Apple’s iOS 7 was finally released to the public yesterday, and millions of people have already updated to the new operating system. However, if you’re about to update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7 you might want to think again. It’s being reported that the iPhone 5 battery life is taking a real hit from iOS 7.
When iOS 7 finally went live to end users yesterday we soon became aware of download and installation problems, with many of us seeing the same error messages and being unable to get the update. Because of Apple server problems there have also been issues with iPhone activations.
Sam Allison, tweeting under the handle @VF2010-, responded to the outcry saying: “Guess I’m not the only one getting an Error message trying to Download IOS 7.0 £Annoying”
Conor Rickards, using the handle @-cajr, opted for irony, tweeting: “Having a great time using IOS 7.0” whilst posting a picture of the error message.

“I don’t understand why it won’t let me download iOS 7.0,” wrote Diana Ulloa (@Deeandhearts).
Others, such as @King-Julien1984, complained about messages telling them their download would take 11 hours to be completed.
Elle Lake (@lizzylake) said: “43 minutes remaining to download iOS 7.0 but now 10 minutes later there is an error,and I have to upload it again with another 2 hour wait.”
