Do not panic. iOS 7 is still in beta!

The presentation of a new operating system made ​​in Apple, is always an important event that moves views and opinions in a positive and negative as it should be. Especially with iOS 7, we are witnessing a real battle of opinions, where more or less all agree to call it a first important step ahead of iOS 6, but not without some say, against defects and questionable design choices.

Let's take a cue from an article by iDownloadBlog to some reflections on the new mobile operating system from Apple. It 'pretty obvious that iOS 7 can not be described as innovative, as most of the new features are simply the result of a design and usability designed to respect the spirit of the original operating system, according to Apple, drawing liberally to known aspects users of other OS. But as stated in other articles, the UI for touch-screen devices, are now the result of years of study and improvements, so it is really hard to offer something really new that does not come at the expense of usability, or that distorts the spirit of the operating system.

Today, however, we would like to dwell on another aspect of the question, in fact iOS 7 is moving a true media fuss on the web, where most of the ongoing discussions do not take into account the unique key that if remembered, would be enough to stifle any debate addressed early. iOS 7 is still a beta , and as such can not be weighed on a par with a final-release.

The problem lies in the simplicity with which it was possible to access using a developer account, without the usual control devices normally utilized by Apple, which is essential in order to make the installation of iOS 7 beta. So the first few minutes that followed the release, many have been able to install iOS 7 on their own terminals , and do not want to judge this aspect of the question, because it is absolutely normal and acceptable curiosity that revolves around the new release, how to draw ' attention to some aspects that many people forget when using a beta version.

There has been a lot of talk about the design choices for the icons of iOS 7. Love and hate, we can not say with certainty that represent the actual appearance of the final version will propose. As reported in recent days, the Apple website showed different icons for a few hours, then replaced by those in the version, then we should not be surprised if there will be significant changes on this side.

Another argument heard for the incompatibility apps , where many people are having abnormal operation or total crash of some. This too is an aspect that is normal for a beta release, and for this reason the developers are working to make compatible the old applications.

As for the battery life with iOS 7 , the first findings are not at all positive and in many complain a big difference with iOS 6, in the negative sense of course. Here also we can not express ourselves and discussion leaves things as they are. These evaluations may be done only in the presence of a final version of the operating system, the same goes for the many incompatibilities with iPhone 4 does not seem to work where and animated backgrounds, nor the effects of parallax, and in general seem to be missing the animations you see on the next iPhone.

We know that others will follow beta version, where new fixes will be implemented and maybe more bugs come to life, but if we keep in mind that the preliminary version would be reserved for developers who use their expertise to support the growth of the system until the resolution of all problems, we already have the answer in your pocket. We therefore recommend to all those who feel dissatisfied with the performance of the iPhone with iOS 7, to take a step back and re-install iOS 6, pending further developments.

Do not rush and keep in mind that most of the problem encountered with the first version, they will disappear with the official release of iOS7.
