For the past few days I have been trying to help a few of my not so savvy friends figure out a way to downgrade their iphones to ios 6... unfortunately Apple has made this (next to) impossible. I was patient enough to wait and see what (if any) the problems of the new os would be and damn if it has not turned out to be Apple's worst flop since their Performa series of computers. This is comparable to windows' vista and I fear it is only going to get worse.
The following is a quote from another blog but it sums up my feelings and experience with my gal pals phone... which she now detests!
"iOS 7 is nothing more than design fad over function. Completely at odds with the (now apparently previous) Apple design ethic.
Apple marketing can try adding lipstick to this pig all they want, but it is simply childish, user-unfriendly, and exhibits outright contempt for customers’ wishes. When they can’t even figure out readable color combinations for text versus background, I have to SERIOUSLY question the competence of the post-Jobs Apple. If they stubbornly defend this disaster and refuse to admit their mistake I am going to Android. Trashing an entire company for a stupid design fad…amazing."
Anyways... I know this is late... but if you have an iphone and have not upgraded yet...DON'T... or at the very least, read up on it and see what almost 99% of users are saying about it... (They fucking hate it!)
...And if there are any of you out there that can offer advice or are in a similar situation... please let me know if you discover a way to restore back down to ios 6 should Apple continue to ignore the pleas of what once was a loyal customer base. I suppose we will see... I for one feel that their arrogance has out distanced their integrity.
After over 20 years... they are losing me.
