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

[jamesgunaca]

So no music controls in app switcher since they are in control center? That's years of behavior to unlearn...

I generally love, but, as a designer, does anybody else hate the circular cellular coverage icon? Its so distracting and unnecessary, and, just makes me think 'dumb' everytime it gets my attention...

You're not alone my friend! I agree with you at least, see here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1594239/

Reader

Apologies if this question has already been asked.

Is the reader option gone from Safari on iOS 7? I haven't seen the option in any screenshots.

Just scroll a bit up or just tap status bar once.

And no, you can't delete cache from Instagram or any other app in Usage menu.

Not related to iOS per say, as I too wish I could delete the cache from individual apps.

But for those who suffer from large caches in Instagram, try the app Gramory. It's an Instagram client that has a delete cache option!

(I am in no way affiliated with the app, but am a fan of having more space on my 16GB iP5)

Damn, how come the 4S is omitted from using AirDrop? Does it have something to do with the antenna?

4S doesn't have WiFi direct.

What is this icon? It's got no name, it never starts/finishes loading, and when I tap it, it changes to "waiting..." Restarting the phone makes no difference. I'm considering deleting it, but I don't want to screw something up.

Camera and multitasking

If the camera is opened in the multitask view, you get a live feed of the camera and can also use the volume up button to snap a picture. Small feature but fun to play with!

If you took away everything that "distracted" from a UI, you'd be left with a boring black-and-white design.

You're absolutely right. "Distracting" must be the new "usable".

Oh right, thank you for answering my question!.

They will be getting a redesign and will re-appear in future builds of iOS 7

Hopefully you're right. I found the weather widget really useful.

Few questions:

Voice Memos is no longer an app? Is it buried somewhere else or all together gone? Seems strange that they'd get rid of this function as it was a great tool.

In the camera app, is swiping from video, still, etc difficult? Seems like they are very close to the shutter button. Follow up question to that, does it leave the setting you previously had it on (ie square still) as default once you close out the app?

Snooze functionality in the alarm - Is the snooze button larger? That was one of my least favorite changes from iOS 5 to 6. The snooze button is tiny!

The bubbles background image was posted. No one has posted the stars background. Could you please?


Thank you!

1.) Voice Memos are gone - and I couldn't find a replacement

2.) You can swipe anywhere on the screen, it's almost too easy.

3.) Snooze you need to hit the text no visible button (photo attached)

Lol, this looks like the 'grid' design system they talked about using in the keynote yesterday.

For beta users does dynamic wallpaper in the homescreen work well on the iphone 5 or is it graphical demanding and will run much smoother on future devices?

 

[mrapplegate]

Oh right, thank you for answering my question!.

You're welcome. I found out by accident

Have you read the release notes??

I agree, it's very awkward at first but you kinda get used to it.

swiping left and right in safari acts as a a forward/backward option. (I'm sure it's been mentioned)

How come weather isn't apart of notification center anymore?

it's still used. It gives the current condition and temp. You can't swipe for the five day but tapping opens the app.

A quick look at iOS 7 anyone who's interested & has the time!

You should remove your personal details or you might end up utilising the block feature more than you anticipated.

Well... hope they'll make it better over time, since it looks like it was done too quickly...

As much as I'd love to love the new UI, the whole minimalistic design (when we're talking about UI) is kind of worse than what we see on Mac OS X in UX. It's not really user-friendly. The elements are not properly separated and there is almost no hierarchy.

Few elements of the design are not that bad but:

- Game Center, Notes, Reminders, Settings, Newsstand, Calculator and Contacts icons - Oh really?!
- the bottom Safari bar - ewwww
- the small spaces between two messages
- cluttered photo gallery - oh Apple, what have you done...
- the quick on/off thingy - that doesn't even fit the design!

I could go on and on, but I think you get me....

Who died and made you Pope?

Please, somebody. I just want to be able to swipe through a trip, sign by sign, before I go through the trip. Anybody?

 

[Grolubao]

Does swipe back only works in safari and messages? Is it available as an api for others apps to use?
