Anyone update yet?
Worth it?
Worth it IMO. I like the improved notifications, family sharing,
improved mail app (emails from new people can be easily added to contacts, better swipe controls, "notify me" feature, etc.)
The Health app looks overwhelming but I like that it automatically tracks all your steps and movement.
I want to get a fitness tracker band to connect to it. One of the biggest updates is Extensibility- aka as the ability for apps
to natively interact with one another. This feature won't be so apparent/used upon iOS 8 release, but should be
extremely helpful as time goes on.
Third party keyboards, finally. A small update but one that is awesome, Touch ID will be usable for third party apps.
There are also a bunch of tiny updates that I've stumbled upon but weren't noteworthy enough to remember.
I think the battery life has gotten worse with this update, but I believe mainly because they adjusted the auto-brightness setting to be too bright.
This better be fixed.
Some nice new features. Doesn't look like the "bigger upgrade ever". Seems like mostly minor enhancement.
It wasn't advertised/marketed as the biggest update ever, nor should a company overhaul their entire OS with every update.
The iOS 7 overhaul will obviously overshadow this update, but IMO this is either the 2nd or 3rd biggest updates they've ever released,
even though it's not readily apparent. Extensibility will probably be the main reason why.
Most of the updates were baked into the existing UX or added into app menus .
