People who want to see the new features and developers who test it to optimize their apps.

Don't be so one sided.

I totally agree with your second point but about the new features....I don't think so,these are all minor things that anybody will now from the settings menu when the software will be released :)

I agree with the first part of your comment...

However it is funny the "Don't be so one sided." coming from you.

Why the misery? It shows upcoming features, and for iOS fans, I suspect they like the info.

The type of news each OS gets

iOS: Rumor, Rumor,Rumor, Patent, Rumor, Lawsuit, Beta, Lawsuit, Beta, Rumor, Underwhelming final product, Lawsuit.

Android: Rumor, Rumor, Leak, Final Product, Lawsuit from Apple.

WP: Steve Ballmer being cocky and giving random statistics for poor sales, Final Product, Models running the last version of WP not supported.

yea dude, one of the few time i agree with Mxy, i can see how this could be exciting to iOS fans as it shows new features and fixes to the upcoming software for their phone. I bet you eat up any android/wp (which ever way you go) software news coming out, i know i'm dying for klp info. And even tho im not a fan of iOS, i still like to follow this and see what their doing.

You could skip them, by not clicking on them.

You dont want news because you aren't a dev. Developers and people who have downloaded the betas do care. Especially if the features and bugs fixed are small and almost unnoticeable. So just calm down and wait for iOS 7 to come to your pretty little iPhone 4S :P Is it even an iPhone 4S?

Seriously, that looks so tacky. Like a 3 yr old did the graphic design too. I am very disappointed in this "all new" iOS

In a lot of aspects it has taken a lot of features from android. In terms of design, im all for it. It looks loads better than iOS 6, in my opinion

I'm not even getting iOS 7 on my iPod Touch 4, iOS 6 is ready laggy and iOS 7 would be worse because of multitasking and cooler animations, so I understand why. But my iPod Touch 4 is nearly 3 years old, and I was already planning on upgrading anyway. Don't know what I'll upgrade to, probably wait to the rest of the 2013 phones are released before deciding.

I don't think the iPod 4 will even get the update to iOS 7. Only the iPhone 4, 4S, iPod 5th G and iPhone 5, obviously. Oh, and also the iPad's (I'm not sure which)

33. vincelongman (Posts: 5068; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)

Yep (sadly), that's what I meant by "I'm not even getting iOS 7 on my iPod Touch 4"

I have iPhone 5 64GB, but I don't use it as my main phone, at the momen it just lie somewhere in my drawer with iOS 6.1.4. I want to try new iOS 7 Beta 5, but the problem is that at the moment I don't have "Lightning" cable to charge it or upload new OS. :\

I agree that new UI looks worse than the old one.

So what? Coke has its soda in a can, so it copied Pepsi or vice versa

27. frydaexiii (Posts: 1475; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)

Seriously? Have you totally forgotten about the whole "Pepsi is a copy of Coca Cola" thing?

I had zero lag or random reboots on Beta 4. 5 is nice, so far. I'm glad they changed the onscreen keyboard back after 2. Helvetica Neue was annoying on white keys and a light background.
