I am still running iOS 6 on my phone. I heard mixed reviews. If you have 7 do you like it?

What can I do next?

I've had 7 for a couple weeks or so. It's ok. Still getting used to it.
I don't like change, but I don't hate 7.

We downloaded the 7 and had no issues whatsoever. We also downloaded the 7.0.2 that came out to fix any bugs but again, we had no issues with either one and yes we like it.

Now, I have heard that some people ended up losing all data on the phone, etc. We did make sure we were completely backed up before we started.

I did = no issues and I actually like it.
Son did = wifi button greyed out (google it), phone had to be replaced. Luckily still under warranty if not it would have been purchasing a new phone to get wifi. On his new phone he refuses to download it.
Wife has not.
Like others have said make sure you have a back up on iTunes and you'll be fine.

When you update you will be asked about setting an access password. Remember it!!! If you don't, you will get locked out and getting back in is a huge headache. It happened to my husband's iPad. Apple customer service was no help unless he was willing to pay quite a bit of money. We finally took it into an Apple store and they got it unlocked only by restoring it to its original settings. He lost all of his pictures and has had to redownload every app and all of his music on at a time.

I updated on my ipad, not on my iphone.

I like some of it on the ipad, other things not so much. I LOVE the new calendar. But I am hesitant to switch on my phone, just because I am familiar and comfortable with the old OS and when I am using my phone, I am usually in a hurry and out and about somewhere, where ease of use and familiarity makes things happen faster. At home, when I have time, I don't mind having to think about what I am doing a little more.

I may update eventually. My son loves it.

Two out of three of us updated, me being hold out.

The two who went for it are having trouble with their iMessage, which is a problem because we are big texters. So they shut off the iMessage features and just going with regular texts.

I'm hoping this issue will be worked out before I update.

Plus they both claim it drains their batteries faster. Otherwise they like it.

We have it on the phone and on the kids' ipods. It's ok. There isn't a huge difference in how things are running. Some of the graphics are better, others are worse. I don't think it makes a huge difference, but eventually you'll have to upgrade anyway since newer apps and app upgrades eventually won't be supported by the older system. So why not do it sooner rather than later.

We didn't have any problems at all with the install and running it. I work as a tech advisor at a library and people had some issues with some of the apps at first. By now most of the apps probably have ironed out any bugs that were caused by the upgrade. Just make sure that you update all your apps too once you have installed IOS 7.

My husband and I both have upgraded.
Mine went off without a hitch. My husband was one of the unfortunate ones that had it all go wrong and lost stuff off his phone.
What I highly recommend is make sure you have a backup of everything on your computer, not the cloud. When you plug in your phone to the computer make sure you download all pictures to your computer. We've had the cloud eat pictures before. I think the reason mine went without a hitch is because I sync to Outlook and my computer. I did all the backups and told it to only download, not install the new ios before proceeding.
IOS7 has it's good and it's completely annoying. I'm still trying to fiddle with all the settings because it really likes to do everything by default.
