I have not decided yet.
I waited for almost a year and a half of my Pre & bought an iphone 4s specifically because i liked the look. I very much don't like that way windows looks with all it's flat tones and text. So ios 7 is a jarring, unwanted shock. Also my phone is used primarily for playing music and podcasts. The music app is important. I'll never use radio, i don't have content from itunes, i don't use match. I just have a large 64gb phone. So my big concern will be changes to the music interface. If menu navigation has changed in a way that makes using the phone music player a pain i'll be disappointed. Like when i had a pre, it was hard to navigate by genre, you just got a massive list of alphabetized songs. With thousands and thousands of songs that's a useless mode. Better it go genre, artist, album, then song. So having not seen that i'll have to wait and see. I just don't know yet. I may load the beta just to see. But i've already bookmarked how to roll back to ios 6 for the future and i've already saved the current ios 6 firmware on my hard drive. I'll have to figure out if there's more i have to do just to be safe. i like some of the feature in ios 7 but they've gutted the looks of it the major reason i got the phone. It's honestly made me reconsider if i'll buy an android phone next time around but the thing is i'm not buying a new phone in the next 7 or 8 months anyways so I have time to see if i change my mind, see if ios 7 grows on me or see if i can change it to make it work for me. Like maybe jailbreak skins come out removing some flatness. Honestly i know nothing about skinning ios or if it's possible but i once saw what i thought were skins that you could install in jailbroken. What i really wish is they'd have given us multiple ios skins and we could simply go into settings and change the look of ios.
