Lisa your explanations are always thorough, but seem geared toward the average consumer like me! Thank you for speaking slow enough for me to get it without having to run the bar back to listen again, like I do on other tech channels! haha! I always enjoy your reviews, and even watch the ones on products I wouldn't necessarily buy. I did order an iphone 5s, so I am saving your video on a playlist so I can rewatch it when my phone arrives! :)
not sure if this was already mentioned but you can use multiple fingers to swipe up when closing apps in the multi task menu. my iphone5 i can close up to 3 apps at the same time. great video!
iOS 7 can actually run on all iPads except the first generation iPad. I am currently running iOS 7 on iPad 2 and it works smoothly. It doesn't get full transluscency though on notification center or the control center but in terms of functionality, everything works the same way as on my iPhone 5 which also runs iOS 7. Great review! :)
Wow no. 1! I have a question: my friends likes the features but he dislikes the hello kitty new look. Is there a way to upgrade but go back to use the classic 3d look?
I dont think you can. Apple chose to disable it on the ipod touch for some unknown reason. You will have to wait for a jailbreak then find an app on cydia to enable battery percentage.
Lisa, you forgot to mention iOS 7 has its own version of Live Wallpapers. Apple calls it Dynamic Wallpaper, and it reacts to how you move your device. The only thing available right now though is abstract circle patterns in different color schemes.
Just a heads up, this iOS 7 upgrade is also available for the iPad 2. I haven't upgraded yet, but I've gotten the notification for it. It's already downloaded and ready to install.
Hello. I have an iPad mini (first generation). I wanted to get a new iPad, it has to be 32GB (I need this amount of storage). I wont be buying the iPad Air because I would be spending more than $600. Im choosing between new iPad mini with retina ($500) or iPad 4 refurbished from Apple ($450) both 32GB. I will be using it mostly for school: textbooks, reading, web browsing, drawing, and rarely iMovie. I will be editing or creating Pages and Keynotes sometimes. Every now and then I play games on my iPad, such as Angry Birds, and Flow Free (I don't play games like Infinity Blade, even though I bought it). Weight is no problem because I toss my iPad in my backpack What Im interested in knowing is "If I would need the new internals: processor and everything else." Should I go for the iPad mini with retina or iPad 4? By the way nice video.
My 5th gen iPod Touch occasionally lags and stutters more ever since the update. Its minial but it's kind of frustrating at times. I'm guessing its because of hardware limitations? I mean with only half a gig of ram and 2 processor generations behind (same as the 4S)... I wouldn't be so surprise. I do appreciate the update, not game-changing but it certainly works great. Hate the neon color palette though.
Thank you Lisa for the tip! Yeah im not to savy on computers etc and im just getting used to the ipod,the way it is its just perfect. On another note,by watching your vids you have made me pc electronic smarter!! :)
First of all that Chinese MIUI is a custom ROM, that's a custom version of Android, not just a simple skin or theme, it's much more complex than that. And second, you're right, MIUI was specifically designed to mimic iOS, that's it's number one feature, so you could say that MIUI looks like iOS 7, not the other way around. Love, Mike :)
You love those features now, but you didn't like them before? Right? We have them since long ago. And we have many more , that you gonna love them, in few years, too.
Ok, I'm hesitant about downloading IOS 7 I have a 2 nd gen ipad2 64 gb with 3G. This thing cost me way too much to get rid of it. So please just tell me is it ok to download iOS 7?
I've put it on my 4s and I hate it. It's too white and I hate the way it zooms in and out of apps. Why can't they give you customising options? Or a choice of icon shapes? I'm due an upgrade and this has made me question whether to go to Samsung.
question. you said you can get iOS 7 on 4, 4s, and 5, and that 5s already comes with it. i'm going to be getting a 5 in the next couple weeks. do you think it would come preloaded with 7, or would still be running 6?
Apple is playing catch up now. I'm no android fan, but these features are already available on my Samsung Wave with bada 2.0. And that's a 3 year old phone.
It's not really that different in terms of operation. They only added things jailbroken iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches have been able to do for years and a few new pretty aesthetics.
@mrduck i agree, samsungs build quality is excellent. some of the other brands phones start to fall apart like speaker grilles peeling off or seperation on the body, i dont have to mention a name because you know who you are
I love the ios 7 update.. it runs smoothly on my ipad 3. I love the multitasking and new ui and icons.. android did first all what apple has released in this update but i like it... no issues at all. But to be honestly i prefer android ui and system ...
I prefer my HTC one android phone over my iPhone and iPad but ios 7 is cool. Seems a bit like android in a way. I was able to get ios 7 on my iPad2 as well
get the s4. the screen is much better and the battery is much bigger. And android is much more customizable and gaming will be better on s4 because of the screen. though I would recommend the note 3 which is coming out very soon. its more powerful and the screen is the best out of the 3.
NEW iOS devices get iWork for free, 5 snazzy apps like iMovie and iPhoto. Sucks because our iPad Mini isn't that OLD and I have to see if the App store will let us download it for free as Apple said on Sept 10th, new devices can get the suite of apps at no charge. In the past it was 99 bucks for all of them.
the camera still doesnt have a countdown? how do I search for a word in a web page text with safari? still cant open two applications at once?.....so you get it? those are useful features, who cares about the freggin icons and the keyboard!!
