Updated iPad, iPad mini and phone and found that I can no longer AirPrint and the batteries are taking a hammering. I started a thread about this subject on the 19th but it just seemed to disappear. I would suggest people wait before updating. It's very different.

It was my internet mobile banking that had me cussing! I honed them and they said their computer screens were warning there were problems. Sorted now, but don't like the new layout.
Agree the torch feature on phone may be useful!

Have iPad mini! The iphone4 was fine. 'Twas the iPad I had probs with!

Updated my iPad and phone and have found no problems. Rather like the fact that my phone now is a torch as well, but I am easily pleased smile

I suppose I thought I was supposed to. Very annoyed with myself.

Advice about upgrading to iOS 7 from Apple:

Should I update?
Just because your device is compatible doesn't mean it should be upgraded right away. Once you update your device to iOS 7, there is no going back to iOS 6 or whichever earlier iOS you were running. (Yes, there are unofficial ways to downgrade, but these are not recommended for regular iPhone and iPad users.)
If you are not in a rush, wait a few weeks or months until Apple releases the first updated version of iOS 7. The early releases of the operation system can include bugs that should be addressed with subsequent iOS 7 updates. Let other eager people spend the next few weeks finding and reporting these issues so you don't have to deal with them.
Older devices can experience frustrating performance issues when upgraded to a new OS. The iOS 7 software was designed specifically for the hardware that's faster than your trusty old iPhone 4. If your device is anything older than the most recent generation, it might suddenly slow down, and battery life can suffer.
This should not be as much of a problem for newer devices, such as the iPhone 5, 4th generation iPad and iPad Mini, or the latest iPod Touch. If you are worried about performance issues, skip the update.
Updating immediately is recommended only for tech-savvy early adopters who are comfortable with the risks.

I did it this morning and I hate it and I can't undo and I've forgotten my pass word. Oh J0's rude words many times over.

I daren't after all I've read so far. I'll think about it in a couple of weeks when I know more.
