Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 7 Slow? 488
New submitter PopHollywood writes "Is iOS 7 slower than version 6? After upgrading, myself and a few others notice slow, choppy experience when scrolling, changing apps, etc. Is this common?" For those using iOS in general, what's been your experience with the new upgrade?

you're scrolling it wrong.

A 'hard reset' is just a cold boot- it forces all apps and the OS to shut down immediately, and reboots the device. You do it by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down.
You seem to be referring to a Restore- that resets the device to factory settings, wiping all content. That's done through iTunes.
And if the problems came back when your backup was restored, then obviously there was something wrong with what was restored.
Or if you are really adventurous just stick a paper clip into your lightning connector and wiggle it around.

This is slashdot where the users get annoyed about having to wait 5 ms for a response, but don't care about having to wait days compile their own kernel and userspace to get things just they way they want them, only to have to do it all over again in three months.
Not on my iPad 2. (Score:4, Funny)
I'm running iOS 7.0 on my iPad 2 and did not experience any slowdown issues--in fact, Safari in iOS 7.0 renders web pages a lot faster than before.
However, I did see one noticeable issue: the graphical design--especially the text fonts--don't look good on an iPad 2 with its lower-resolution screen. I've seen the final iOS 7.0 on an 4th-generation iPad and thanks to its "Retina Display" resolution touchscreen, it does look really good.
