Hi, Well you were miss informed about there not being a 64gb version of the 5S I have one. I was one of the crazy ones who stood in line on the 20th in the rain to get one. It is a great phone and I love it. It is much more responsive than the 4S. As far as size and shape it is virtually the same as the Iphone 5. Much lighter and thinner than my 4S was. I also got one of the new leather cases from Apple and it is great. Very thin and light. Very nice feel in your hand.
As far as ios 7 goes I like it overall. There are a couple of minner issues such as the screen refreshing from time to time and VoiceOver is refreshed and so you loose you place in the app your in. Also when you close an app you don't always end up with the app highlighted on the screen. You end up with the first then on that page highlighted. One of the really nice things is the change to the app switcher. Instead of doing the double click and hold to close apps, you now just swipe down and you have choices to open or close that app. One of the hardest thing for me to teach new users was the double tap and hold gesture. Overall I like it a lot. I think a lot of low vission users don't like the color scheme of IOS 7. There are a number of things that you can do to make things easier to read though.

Hello everybody Firstly, let me just say that I'm not interested in what the "fat cats" and the professional analysts say; I'm looking for genuine user opinion here. I just wondered what you all make of iOS7.02 now that it is public, in terms of accessibility primarily, and functionality as a secondary topic. Speaking as somebody with vision, on the outside looking in as you might say, it seems to me that Apple has maintained its reputation and commitment as far as iOS is concerned, to accessibility. Although I haven't gave much of an opportunity to play around with VoiceOver yet, from the visual perspective iOS7.02 is gorgeous. I love the way that applications can now interact, and the gestures which were there in iOS6 have been improved upon. Of course, Apple's errors which only came to light when iOS7 hit the streets were a little embarrassing for them I would think. But in fairness, they did move swiftly to address them and now, we would seem to have as secure a mobiles operating system as we can reasonably expect. I do have one query though. I remember reading in the release notes that there are a small number of functions which only apply to the iPhone5, iPhone5C and iPhone5S. Is there anybody who has upgraded since the release of iOS7 to an iPhone5, iPhone5C or iPhone5S from an earlier model and has noticed a significant increase in functionality? If so, what were the significant differences that you noticed? I am toying with the idea of upgrading all of our iPhones to the 5S. But I seem to remember that there is no longer a 64GB model available. Our iPhones are currently all the 4S 64GB models. They work fine, and if I'm going to upgrade there's have to be significant reasons. Yes, the dual cameras would be nice, but not essential. I very much welcome your input, and I hope that we can maintain a cordial and productive discussion.
