iOS6
iOS7 looks like it was designed by Fisher-Price...
Agree on the aesthetic look comment but, the iOS7 for me when it eventually all works properly, by which time it will have been jailbroken and iOS 8 won't be far away
Got a tip for us?

That's me when I go to turn off my alarms in the morning. Thanks for sharing that!
iOS 6 for speed, music app, app switching, battery life, stability. Speed more than anything.... Even my iPad 1 is faster on iOS 5 because of the lack of delays.
iOS 7 for crisp fonts/keyboard, safari, top row of control centre toggles. I can't think of anything else.
iOS 7 all the way.
iOS 6 is dull, boring, less functional, grumpy old iOS that belongs to the past.

Right, but no matter how functional and amazing something is, if it now lasts less than it did before and does suddenly without warning at random times, that alone pretty much undercuts quite a bit of any amazing things it can do.

So far what mainly people have ask for to fix in iOS7 has been.
I think that iOS8 will be one most everyone will be happy with...
Hello to all
iOS6 - 7 offers very little in functionality I would want to sacrifice usability for.
For sure I don't like it and I'm looking forward for a quick fix by Apple.
But surely I don't regret the update.
So true..Love the functionality of the 7 but absolutely hate the design.
A brief glance at the new Pages,Numbers and Keynote icons drives me up the wall.
Same goes for the other icons, but for these three I have a special "things that I most hate in life" place in my heart...
Please Apple, can we have somewhere a "Turn off ugly mode" switch?
Pleaaaseeee....

Side note: today I went at an Apple store to buy a cover for my friend's 5c and I did notice all iPhones had old version of Pages, Numbers and Keynote, with old icons.
Very strange ....
Why?
The updates in Pages,Numbers and Keynote do not come as a part of iOS update, so you can have the old icons even in iOS7 provided you have not turned on the automatic app updates or did not updated them yourself...
Too bad I did not see the new icons before updating.....sigh.....
Which reminds me to turn off the automatic updates ASAP, don't know about you but if the new version of iBooks looks anything like the News stand, it will be unbearable....
Why ??? I did expect apple show latest version of their own software in an Apple Store !!!Why?

Probably the store staff decided those new icons were far too ugly and will in fact have a negative impact on the sales...
Good boys!

New icons are much more coherent with the iOS, so it's a nonsense ....

Having used iOS 7 for about two weeks now, I'm going to vote iOS 7. I still prefer the visual "steel and glass" style of iOS 6, but iOS 7 is just more functional.
The iOS 7 WiFi driver works (iOS 6 WiFi was painfully slow on my iPhone 5).
Control Center is enormously useful for accessing stuff like WiFi on/off, flashlight, and music player functions.
Being able to allow/deny Cellular Data to specific apps is useful if you're like me and have a limited data allocation. Being able to see which apps use a lot of data is also interesting and good for learning how to conserve mobile data.
In short, iOS 7 makes my phone easier to use. I can forgive some of the garish icons, which I have hidden in a folder anyways!

IOS 6. IOS 7 reminds me of a 1st grade science project with a bright flashlight. So bright that it blinds you but the batteries go dead in minutes.
