IOS7

So... This is an unlikely post for someone as non-tech savvy as me but I wanted to share my thoughts on apples brand new operating system. I had been wanting to get a windows phone for quite some time but i think i can hold off for a year or so now that i have this new update on my iphone.

First off, my likes:

1. The AWESOME pull up screen. Just slide your finger straight up and you have music, flashlight, calculator, phone modes and more at your fingertips! I especially love the flashlight part of this one!

2. The weather app... YES... I know... It looks like a droid but i think it is still a much better display of the weather. I can't wait until it snows so my screen can  get all snowy when i open my weather app!

3. The multi-tasking system. I like how instead of having running apps at the bottom wasting your battery apple now freezes your screen and saves it until you no longer are going back to that app or page.

4. The new tones and backgrounds! They are actually really great! I really like the new text tones because i was getting tired of everyone have the same chime as me!

My dislikes:

1.The way it complicates your e-mail! I loved the old e-mail settings. I find this impractical to use when trying to move things to trash folder.

2. Calender... I hope i grow to love it but right now it is seriously a pain! It gives you like a daily agenda not a screen with the motnhs. I'm sure this is easy to change so i'll have to google it another time!

Honestly overall I think the update is worth the hour and a half it takes. If you haven't updated yet I suggest you do it! :)
