Installing iOS7.0 on iPhone 5

[drjones]

Ok, so last night I met up with a couple friends for dinner/drinks & got to play pretty extensively with their iPhone *5* with iOS 7.

iOS 7 on the iPhone 5 is objectively SLOWER at launching most apps, compared to my iP5 running iOS6.

BOTH my friends who loaded iOS7 onto their 5 HATE the new OS, in particular..........the calendar.

Again, as with on the iPad, Apple removed the Month view, where you can not only see an overview of the entire month, but can tap on any individual day to get a list of all appts. scheduled for that day.

I still hate the new multitasking, it is nowhere near as fast & easy as the old way, AND you see fewer open apps at once than before.

Overall, they hate it & wish they could get back to iOS6, I'm happier than heck I didn't upgrade and still really regret putting it onto my iPad.

I must be missing something here but my Ipad calendar is fine?? I have, day, week, month, year views?

If I tap on the magnifying glass it lists all my appointments and I can scroll through them?

Decision made, going to stay on IOS 6 on my iPhone 4.

Decision made, going to stay on IOS 6 on my iPhone 4. There are ways you can downgrade http://www.macworld.com/article/2049091/unhappy-with-ios-7-downgrade-while-you-still-can.html

You can't downgrade. First paragraph in the article you linked.

Update Don't say I didn't warn you. It seems that Apple has indeed stopped signing versions of iOS prior to version 7. Therefore, until a technique emerges that allows you to skirt Apple's restrictions, those who have upgraded their devices to iOS 7 can no longer revert to an earlier version of the operating system.
