    1. Try this…

      Turn off iMessage

      Reset your network settings

      Turn iMessage back on

      That seems to have fixed it on my phone as well as for some others who have had the same problem lately.

  1. Is there some way to downgrade iPhone & iPad to iOS 6? iOS 7 is such a disappointment. It takes more steps to get things done in iOS 7 than iOS 6 – there’s so much unnecessary guff that it’s actually irritating to use.

    Cook & Ive are hellbent on destroying the Jobs legacy that I want to get off the Play-school bus now.

      1. Were it to be so easy it would leave a smile on my face. No, I’m afraid the iOS 7 upgrade process is a one way street. Apple has refused to give fresh certification to iOS 6 so restoring from a backup is a no go option. I do backups religiously before upgrading so backing up is not the issue here. It’s almost as if Apple is forcing us to share in the misery of iOS 7 so it can boast of iOS adoption numbers when in truth there are many unhappy iOS 7 upgraders like me who can’t go back to iOS 6.

    1. yes. Absolutely. I downgraded my iPad to iOS 6- just until the wallpaper matter is resloved. Type download iOS 6 in your browser search. Plenty of sites have it. Once downloaded, go to iTunes, connect your device and at the sane time you click restore, hold the option key. From the menu that pops up, select the iwnloaded file.

    2. Jeez — lighten up dude. This is a .0 release. If there are issues, they’ll be ironed out. Just like in every Apple OS. And no one at Apple is destroying anything. Personally, I love the new OS and feel like I’ve gotten a brand new phone. YMMV.

      But please take the rhetoric down a notch. Where do you think we are? Congress?

    3. Nope. No way to go back. Learn from this. Next time they release a new .0 iOS or OSX you should chill out, sit back, and let everyone else report the bugs back to Apple. By the time it gets to .1 most of the big annoyances are gone. By .2 you’re pretty much always safe to install. Why make your life harder?

  2. I am glad Apple stands behind their products with regular updates. No one is perfect and this is a totally redesigned GUI with new features. Since the launch, I have really grown to like it better than iOS 6. I think it looks better, is easier to use and has functionality that did not exist in iOS6.

    Then again, I liked new Maps from the beginning. But, I really like it now and depend on it daily. The 3D views are stunning and the directions are spot on.

    Great job, Apple!

    1. Regular updates,.. We are all beta testers. They have to update the software is pushed out half baked. Apple should be paying its users to uncover all the stuff that should be sussed before final sign off, nice going sir jonny.

  3. I would almost like to purchase an iPhone 5 or 5s except that the iOS 7 sucks and looks just like android and Apple does not allow people who try iOS 7 and hate it , to go back to iOS 6.
    Looks like they are so hell bent on erasing Steve Jobs taste that they decided to copy Android.