I'm having a problem in Control Center where I can adjust volume and scrub through songs, but I can't skip forward or back through songs. What's wrong?
No actually I can say IOS 7 looks like MIUI which is heavily skinned Android just like Touch Wiz and whatnot. I've had IPhones before and remember the icons and translations being way different from IOS 4-6. I know what MIUI does and I was specifically referring to the Icons and some of the UI.
No only the iPod Touch 5G is eligible for iOS 7. Older iPod Touch models won't get it.
True-- the "make me dizzy" feature ;)
Huh? iOS is available for the iPhone 4.
No you don't have to upgrade your iPod Touch 5G to iOS 7. Just tell iTunes "no" if it offers to upgrade.
Lisa your explanations are always thorough, but seem geared toward the average consumer like me!

When I saw that I can't get iOS 7 for my iPod 4 I was like: FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
not sure if this was already mentioned but you can use multiple fingers to swipe up when closing apps in the multi task menu. my iphone5 i can close up to 3 apps at the same time. great video!

Lisa,i have the 5th gen Ipod touch.I luv it.Do i have to upgrade to the ios 7 or can i keep running the latest version i have?Thanks
Lisa, you are the best. You are so professional and knowledgeable.
Lisa, u r very quick to give a walkthrough. Thanks
Glad you're one of the first to review this
ios7 hasnt left my hand for 24 hours, impressive, but it's not a game changer in my opinion.
I just would like to send a big thanks to you. You have helped me make so many of my decisions regarding my phones. :-) and another great vid!
I dont think you can. Apple chose to disable it on the ipod touch for some unknown reason. You will have to wait for a jailbreak then find an app on cydia to enable battery percentage.
Another Brilliant Review by Lisa,theres none better :)
Good job. Starting to like build quality of iphone and iOS7 more and more.
i'm not experiencing any performance issues, either on older devices or newer ones. cheers.
Lisa, you should have talked about the lock screen bug.
Thanks!
Lisa, you forgot to mention iOS 7 has its own version of Live Wallpapers. Apple calls it Dynamic Wallpaper, and it reacts to how you move your device. The only thing available right now though is abstract circle patterns in different color schemes.
As always, Lisa is the best!
Please show me when and where Tim Cook said iOS 7 is "revolutionary."
Just a heads up, this iOS 7 upgrade is also available for the iPad 2. I haven't upgraded yet, but I've gotten the notification for it. It's already downloaded and ready to install.
So, older apps will still work on iOS7?? because i was holding back but if they work i am going to upgrade.
@nsmb it doesnt matter the resolution, a pentile display will never look as sharp as a non pentile display because its missing sub pixels
Hello.
I have an iPad mini (first generation).
I wanted to get a new iPad, it has to be 32GB (I need this amount of storage). I wont be buying the iPad Air because I would be spending more than $600.

What Im interested in knowing is "If I would need the new internals: processor and everything else."
Should I go for the iPad mini with retina or iPad 4?
By the way nice video.
you should get an ipad 4
Thanks, I am!
Nice one Lisa as always !
great review as usual lisa. thanks from an android user.
You make everything so simple. Thank you!
Good review Lisa, as always. Thank you
Lisa can i downgrade my ipad mini back to ios6? and if so will it affect the warranty of the device? thank you.
Made my iPad4 laggy. Even tried a factory reset. Fortunately I was able to revert to iOS6. Not ready IMHO.
My 5th gen iPod Touch occasionally lags and stutters more ever since the update. Its minial but it's kind of frustrating at times. I'm guessing its because of hardware limitations? I mean with only half a gig of ram and 2 processor generations behind (same as the 4S)... I wouldn't be so surprise. I do appreciate the update, not game-changing but it certainly works great. Hate the neon color palette though.
Updated my iPad 2 last night. IOS 7 works on that one too :)
Thank you Lisa for the tip! Yeah im not to savy on computers etc and im just getting used to the ipod,the way it is its just perfect.
On another note,by watching your vids you have made me pc electronic smarter!! :)
Can't believe I'm going to say this, but as a die hard Android user I'm honestly impressed with iOS 7!
Thanks for a really great and detailed review.
The icons are soo pretty
Please make a review of ios 7.1 on the First Gen iPad mini. I love your mobile tech reviews.
I hate the visual of ios7, but I do appreciate the new options.
I wish we could choose between the older icons/new icons.
First of all that Chinese MIUI is a custom ROM, that's a custom version of Android, not just a simple skin or theme, it's much more complex than that. And second, you're right, MIUI was specifically designed to mimic iOS, that's it's number one feature, so you could say that MIUI looks like iOS 7, not the other way around.
Love, Mike :)
I really like the look of the icons!
I hated iOS 7 at first...now I like it.
Thanks Lisa,great review again!!
great walkthrough
not upgrading.. for now
Can you do a viedo on how to setup ios 7 out of the box please
You love those features now, but you didn't like them before? Right?
