I must have read something wrong. I though it said "Swipe down at any home screen to Dismiss Spotlight."

Great feature though, but Dismiss?

Hmm, on mine there is now no bar on top on the Home screen. Cellular bars are now dots, all text at the top is white.

Anybody else?

This is all 5 minutes after reboot BTW. Time to play.

Less 3D in the GUI makes sense. Faster response, on older hardware especially. Didn't read it anywhere, just IMO makes sense.

All this feedback makes me think I might wait a bit to let them work more kinks out. I own an iPhone 4 (even though I bought it well after 5 was out just because I am a cheapskate.)

Stay with what you have. It works, and works well. Right?

Edit: Don't listen to me. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Unless y'all think it's okay to make the jump now. I value your opinions.

I finally quit and went outside to play. The devil made me come back in and try again. I said the heck with iTunes and did it like 6 of 1 -- over the air. Started it and went outside. Don't know how much later I came back but it was ready for me to do the little things to finalize it. Did the same with both iPhone and iPad and I am now in business.

Had to change my background pictures. The font is too skinny making it light so on a light background I couldn't read stuff. Yeah,I made the font larger but that appears to be for certain apps that support that kind of enlargements.

Safari is far out! Really changed. I'll get use to it though. Don't mean I won't fuss and bitch now and then wink

Photos has an interesting touch/arrangement of pictures.

I finally got my 4 updated last evening. I did the direct over the air method on the phone which did take a very long time. iTunes finally updated properly to 11.1 too. So far, I like iOS7 (the few minutes I spent doing a quick explore and then hitting the sack).

I updated the iPhone and the iPad, both via iTunes, with no hitch at all. Everything's working so well that David Bowie is going to make an album of the experience.
