    So if you want it asap, I'd check around 9.45...and keep checking.

     

    OK, so I'll start 9.44 ...

    I'm impressed that Apple upgraded the iPhone hardware and iOS to support Infinity Blade III.

    I think there are about 64 ways to look at it¡

    Aww, I was hoping to get up this morning and find it had already been released. :(

     

    Oh well.

     

    Sorry to continue the OT discussion, btw.

    It probably contains both 32 and 64 bit which is why it's so big, it may not actually use that much when installed.  Or will it?

    I think that you will find that 95% of that is made up of game assets (audio/textures etc) and the rest is code.

    So I got the Golden Master release of iOS 7 already installed on my iPhone 5 (I am part of the developer program).

    That mean's this version of iOS 7 hitting the public today, wont be available for my phone right ?

    If you're part of "the developer program", you should know the answer to that. ;)

    It's the most recurring answer I get from searching the web. There is no official time given by Apple. For that, we only have history to rely on, which was around 10am pacific.

    I do expect some criticism on iOS7 making the the iPad2 and iPhone4 to become sluggish, but personally that is to be expected. If there is newer software I usually buy the hardware for it as well. The fact that it runs on last years' hardware is great (even from the year before), it's free, but people really shouldn't moan about it. You want iOS7; buy the HW that they designed it for.

    I am planning on upgrading my iPad3 but only after I made certain I can revert back to iOS6.

    Can't say for an iPhone 4, but my tests of iOS7 GM on an iPhone 4s and a 2nd Gen iPad have shown no slow down what so ever. Hard to say if there are 'snappier' ... but maybe ;) ... but certainly not slower.

    You won't want to go back. :)

    TIP: Spend ten minutes forcing yourself to recognize and learn new icons for Photos and Calendar ...

    $6.99 is $7.00 out of the price range for droid dorks. So why would it be anywhere else?

    ROFL

    I like all the apps that have been updated to do iOS7 justice. Jasmine is really clean and slick, TED as well. WeatherHD Pro is supposed to be updated, but frankly I don't see any changes to the UI. Flipboard looks cool as well.

    I was hoping to be ahead of the pack by warning people not to expect to get the latest and greatest for free, and expecting 'everything is faster now - wow!'

    Will do!

    That's a result of your "device" (android) not being capable enough to handle the more sophisticated apps ... sorry, better luck next time.

    That is one area where the Google Play Store does a bit better than Apple's App Store. Finding the apps you might be interested in is easier with the better categorization.

    I'm currently using a Nexus 4 with the latest software (4.3 Jellybean) as my main phone, and the touchscreen seems fine- until I compare it with something like an iPhone 5 (or any iOS device), at which point I realize that touchscreen responsiveness is still night and day. iOS seems to react perfectly to your actions, like butter, seamingly reading your mind.

    mmmm... not sure you followed correctly there ... I was referring to the changes of the icons used everyday on the iPhone home screen and my slowness in learning the new look of a few common ones now changed in iOS7 such as Calendar and Photos. It was self deprecating humor that's all.

    ... oh. Sorry, I did misunderstand your comment.

    The point is still valid tho.

    That might be a personal opinion, they look pretty much the same to me. Apart from being completely different lol

    If I may ask, is that by choice, or mandatory (employer or something).
