my phone has 102 Apps, which take 7.71 GB

Could it be that your upgrade experience colored slightly your impression of iOS 7? Naw..... ;-)
Sorry to hear about your troubles, testcase.

No, you're NOT the problem. Yesterday, I "bricked" my iPhone4 trying to upgrade it while it was connected to my MBP by a generic, non-Apple cord. I'm on the road on an extended RV trek. Fortunately, I had several cords including a genuine Apple cord. I had already downloaded the 1.12GB Upgrade file but, when I got back to my RV (I had been at a library to insure good WiFi) , the upgrade refused to install without an internet connection. :banghead: I went to a Starbucks and was able to un-brick my iPhone. I was offered a choice of Restore Points but, although I selected a point about two weeks old, my choice was ignored and, I have a clean install with Apps everywhere except where I want them. I have 4800+ Apps so, with Apple's piss poor management tools as my only option, it will take me days before I get my phone close to the way I want it.

:villagers:
Why didn't you back up before you started the process?? Doh!!!

No problems or complaints here; installed on both an iPhone 4S and iPad mini. I quite like it.

The iPhone and iPad have so thoroughly changed how we interact with devices that I sometimes catch myself trying to tap on the screen of my laptop.
I've done something similar - last week I caught myself trying to scroll on my laptop by swiping downward on its screen.

thanks for the suggestion on turning on the bold option, as well as the text size feature.
Some of the text seems awfully small, even with my new fangled progressive lenses.

Have not seen iOS7 yet, but Apple has a history of designing using young men with perfect eyesight working under perfect lighting conditions. Few of us can see that well, and we work under conditions of glare and flare that Apple products sometimes don't seem to have anticipated.
The small, thin fonts in iOS7 concern me, even before I consider upgrading.

I have a friend with macular degeneration. I told her to stick with iOS 6. She will never be able to read iOS 7.

If you watch the process, the very first thing the update does is back up the current iPhone, to the cloud I assume, as that is the default setting. He did not realize that he could have used that backup when he was at Starbucks. He can still restore from that backup if he wants to9.
He survived.

'Depends upon how much typing (email/tweets/etc.) she does.
With the aforementioned adjustments to the text settings, the interface is very legible, EXCEPT for the letters on the keyboard in nearly invisible text, narrow dark-gray strokes on-light-gray buttons on a light-gray background.
When I turn the brightness all the way up on the screen, I find that the phone is much more responsive and my typing is much more accurate -- and the spelling corrections are much more accurate -- under iOS 7... but it kills my battery quickly.
So, the choice is between having a completely unreadable keyboard or killing your battery quickly.
Very little thought seems to have gone into using this thing.
