I think it was a severe bout of the 'vomit bug' and all I'm saying is that the vomit wasn't just coming out of one end...
What? Wasn't that what you were thinking...I'm only messing, yes folks the big event was the release of IOS 7.
Unlike some folks (newbies) who tried to download the download (hence why it's called a download) the SECOND it came out and then got a message saying it would take 32hrs to download.... I used some analytics to work out the optimum time to do the upgrade, including factors such as time zones, population densities, wind direction etc to work out that 6:12 would be the right time. Yeah ok, so I had to wake up at that time to be sick but I wasn't wrong. 8 minutes later and I had downloaded the 1.25gig file.
I had done some prep the night before as it said I needed 3.3gig free for the download to do its thing, so deleted Apsalt 8 (racing game), which I had paid 69p for, so was a bit gutted. In hindsight, should have just deleted all the wedding pictures in Camera Roll but hey ho.
So, enough of the messing about. Already at Wembley station on the Met line and the bloke reading this blog over my shoulder has just told me 'to stop messing about and to get on with the blog as he needs to get off at Finchley Road'...
Well folks, what can I say... It's that same feeling I had when I first met Mrs Min, Nervous and excited and hoping that this would be the one. Well, it was just that! It is simply like having a brand new phone and I'm loving it!
In some ways, it's made me think, why even get the 5C (cheap..though not really) or the 5S (Super Secret) as the IOS has really given my Iphone 5 a new lease of life (that and it's a work phone and I'm legally bounded to keep it for 3 years)...
Let's talk about some of the new features folks. I'm loving the swipes up and down, though my nose has been running for a few days now...
The IOS certainly goes back to Apple design thinking of 'less is more and all about simplicity and design rather than just cos you can... you should".
Loving new features such as the multitasking of the apps when you double tap the home button. Love flicking the apps up to close them. The safari multiview is also cool!
The new compass is also neat as it has a spirit level built into it now, so spent most of yesterday seeing if the floors in our house were level. Found out they weren't so asked our builder if he can rebuild the house...
Then there is the new Siri and now you can change the voice to be Female. (Bit more realistic when your taking instructions from a women). To do this, make sure you change your Siri settings to use US English. You may have to talk like your a bit drunk so give it a go whilst your in the bar tonight...
Min Marks out of 10 overall is 9.7. Well done Apple, we are friends again. Oh, looks cool on the IPad as well. Would have been full marks but that security pad is rather large to be a SECURITY pad. Who was that aimed at...King Kong?
Right, no time for the app review, so a quick joke to finish with.
How do you know when someone has installed IOS 7?
Don't worry they will tell you...
Right, that's your lot! Have a wonderful weekend and a lovely sleep.
A small man called Min.
