Anyone with Apple devices update yet? What are your thougts? I'm getting ready to update mine so we'll see how it goes. I'm expecting it to take an hour (maybe more) since today is the first day. Here goes nothing...
iOS 7

Took me about an hour, it kept failing and giving me an error message. Most likely Apples servers are overloaded.
So far I like it, but its nothing earth-shattering. The camera effects are pretty interesting.

I got it, but I prefer the old one.
It does feel a little cartoony. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it and soon not know the difference.
You guys should also specify what device you're updating, 4S, 5, etc...

Just finished updating my iPhone 5. It's definitely different. Very Android-ish which I guess is what they were going for. It's not bad though.
working on it now. 33 min left for downloading. Darn slow internet!

Updated iPhone 5, iPad w/Retina (i always forget the official name), and an iPad 2. iPad 2 has the fewest features, but includes all the major changes i think. I haven't messed too much with any of it yet.

After playing around for a while the new update is actually pretty cool. I like the look of it. I really like the multitask and control panel.
I spent about an hour updating my iPhone 4. I hate iOS7. It is extremely slow and looks awful.

Sorry to hear that Matt. Hopefully it'll get better the more you get used to it.
Another use for teenagers, they updated my 4s for me. Which is why I don't know how to do it myself - they are enablers do you hear me?
The calendar function I live by and this does not have the ability to see the "List" that the old one did. Even at my age, I'll adapt.
It does seem cartoony, perfect word for it. Another way to look at it is it is brighter, clearer.

Updated two iPhone 5's and an iPad mini. I'm really liking the new look and features. Lots of neat stuff. Planning on ordering two 5S tomorrow at midnight too. That fingerprint sensor is too cool to pass up. Even SWMBO demanded that I order one for her.

Nice. The 5S is tempting but I think I will hold out until the 6. Hopefully the screen will be a little bigger and who knows what else Apple will roll out for it.
sadly I am not as impressed with iOS 7 as i thought i would be.
I like the new sounds and ringtones, although I'll just pick one and never change it.
I like the multitasking and the new way to close apps.
Deleting email will take getting used to since you swipe to the left now.
I don't like the keyboard.
I think it is to bright. with almost everything being white background. I turned the brightness way down and that helps.
The swipe up features are great. flashlight, calc., wifi, bluetooth, I really like how you don't have to go in to settings anymore for those. or swipe to the screen to find the calc app.
I dislike more about this iOS than I ever have in any iOS.
Also....is it just me or do some of the backgrounds move as you move your phone around? specifically the one that looks like a wooden rooftop.

How well does it work on the iPad 2? Any performance issues?
I updated my 5 and my wife's 4s, I kinda of like it although I haven't really had time to play with it!

It's my understanding that they should all move around. Its a feature called parallax. Pretty neat. I like that its suddle and not too over the top. If you don't like it there's an option to reduce its effect. I think its under accessibility settings.
