It's not like you can't go anywhere if you are dissapointed with the new "flat" design, plenty of options nowdays and most of them are pretty good, so wait, decide, stay or move on ...
lol @ the S4 is another level. It's a fine phone to be certain...but it's just a polished S3.
Apparently all the rumored crap online about iOS 7 is inaccurate.
I have 30 days left on my developer's account before it must be renewed. I hope to get the 7.0 beta before my account expires.

They said the same thing for the iPhone 4S.
Again? Same design? Nothings change but a few features internally. People hated it when it was announced yet everyone still bought it and ended up being a very successful predecessor to the 4.
Sure you can hate on ios 7 when it first comes out but I know as soon as the official update comes out all of you will be running it on your phones.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And it make sense to switch ecosystems if the one you’re currently subscribed to isn't meeting your needs.
With that said, how functional can a split screen/dual app process be on a 4" screen? Infrared beam? Really? I’m guessing that you should go ahead and pack your bags now ... cause that stuff ain’t coming to an iPhone near you or me anytime soon.
You're right, a 4 inch screen with the iphone 5 being as narrow as it is won't accommodate multi window split screen the way a bigger screen does. That's why I never liked the screen size increase in the 5. it just wasn't enough. Reading anythig is just easier on a bigger screen. So is viewing maps. Hard to argue that smaller is better or even as efficient.
I have an audio receiver, tv, cable box, AC, Ceiling fan and LED color changing light bulbs all controlled via IR... and that's just in the living room. Why wouldn't you welcome an IR on your next iPhone?
So I gather the general perception is.. If one is not happy with the latest apple phone or OS, there's always a choice to switch. This is true except that I was really rooting for Apple all along. I made the lines in years past, high fived everyone because there was nothing like an iPhone at one point. I never thought about making a switch, not even when the S3 was out. But now android 4.2 + GS4 has really caught up in every aspect. Even further, their OS is just a LOT more customizable than ours. I like iOS i really do, but theirs just does more.
I actually prefer the iPhone 5 screen... especially the form factor. It?s a 4" screen that is still manageable with one hand.
Personally, I have no need for IR, and it?s old technology. The Palm Pilot and Palm Treo used IR to connect with devices... not something that I ever see Apple adding to its devices.
Again, I have been using iOS devices for 3 years, and have no desire to look elsewhere - at least not now. It important to find what works for you... and to have options... good luck with whatever choices you make going forward.
Two things... if you?re a developer, why wouldn?t you renew? You need to continue supporting your apps, right? And secondly, you might be able to squeeze a couple of beta releases out of the next 30 days - probably the first beta for sure... but after that, what are you going to do? Restore and go back to 6.1.3?

Because I'm willing and able to get up and change these things by hand . . .

anyone notice that the yahoo weather app update was *almost* a preview of what to expect in iOS 7 as far as look and feel??
