Installed it on Wifes phone since mine is still jailbroken. Some good and some bad.

Just finished installing it, took a while to install and just started messing around. Seems ok so far.

Too afraid to do this to my jail-broken 4. I am reading horror stories about them getting "bricked" during/after the upgrade.

My wife and I share our Apple ID for movies and music. But now we can assign on and see each other's text messages that we send and receive. Bit of a lame feature. Now I will simply not text people because my wife will have the ability to turn on texts on her phone of my number unknowingly.

So far so good, I like it. It's very slick and smooth, it certainly feels like an upgrade and not a downgrade or loss of functionality.

The AirDrop is pretty cool and works well!

I just performed the install on my 4S. So far I'm not seeing any performance related issues. The design is slick but not too unfamiliar.

I haven't played around with some of the new features quite yet so I'll pass judgement on that later. I'm also not getting the slow keyboard some have reported on the 4's, which is good.

I like it. Could've gone a little edgier on the design, but it is easy on the eyes, and fairly easy to read as well.

The dynamic text sizing in the settings menu lets you choose more than just 3 sizes, which is nice.

Finally a built in flashlight, which is epic.

Other than that, same old.

I like it a lot. I've been using the GM (gold master) release for a couple weeks now and it's been great. It took some getting used to as some of the gestures are different, but now that I've played with it this whole time, I'm happy with the changes they made. I'm using it on a 4S btw.

I just hope they add some themes for the next update. I am happy with the current theme, but newbs around me won't stop complaining lol.

That's because millions upon millions of people tried to update their phone at the same time and it over loads Apple's servers. My girlfriend started her update yesterday at about 2pm, against my advice, and her phone bricked in the process. However, it actually restarted on it's own still with 6.1.3 on there. I got to her at 5:30pm and restarted the update and it didn't finish until about 1am this morning.

Turn off iMessage on your device or create your own Apple ID...

The compass also has the best Leveler feature I've used. I've used a lot of Leveler apps, and the native app is the best yet.

Not a huge fan of the look but its ok. One of the things I hate mosted was having to go through the menus to turn on wifi, now its scroll from the bottom and turn it on. This is a feature that should have been in the iOS from the start. Havent had any problems so far.

I like it overall, I just wish I could change the childish/cartoonish icons without having to jailbrake it. But the safari and overall flow is much improved.

I'm downloading it now on my old 4. It's taking over 2 hours to complete the download; I think it's about done, but I'm not sure. I'm excited to see what's new. How long did it take you guys to download the update?

My wife downloaded it to her iPhone 4S. She likes the graphics better and some of the new features. It's not an earth shattering upgrade, but overall it's decent. I think Apple did a good job. You'll have to get use to the changes, of course.
