Apple came out with the latest version of its iOS operating system Wednesday. Millions of people tried to download it from school, work, on the ride home or hidden near their neighbor's house with unprotected WiFi. After the initial chaos of the release, many users took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the new iOS 7. Many, in fact, were quite favorable.
"I am actually in love with iOS7" wrote @EllaChaston.
"My favorite thing about iOS7 is tht it doesn't automatically open messages. Now it's easier to ignore all the people not texting me," @cassiensmith tweeted.
"Having iOS7 makes me feel like I've got a new phone," said @Daan_lockhart.
He isn't wrong, Apple had to roll out the new iOS 7 to its mobile devices two days before the release of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Many have wondered if pushing the iOS 7 update to older iPhone models will cannibalize some of the business that will come with the appeal of a new Apple device now that everyone's old model feels like new.
Despite the praise, not everyone was thrilled with Apple's new update.
"I don't like how with iOS7 the tap to tweet isn't there anymore" wrote @Sister_Eleanor in reference to the new Notification Center's lack of twitter integration.
"I don't understand how someone couldn't like iOS7 besides the fact that the icons are ugly," said @Joy7xo
"I have the "kids" version of an iPhone now... Oh wait sry I meant iOS7. Imean "Tie-Dye" for a calendar background?!?" Tweeted a disgruntled @pkllgerman.
Others seem to have reacted to the update with, what can only be described as either ironic comedy or utter confusion to Apple's new update.
"You guys are such iOS 7 bandwagons, name 5 of their songs," tweeted @bengumina.
For those who haven't updated their iOS mobile device to work with Apple's iOS 7, it can be found in your downloads under the settings tab. Make sure you back up all of your pictures, contacts and music before you get started and be aware that you might be without the use of your phone while it updates for about an hour.
