A day with iOS 7

Updated my iPhone 5 (well, used to be my iPhone) to iOS 7 and spent a day with it. Been taking some calls, snapping some pictures, browsing some web and etc. with it and so far so good... Let's sum up a litle abou the good and the bad I feel about it:

The good:
1. Overall looks good in terms of graphic
2. Still smooth as usual, but a few glitches now and then which should iron out nicely in next update
3. Camera app is better than ever
4. Seems to be some improvement in terms of battery life
5. Hiding the spotlight search is a welcome move instead of wasting a page for it
6. Like the new font very much
7. Control center is very neat
8. Multi tasking is good too
9. New gesture of swipe really handy
10. The new safari is freakingly good

The bad:
1. No toggle for cellular on/off in control center!
2. The battery icon looks like condom at first glance
3. The animation takes longer time than expected, looks nice but I prefer something faster
4. Parallax effect... Who will so free to look at the home screen...
5. The bottom icon row is not as nice as the old glass effect one...

Well, these are my thoughts so far. Will share more when I use it more over time.
