    (Yes I know you can make ringtones in GarageBand)

     

    There is nothing preventing third party apps from creating such app. In fact, I am sure there are plenty in the app store.

    So the old tones are retained in a "Classic" subcategory, but not the old wallpapers? Seems kinda inconsistent. Oh well, I've saved all the images anyway.

    I was really looking forward to it and it's a shame they've removed it (if they have).  

    I had a long landscape of Altair 4 done up all ready for use.  :(


     

    I'm afraid you're wrong. The panorama wallpapers didn't display a different page of the image as you slide though the home pages.

     

    As long as you held the phone still, the background image would stay the same on all home pages. If you moved the phone physically to the left or right (or if you spun your body in a circle), then the panorama would slide as if it were staying in place whilst you moved.

     

    This video may help to demonstrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REq8akbGkXA

     

    I also found it a bit disorientating.

    I wish it was still an option.

    Makes better use of the parallax effect than a standard picture.

    Click what click... oh wait, those silly key click or button clicking sounds... sorry, that has been the first thing turned off since my first gen iPhone. Can't stand the clicks when doing anything, even taking a picture. I'll prob go through all the new sounds when I upgrade my iOS, but I have all custom sounds for all my contacts and such, so not used default sounds in years.

    The panorama feature is not gone. It is still there. It does not show up unless you actually take a panorama with the phone otherwise iphone crops the panorama and it shows up as a still

    Thanks! That's awesome!

    Could you possibly post a demo of it here?

    I can not. I will not put that hideous looking interface on my phone. It shouldn't be GM until they actually design the icons and get rid of the neon color palette.

    You can check out the performance of your iPhone using animated panoramic wallpapers by going to this link panoramico.audiko.com You don't have to be the user of iOS 7 to see how it will perform on your iPhone. ;)

    What's with the skeuomorphic thought behind iTunes Radio? It's not a radio.

    I updated my iPhone 5 to IOS7 before it was released to the public, as a developer friend was able to add my phone's ID number to his account. Since the update has been released to the public, I am yet to see any new wallpapers, ringtones or alert tones, and I am not able to do a fresh update. I also have an iPad which I waited until public release to update and this has all of the new features. Does anyone know what I should do? :/

     

    HELP!

    Obviously don’t install prerelease software when you’re not entitled to it.

     

    Just direct download iOS 7, go to iTunes, and click “Restore” while holding Option (unless you’re on a PC, then Shift). Find the file you just downloaded and let iTunes restore it manually.
