 of the battery (iphone 5).

Mine's quite a bit worse now on my 4s I think. Down to 49% and I've only been up a couple of hours. Always bad when I'm using 3G heavily, I think.

used all day and barely got below 50% yesterday. nice

it is a mystery

5S scheduled for tues delivery so I guess I won't be spending much time getting to the bottom of it

my phone was having trouble charging and yesterday i used a toothpick to dig out some lint from the connector. now it charges like a charm. so that's another big improvement.

that's good, the q-tip that came with ios6 never worked properly

tings dat r bodderin me:

cannot set snooze on alarms!!! what??! idgi who decided that all ppl snooze for 9 minutes all of the time!!
cannot save custom timers!!!
cannot use any other app as an effective alarm or timer bcz of silent mode/background
cmon weather app icon just show me the number of degrees for the temperature it is outside w/ like a lil logo or something telling me if it's sun or rain or w/e

also plz to advice--does it make any diff ordering this from apple.com or ordering this from att.com?

yeah they really really shouldve taken the opportunity to make the weather icon live

I like iOS7 overall, but one thing that bugs me on the iPad is using the gesture to get to the multi-tasking feels weird because you four finger swipe up, but then the screen goes to the side.

yeah thats bad
