Michal Ždanský iOS 7 came with drastic changes in appearance and added several interesting effects that make the system unique, but not always for the good of the battery and readability of the text. Thanks to innovations such as parallax backgrounds or background updates, the phone's battery life on a single charge has decreased, and thanks to the use of the Helvetica Neue UltraLight font, certain texts are almost unreadable for some. Fortunately, users can correct many "illnesses" in the settings.
Better endurance
- Turn off Parallax background – the parallax effect in the background is very effective and gives a person a sense of depth in the system, however, due to this, the gyroscope is constantly on alert and the graphics core is also exploited more. So if you can do without this effect and prefer to save battery, you can turn it off in Settings > General > Accessibility > Restrict Motion.
- Background updates – iOS 7 has completely redesigned multitasking, and apps can now refresh in the background even after 10 minutes of closing. The applications use both Wi-Fi data transmission and location updates. However, this also affects battery life. Fortunately, you can either turn off background app updates completely or enable them only for certain apps. You can find this option in Settings > General > Background app updates.
Better readability
- Bold text – if you don't like the thin font, you can return it to the same form you were used to in iOS 6, i.e. Helvetica Neue Regular. You can find this option in Settings > General > Accessibility > Bold text. If you have trouble reading fine print, you'll probably appreciate this option. To activate it, the iPhone must be restarted.
- Bigger font – iOS 7 supports dynamic font, that is, the thickness changes according to the font size for better readability. IN Settings > Accessibility > Larger font you can set a generally larger font, especially if you have a vision problem or simply don't want to read the subtitle text.
- Higher contrast – if you do not like the transparency of some offers, for example the Notification Center, v Settings > Accessibility > Higher Contrast you can reduce transparency in favor of higher contrast.
iPhone 4 does not have a parallax effect on the background? I can't find it in the settings.
It often seems to me that the phone cuts, jerks and I didn't feel that with ios6.
No, parallax is up to 4s.
Thanks
it does not
This is the intention so that you finally buy a 5. It's nice that they thought it up for us...
Can I just go off topic?... In iOS7, you can't write a tweet on Twitter from the top bar like in iOS6?
It doesn't work. Not even a FB status.
They decided that what is not a notification has no business in the notification panel.
When using Barca, I also tried it with iPhone 4 and Ios7. It happened to me 3 times that I could not answer the call during an incoming call until I covered the sensor for turning off the display. anyone same problem?
It happened to me too and yesterday I wanted to reply to an SMS and the keyboard wouldn't slide out. I had to turn off the phone and turn it on.
Maybe I'm a complete idiot, but is there a way to reject a call? When the phone is active, there are two buttons next to each other for rejecting and accepting a call. When the phone is "locked", then only a long slider and a button to remind and reject sms will appear. So how to reject a call without reminders and sms?
Double-click the lock button. ;)
Pressing the power button 1x turns off the sounds and pressing it a second time rejects the call. That's how it works for as long as I can remember
Please, is there a way to turn off apps that are open in the background? it worked on ios6, but it doesn't work on 7. I have an iphone4 and it is mysteriously eating my battery, could this be it? Thank you
double-click the home button, scroll through the app that should be closed and drag it straight up and it will disappear :-)
great, thanks a lot!! :-)
Hello, I wanted to ask if you have problems with YouTube apps on your iPad mini after updating to iOS7. The videos don't want to finish reading, they are cut, I don't know what it could be??? Does anyone have similar problems? Thank you for the answer
I have the same problem, maybe it wants to wait for an update.
I'm so glad I didn't update ;)
I have 4 and I wonder if the system is faster - it's fine (visible in the photo) - the battery was weak even before that :-) don't worry, I'll charge it
Does anyone with iOS 7 on an iPhone 4 notice a longer delay between tapping a number and making a call, or at the beginning of the call to the other party? Subjectively, I feel that it is at least 2x longer than on iOS 6 and it is quite annoying.
you have a 2010 phone what do you want
And now one heretical addition to your article:
"And don't install ios7" :)) Text readability is good for me, I don't need to turn off the Parallax effect :) Flashlight, c'mon. So I hope he won't be angry that I have one yes, I have a hundred no :))
It's crazy when you're done with it ;-) It's hard to come back ;-).
So I see that there is NO ONE in the discussion. Who is totally fine with iOS…. I thought APPLE couldn't make a bigger fail than maps... It happened! :-)
I have the new iOS on my iPod5, I switched from 6.0.1JB and I'm incredibly satisfied, I don't need JB anymore, the battery runs much better than on iOS6 (but that could also be the fact that it doesn't use the internet from the operator) and overall I'm enjoying it better feeling, the design is more beautiful from my point of view and overall it feels more brisk and better :-) but that's just my personal opinion, yes ^.^
Does anyone have a problem with the iTunes Store? I haven't been able to download anything through it for 2 days!!! I have an iPad 2 and the last hair like Homer (but with iOS 6 I had a lot of them ;-) ).
So now all that remains is to turn off the entire phone or carry the battery from the car on your back... I would expect something similar for a phone for 5 thousand, but not for 20... It's a normal scam
With the iP4S, I had a rapid decline. Previously, my iPhone lasted me more than a day without a problem. I didn't know the state when it went below 10% or my phone was disconnected...
Battery life dropped rapidly since iOS7 and after a normal work day I come back with a red low battery notification... The difference between ios6 vs 7 is crazy. Throw away phone…
Is the iP5 a similar fatal difference? Does it make sense to buy?
I like iOS 7... Although it consumes more battery, my mobile phone still lasts for 2 days without charging :)
Does anyone have experience if replacing the iP4's battery will help significantly, or will the battery icon turn red instead of 4pm at 5pm? :-)
Or is it better to Upgrade to iP5? Does it drain that fast too?
I have a 4S, fluidity without problems and battery life initially not much. However, I turned everything off, according to the article on iDnes, and today I am 2,5 days from the last charge and I have 32%..for myself - satisfaction..
Tomas, listen to any sikov link? I have an iP5. I go to work at 8 in the morning, I take 6 photos on my mobile phone, some mail and at 14,00:XNUMX p.m. my battery is empty :(
What else can I turn on so that my battery lasts at least until the evening?
That's a very bad endurance. My endurance on the 4S is absolutely excellent, but it is true that I have a brand new one and therefore also a perfect battery. Otherwise, I drew info from this article. The basic thing is to turn off the moving background, some animations, background app updates, etc. It helped me a lot:

:) Thank you, I'm going to talk about it. What makes the phone interesting has to be turned off..
