50%? That’s sounds like a pretty large number. I mean, it’s not like app developers didn’t know IOS was coming. out of the 90 apps I have on my phone, I can’t think of more than 3 that haven’t been updated to work with IOS 7 or, just don’t work with IOS 7. Of course, I don’t know what kind o

right now, I won't upgrade because at least 50% of my apps will not be properly accessible with 7. Until that changes, I will leave it at 6.1 for the foreseeable future. -eric On Sep 26, 2013, at 10:12 AM, Aman Singer wrote: > Hi, Chris and all. > I would, Chris, respectfully disagree with wha

Hi, Chris and all. I would, Chris, respectfully disagree with what you say below. I neither like nor dislike change, but like change for the better and dislike change for the worse.

I don't understand the hold out either and actually think this is a good move on Apple's part. I know iOS 7 contain bugs, but all initial releases of software, regardless of platform, will have bugs. They will only improve not worsen over time. I have a few bugs myself in iOS 7 but I cope with

Hi, Having investigated some more since I last posted, what's actually happening is iOS7 is being downloaded, but it's not being installed. As a jailbroken user, once it downloads, I will simply delete the file to reclaim my disk space and then make some modifications to prevent it being downloade
