    One or two little graphical jitters now and then, and there's a bug that makes changing wallpapers take about 20 seconds, but other than that it's great.
    What will your verse be?

    All hell's breaking loose over at the Apple Support forums because iOS7 has knackered their iPads. I'm avoiding it like the plague until the bugs are all ironed out in version 7.02 t least, it's too risky especially when Apple don't allow you to downgrade back to iOS6 even though there is a way to do it but you have to be quick.

    I've got an iPad 2 so I've been looking for info about this too, and from what I've read people have had mostly good experiences. But personally I'm going to leave it until 7.0.1 at least, just in case. Also I have no space to download it now even if I wanted to upgrade! I need to finish a load of games so I can delete them!

    Posting this from my iPad2 running iOS7.

    Have also upgraded an iPad3, iPhone 4S & 5
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Any issues like lagging or higher battery drain? Do all your apps work OK? Do you like the new UI, some have said it looks a bit "Early Learning Centre".

    It does seem like it's a lottery whether you get any issues or not, which is usual for Apple updates.
