If you have iOS7 you need to disable the 3D effect for the tiles to conserve battery life. It is a huge energy consumer. Go to settings----> General ----> Accessibility ------> Reduce Mtion set to ON.
When off, the tiles appear to float on the screen if you rotate the phone vertically side to side.

If you want to save battery life you should turn off the auto updates to apps running in the background.

That about the rate in which that "feature" would use energy. It is absurd to include something so unnecessary that uses that much power.

I have an iPhone 4 and it was my first Apple product.
No one has the "touch" that Apple has with their devices and it works perfectly fine, so not sure why everyone seems to be ripping Apple these days.

If you haven't tried it out yet, iTunes Radio is pretty awesome.

I listened to it briefly and ended up buying one of the first songs played. I found another way to discover new music.

Coworker just told me that if you press and hold the volume down button in the camera app you will take continuous pictures. Also, phone will track your location and summarize it for you unless you turn off the feature.

not sure why everyone seems to be ripping Apple these days. Because Steve Jobs died! Because Apple is evil and fascist (especially pertaining to app development - definite control issues) Wait, maybe that is why so many compliance officers like Apple

As a person who has one of each, I can easily say I prefer Android's user interface, apps, and functionality a thousand times more than my work iPhone.

I'm just the opposite of mani. Had the android and hated it. Love my iPhone and find it way easier to use. It all comes down to personal preference.

How funny! I think I like the Androids better because I was a blakberry user prior, so the interface felt familiar to me.

My previous phone was one of those ones with wheels and the smiley face that you could drag around on the carpet and it made funny noises when you spun the rotary dial thing. Good times were had, but I never found a single compatible app!
I've been on hotel wireless all week, so haven't been able to download it yet. I may or may not get around to doing it this weekend though.

I know much of this discussion has been focused on the iPhone but I hope someone may be able to help with a iPad issue. I updated to IOS 7 and got a confirmation that the update was successful - then the instructions said that my iCloud needed to update - followed the instructions and it kept going back to the welcome screen without updating. After a few tries I got a message that my iCloud access was disabled and would no longer function. So now even though I can access the app store, internet, etc. I cannot download anything at all or even view documents or listen to music. I went to the settings to try to find a way to fix the problem but had no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much.
