    Default iOS 7

    So, about a half hour ago, I got a notification on my iPhone 4s that iOS 7 was available to be downloaded. So I downloaded it.

    Terrible mistake. At first glance, iOS 7 sucks. The appearance of most icons has changed and the print is barely visible with my phone's background. The appearance of the phone app has completely changed, and text messages are now all visible when you open the text app.

    Why can't they leave well enough alone?

    Rule #1. Never volunteer for anything. That goes for upgrades too. You always select Later and then let the other folks battle with the problems before you take it on. Care to guess why?

    I like it except now I have to download iTunes 11.1 and also I know it probably isn't jail broke yet so I'll have to tether to my work phone for my Georgia trip next week.

    At least it didn't brick your phone instantly. Never submit to an update you can avoid until you have heard from enough nuts-and-bolts geeks who have tried it out.

    Brick an iPhone on an official released iOS? Seriously? Apple is anal about stability.

    I have been using mobile devices running windows, android, or iOS for about 15 years. Since Windows CE and have never bricked anyones phone. Might have to wait for an update. I have been a member at XDA developer since the beginning for them.

    I guess I am a "nuts and bolts geek" with paleopathic tendencies. LOL

    You're being facetious now, right?

    You guys are using all of the fancy terms and expressions. So bricking a phone isn't when you throw it through a glass window?

    You have to write a note on it, then it is bricking.
