Hi,

iOS7 from Apple will be available for download on Wednesday 18th of September 2013.

The update will be available for :

Now is the time to carry out some homework on this release, as its not just an update to iOS6 , its a full UI overhaul.

Ensure your idevice battery is 80% +

If your low on internal memory then think about deleting unused apps, music, videos, pictures, tones and e mails etc, to allow the update to proceed.

First update your iTunes to the newest availabe version.

You can achieve this by opening up iTunes and clicking on.... 'Check for Updates'

Carry out a sync of your idevice.

Then create a back up to iTunes and iCloud, or both.

Then when you hook up your idevice to iTunes and click on the device name, if the iOS7 update is available, you will see the appropriate message saying so.

Be patient as Apples servers will be maxed out, and as such the update may not be available to you at first. Keep checking.

Ensure you have left enough down time for the update to complete.

Sit back and wait  

Any users who have jail-broken their idevices are advised to abstain from updating.

If you receive a spam call, you can click an 'i' (which replaces the arrow) and if you swipe up there is an option to 'block this caller'.

You can block txts and calls from numbers. Handy little feature.

Can't trust the cloud, if an app as been shifted off itunes, it's no longer in your purchase list either -what a nuisance! (Found that after deleting some apps to make room for my ios7 installation)

Luckily I have most apps on my desktop but had to update itunes to 11.1 before I could connect my ipad! (could I find the help/update NO, until I found the hidden panel)

Pain in rear-end!

Took me up to a dozen attempts to get ios 7. Not particularly exciting. Need sunglasses as so bright white!

I'm loving the photo list structure now. Its all date specific.

I really like the new lock-screen swipe function too. However I'm not so sure about the new look of the text messaging app. What do you guys think?

What don't you like about the text messaging app Toby ?

I upgraded last night without any problems, but this morning have found I've lost access to mobile data/Internet. I conncects to WiFi no problem, but I've got nothing outside of that. Anyone have any suggestions on this before I take it to a store? Cheers
