I don't like it. I prefer the old design to this one, it looks too cartoony.

Pretty sure you can get iTunes Radio as long as you hve a USA Apple ID there is a YouTube video on how to do it. I live in Norway but got my iPhone in the states and have a USA Apple ID and can't figure it out. So if anyone has tips....

Found a bug. If I'm listening to music and swipe to unlock, the song skips back a bit. Happens every time as far as I can tell. Anybody else?

when you're in a conversation, slide your finger right to left and the timestamps appear.

Anyone having troubles scaling and selecting backgrounds? On my iPad mini, the selection starts zoomed in and off to the right. If I zoom out it bounces back, and I can only zoom in from there. So I can't have a full size picture for a background.

Doesn't seem much different than the old one, except for the control center and now half my icons aren't in the same graphic style as the others. Which kind of looks dumb.

And the music skipping when you unlock the phone glitch, it worked itself out when It urned the phone off and on again.

anyone else having issues with certain apps?

i was running beta 6 and everything was working about as good as could be, especially considering it was unreleased beta software, and now after everyone has started rolling out app updates, facebook will crash every time i try to open someones profile from a search, if i try to share a photo from instagram to facebook while i am uploading, both facebook and instagram crash, as well as a few other apps that are acting similarly and crashing during pretty common actions..

so far i regret updating past the last beta/updating to a bunch of the new "ios7 compatible" apps

I'm having zero actual issues.

The facebook app is fucking horrible. Always has been.

The day at a glance thing is super nice. The control center is super nice. The new way of closing and switching between apps is nice. The new radio is sick.

For me on a 4S, they were necessary changes to an outdated OS.

Negatives:
Creating a background that's the correct size is a pain in the ass. Disable motion? Well let me just disable the parralax thing then, not every single motion with icons.
You can't swipe to delete emails. Seriously, what idiot got rid of that.
Can't get weather in "day at a glance" page
App updating seems buggy.
