Apple iOS 7 update now out and ready for download

Apple finally released their latest major OS update , the iOS 7. The release represents the most significant cosmetic revamp iOS ever has since the iPhone was introduced in 2007.

We rummaged thru our storage to get a hand on an iPhone 5 and run the update very early this morning. The update is supposed to be 752MB (which is already huge) but you will need an extra space of at least 3.1GB in order to install it.

`

There were reports that a lot of people are getting error results while downloading the update which prompted them to repeat the process for dozens of time (were were lucky we only did it after 2 tries). If you get lucky, the download will take about 15-20 minutes and another 15 minutes to install it.

To update, in your iOS devices, just go to Settings -> General and select Software Update.

Check out our initial comments about iOS 7 here.

    ios7 looks good. I like the design and everything but what I noticed it made my battery drain so easily and faster than before upgrading to ios7. Plus, the slow motion when you tap button or keypad, this cant help you when you’re typing in a hurry mode or let say during emergencies. Hope Apple can fix this.

    anyways.. uhm napansin nio po ba na sa iphones/ipod-touch, ipad 4 at mini lang meron yung “BLUR + TRANSPARENCY” effects..

    did a research at ang sabi sa Beta 4 meron daw nun sa lahat ng pwedeng mag-upgrade to iOS 7.. ouch naman na tinanggal nila un sa ipad 2 & 3.. parang windows 8 tuloy ung feel dahil “less transparency” lang yung meron…

    asan na ung design aesthetic na sinabi nila. :( sana i-consider nila at i-fix sa next updates.

    bakit basta may major update ang apple o kahit anumang article na related sa apple, kitang kita mo ang bitternes ng mga fandroids sa mga comments nila.

    pero pag related sa android ang article, di naman yata bitter ang mga apple fans. tahimik lang sila.

    ehem!

    sa mga fans pa lang, kitang kita mo na ang malaking pagkakaiba. Makikita mo talaga kung anong klaseng nilalang sila, at least kung ibabase sa mga posts nila.

    ibig bang sabihin nun, broad-minded and/or well educated lang talaga ang mga apple fans?

    nagtatanong lang… :D

      Bitter din yang mga iTards. Kaya lang tahimik kasi tanga at hindi makapagsalita ng maayos.

      Let’s put it this way, android fans will be android fans, Apple fans will be Apple fans. There there are hardcore Android users, the same goes for Apple. We’re entitled to our opinions and comments, those who prefer to keep silent doesn’t mean they’re more educated. These facts will remain, regardless.

      In my personal opinion, Android users are more opinionated because Android is an open OS.

      And food for thought, iOS and Android trace their roots to Unix. While Android is allowed installation on non-Android, Apple/iOS is not.

      Baka nosebleed ka, copy paste mo sa google translate :p

      @Fanboy’

      Weehh!!??

      Ayaw ko sa google translate eh, gusto ko sa bing translate.

      ehem!

      sige lang, i-justify mo pa! :D

      sabi nga..

      “ang tubig kapag matining, arukin mo at malalim. pero kapag ito ay maingay, arukin mo at mababaw”

      sang-ayon? o agree?

    • Avatar for amasono amasono says:

      tanga daw oh, di masyado halata na tanga ka sa style ng pagpost mo, weeeeh?!

      sabagay, galit daw ang tanga sa kapwa nya tanga. haha!

      sige lang, todo depensa lang.. karapatan mo yan!

      “ang tubig kapag matining, arukin mo at malamim. pero kapag ito ay maingay, arukin mo at mababaw”

      Sapol ba?
      Ilag ilang din kahit walang time. :D

      FanBoy, apple experience nga apple sucks, try again pa rin ang download until 4am. Ng madownload ko two hours sa bagal. Sa bb10 at android 4.2.2 wla pa 5 minutes, dowload to reboot-full re start, new os na. FYI gumagamit ako apple, but sorry, if one is accustomed using sports car, you find a sarao jeepney just plain christmas tree with nothing to brag about. Apple iphone is sarao jeepney for me. Sorry.

      Boybakat, I live in valle verde. Lte ang broadband ko.

      Just sharing my angst. Dont get offended apple fans, you god is your god. I would not mind it.

      To me, a cellphone is just a cellphone regardless of brand. If I want to play games, I could always use my playstation or my qosmio hooked in 3d toshiba flat panel and pioneer elite dolby home theater.

      I also use ipad and mac air for plain browsing the net. But I prefer my vaio pro for more demanding internet odd jobs, and my tablet z for ebook reading. Ok.

      Nakakatawa naman talaga tong mga android users. Tinatawanan niyo na nag ooverload ung apple server sa mga nag uupdate sa ios7? Eh malamang hindi niyo naranasan un. hindi naman kasi nagkaka OTA,
      kung meron man isang beses niyo lang mararamdaman un. swerti pa kayo sa lagay na iyon.

      “To me, a cellphone is just a cellphone regardless of brand.” – I agree with you on this :)

      “Eh malamang hindi niyo naranasan un. hindi naman kasi nagkaka OTA, kung meron man isang beses niyo lang mararamdaman un. swerti pa kayo sa lagay na iyon.” – Ay, okay. Sabi mo eh. lol. Obviously wala ka alam sa Android, wala kwenta, pointless kung makipag talo/discusyon/makipag ano ano pa sa iyo :p