We have them since long ago. And we have many more , that you gonna love them, in few years, too.
Like, even before Watching!
you're Awesome Lisa!
Awesome review, I really like ios 7 its so cool.
the IOS 7 update is also available for IPad 2
Ok, I'm hesitant about downloading IOS 7 I have a 2 nd gen ipad2 64 gb with 3G. This thing cost me way too much to get rid of it. So please just tell me is it ok to download iOS 7?
Great video. But my iPad 2 was able to update to ios7 too.
You should post a vid of warning for iPhone 4 users so they can see how laggy it is on 7.
Looking forward to getting my iPhone next week :)
@mrwarner neither one, get the note 2 instead because its the best phone out there
I've put it on my 4s and I hate it. It's too white and I hate the way it zooms in and out of apps. Why can't they give you customising options? Or a choice of icon shapes? I'm due an upgrade and this has made me question whether to go to Samsung.
It'll also run on the ipad 2 I'm running it right now
question. you said you can get iOS 7 on 4, 4s, and 5, and that 5s already comes with it. i'm going to be getting a 5 in the next couple weeks. do you think it would come preloaded with 7, or would still be running 6?
Thanks again Lisa for great wallkthrough
When good ideas spread it's a good thing!
Apple is playing catch up now. I'm no android fan, but these features are already available on my Samsung Wave with bada 2.0. And that's a 3 year old phone.
Love the new upgrade!
It's not really that different in terms of operation. They only added things jailbroken iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches have been able to do for years and a few new pretty aesthetics.
Universal search should have an option to search web.
Which is better sansung galaxy s4 or iphone 5s I need advice
Thanks James for the tips,yeah i like my ipod the way it,its just perfect for me :)
note 3 and s4 have that horrible pentile matrix so if you like nice sharp displays i would definitely pass on both
@mrduck i agree, samsungs build quality is excellent. some of the other brands phones start to fall apart like speaker grilles peeling off or seperation on the body, i dont have to mention a name because you know who you are
Of course they still work. If they don't, that would basically kill the appstore.
I love the ios 7 update.. it runs smoothly on my ipad 3. I love the multitasking and new ui and icons.. android did first all what apple has released in this update but i like it... no issues at all. But to be honestly i prefer android ui and system ...
love your vid Lisa
hey lisa please please answer me ....will u make a review of xperia z 1 please answer me
I like the live wallpaper :D
everyone one is complaining but in a few months they'll grow to like it. just like ios 6
I like and enjoy iOS 7. It's faster and easier to use, but I plan getting the LG G2 so can both the experience of apple and android
Nice try iboy. No lag there.
But we like the iCrush more and more.
I prefer my HTC one android phone over my iPhone and iPad but ios 7 is cool. Seems a bit like android in a way. I was able to get ios 7 on my iPad2 as well
Wow looks different compared to today
get the s4. the screen is much better and the battery is much bigger. And android is much more customizable and gaming will be better on s4 because of the screen. though I would recommend the note 3 which is coming out very soon. its more powerful and the screen is the best out of the 3.
Same features that android has had for a while. Nothing really new here. But I do like the interface it looks smoother.
Useful video, thanks!
Apple need to make Game Center friend limit 5,000 or more. The limit is 500 and i can't add nobody no more
You can also get it on the iPad 2
Hmm it looks like that Chinese MIUI skin for Android. Idk if I hate it or love it.
Whats with the neon colors? There was a way to make the icons flatter without having them hurt peoples eyes I'm sure smh!
It's a nice os. I like android still. I wish they would get swipe for the keyboard.
Works fine on my gf's iPad Mini which is basically a iPad 2 in smaller case.
iOS 7 iPhone 5/4S/4. iPad 2/3/Retina Display/Mini. correct?
My iPhone 5 lasts longer throughout the day than my HTC One did with battery saver on.
I think apple just took the WP7 approach and splashed color on it
Doesn't ipad 2 get ios 7 also?
NEW iOS devices get iWork for free, 5 snazzy apps like iMovie and iPhoto. Sucks because our iPad Mini isn't that OLD and I have to see if the App store will let us download it for free as Apple said on Sept 10th, new devices can get the suite of apps at no charge.

the camera still doesnt have a countdown? how do I search for a word in a web page text with safari? still cant open two applications at once?.....so you get it? those are useful features, who cares about the freggin icons and the keyboard!!
Unless Apple decides to upgrade the memory ram from 1GB to 2GB, don't expect multitasking.
I really Love IOS 7 UI if compare to IOS 6 UI that's look dull and boring in my Ipod touch
Very helpful! Thanks!
I like it! :) for the most part... oh, the new UI, that is.
I'm having a problem in Control Center where I can adjust volume and scrub through songs, but I can't skip forward or back through songs. What's wrong?
No actually I can say IOS 7 looks like MIUI which is heavily skinned Android just like Touch Wiz and whatnot. I've had IPhones before and remember the icons and translations being way different from IOS 4-6. I know what MIUI does and I was specifically referring to the Icons and some of the UI.
I always have choice. I can buy a new phone tomorrow if I want.
