iOS 7: All The Little Things! (Featuring iOS 7.1)

[mark151]

Two questions:

1. When on silent mode and during a phone call, you receive a notification: does the iPhone still vibrate on your face?

2. Alarm clock, on silent mode: does the alarm clock vibrate+sound? Is there a custom vibration setting (probably where you can change the alarm clock tune)?

Is rotation lock able to lock the phone in landscape mode now, or is it still only portrait? (obviously this is more applicable within an app than on the home screen)

No, it is still Portrait Only Locked

When you clear a notification from notification Center, does the badge on the icon on the home screen disappear as well?

How does Siri look when you make Wolfram Alpha queries? Did they get rid of that dot matrix printer paper design?

What about sports and movies?

Yeah they've gotten rid of the background effects. Results all sit on top of a white/frost translucent box.

You miss it at first. But then, you shrug it off and move on

Is there anything in the settings that lets you change the clock on Lock Screen? The background I have used for over a year blends right into the clock and I can't really read it.

I changed the background, hopefully, there is a fix for this.

 

[fabianvs]

are emojis still there?

I do not know if this has been mentioned before but if you swipe up from the right corner of the lock screen you access the camera (but there is not any camera icon, at least not in iphone 4s).

Edit: Oh wait! there IS a camera icon but I was not able to see it because of my background image.

I cleared some missed calls earlier and the badge was still on my phone icon.

There is a camera icon on my iPhone 5. Silly question but the icon is practically white, are you sure it's not just blending into your background?

OP, I think I found a new one

Looks like iOS 7 got the ability to redeem gift cards by using the camera like iTunes for Mac. Pretty cool!

Good find! I had two punch in 2 codes just last week and was frustrated I couldn't just scan the barcode.

are emojis still there?

Yes, all present and correct.

lol. YOU are the one assigning mere COLORS to a gender, so if anything YOU are the one being sexist. If you don't like the theme, then fine, that's your prerogative, but DON'T try to spin it as Apple offending your manhood. There happen to be a lot of men who really like it.

I'm not the one who made iOS 7 pretty and pink to market it directly at women.

Settings -> Notifications -> mail

Thanks for the screenshots guys! I'll miss wooden shelves, but this new newsstand is cool too, I like it!

I think you misquoted me. I was asking about how to opt out of group chat and someone said that it was already in iOS 6.

As you can see, labels can change color

Sorry if this has been mentioned. The weather app IS the Yahoo! Weather app you can clearly see the Y! icon on the bottom left corner. I the same thing when they showed it but then actually saw the Y!

iOS 6 also has the Y!. That's because yahoo provides the weather information...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned (sorry, but I can't read through 20 pages just to find one comment)...

That really sucks you didn't have 10 seconds to use the "Search this thread" button. I realize you saved yourself many multiple seconds of your valuable time. Glad that was an option for you.

Don't worry about the thousands of users who have to keep reading the same darn things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. We're just happy you didn't waste 10 seconds of your life!

I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere but I just now realized something they removed.

You can't update your Facebook or Twitter from Notification Center anymore, that's pretty much how I updated those anymore. That I do not like at all.

He didn't have to contribute anything to this site, so be a little grateful. Must be exhausting giving people **** for trying to help.

That's good to hear. Is the text edge-to-edge?

I hated how Wolfram Alpha results had those dot matrix paper strips on thr sides. That's a perfect example of the problems that skeuomorphism can create. It's not simply about the kitschy aesthetics, rather, by including those strips on the side (or by placing movie results within a box), you're creating a narrower display area, meaning that less information can be displayed and everything is smaller. I found that to be even more annoying than the linen or green felt or leather textures in the OS.

You can now edit the order of certain things in the settings menu

Could someone tell me how different the multitasking is and what it now offers, which wasn't possible before?

 

[CCCowley]

In reference to my last post this is probably the buggiest bit I have found so far, anyone else experiencing this?

 

[WhackyNinja]

are emojis still there?

Yep!

You could do that since the inclusion of Notification Center.

Nice. That's a definite improvement in functionality.

Do you mind posting a screenshot of how sports scores and movie show times are displayed? Thanks.
