Heads up: iOS7 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch released later today

[tarasis]

Not quite as Gert said.

There is a new OS for Macs coming but that isn't till next month (it's called 10.9 Mavericks). There is a minor update to the existing version available now (released the other week, 10.8.5).

iOS 7, the new OS for iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches is only available for "newer" devices.

iPad 2-4
iPad Mini
iPhone 4,4S, 5 and the new 5c & 5s
iPod Touch 5th+ (IIRC)

Basically the iPhone, iphone 3, iPhone 3GS & iPad are not powerful enough (nor have enough internal memory) for the new OS. The original iPad did get some upgrades in its lifetime .

I have iPad 1 Rob.

That is right. I just downloaded the 10.8.5 the other day.

Thanks for the heads up, have download new version today. I can't tell the difference yet apart from layout but no doubt a few things wills be revealed shortly

[gertbysea]

Spending this morning tweeting my devices. The new airdrop will be handy. When MF returns from her travels and updates her system on her iPad she will be able to send multiple photos instead of one at a time with the new Air Drop.

CP you will find you will have to go through all your settings and Re adjust them. Lots of new wallpaper, sounds and ringtones.

Is any one else finding the new operating system better. I am loving the new camera buttons and photo sorting.

Love how it sorts my photos, and the camera button, haven't quite workout how to use the panorama setting, only tried it once. Still lots to learn.

[gertbysea]

The photo thing is great. Now you can just select first then toss them into albums. Much easier.

I haven't done mine yet. I looked at DD's at got scared off. I will have a good look at hers and then do mine.

[tarasis]

It's interesting to see other people's reactions to it. I've got well used to it now after 3 months of using it.

Haven't tried FaceTime Audio yet.

I am a bit sad. No upgrade available for my ancient IPhone 3s. Am whinging very loudly to DH, but its falling on deaf ears!

[meganjane]

Oh dear, time to upgrade, Kimmy!

I quite like it. I have a 4 and I like the 'cleanness' of the icons and the clearer keyboard. Only thing I'm not happy with is the calendar. It's not as clear as previously.

[gertbysea]

I agree about the look of the calendar but i do like the scrolling,

Gert

[CreamPuff63]

Yeah! The calendar - I thought that was just me. I took a photo using the panoramic and sent it to my DS and he said "mum  that's not new" (it was to me tho ha ha). I then took a pic using all the different focus's - I've never see that before, but its probably not new either. The screen seems to have a higher definition although I'm not sure if thats an illusion due to the new layout. I like what I see so far.
