Hi, I guess it's a matter of opinion. I have a 4s with iOS 7 and find
the iPad like sounds to be a great addition. Also, it's great to see
new features added in iOS which jailbreaking was necessary to get in
prior versions. For example the Control Center. The jailbreak
equivalent is SB Settings, and that gives you a chance to quickly turn
on and off certain things without going into settings. It does more
than that, but basically the control center adds this functionality.
The background monitoring and updating of apps is a great thing
because apps like GV Connect for Google Voice can now alert you of new
text messages in your Google Voice number. Previously you had to use a
third-party service like Boxcar or Push 4.0 to get this functionality.
Slower? I don't see that happening on the 4s. So if you are seeing
that on the 5, then perhaps something is up with your specific phone.
It's an opinion for sure, but I'm actually more excited about iOS 7
than I was about iOS 6 and iOS 5. I think Apple have done a great job
and I'm certainly not what you would call a Apple fanboy.

personally, i do not recommend updating to IOS7. i did on my iphone 5
and here is what i dislike about it. i know some may disagree and
that is fine. sometimes people attack you when you dare criticize the
GREAT APPLE!
problems i have in IOS7
1. slower. i have noticed on my iphone 5 voice over seems to run
slower. it seems to be more sluggish on speech and flicking through
applications. the phone also takes a half or more of a second to lock
when i click the lock button.
2. voice over sounds are different. on the ipad voice over, voice
over would always make a sound when you flick from different frames
or areas on the page. for example, if you are on an ipad and in the
messages application, try flicking from the message display area down
into the text message box where you type new messages. you do this by
flicking right. on the ipad voice over always made a unique noice
indicating that you have gone into a new area of the screen. the
iphone voice over never did this. well, on the new IOS 7 it now does.
this annoying
3. the side switch no longer silences flicking sounds. on IOS 6 the
switch above the volume buttons would silence the clicks made on
voice over when one flicks left or right. on the new IOS7 this switch
has no effect on the special clicks and noises associated with voice
over.
4. voice over looses focus. i have noticed, and perhaps it is just
me, that voice over sometimes looses focus on where you were last on
the screen. it is difficult to explain and perhaps i am the only one
who has this problem. but, sometimes when i am flicking right down a
page, voice over appears to jump back to the top or loose focus in
some other manner. voice over was always completely stable in IOS6
and i never had this problem. nor did i ever have voice over read
previously read aloud text at the wrong time when such text was not
being selected and should not have been read. again, difficult to
explain. but, i do not believe voice over is as stable as it used to be
5. finally, i dont see any real feature enhancements. without any
real enhancements i wouldnt update. just my recommendation
agree, I do not regret upgrading to iOs 7. Love the features Raul
mentioned and since I'm always passing my phone to a sighted perosn to
see a message or search result, or app icon, I love being able to tell
Siri to turn VO Off and ON. My 4s is not slower with the upgrade either.
