Like millions of others, I upgraded to iOS7 last week. I generally like it, but it's taken me only a few days to discover a HUGE fail on the part of Apple and the bloom is definitely off the rose because of it.
The built in photo app now allows you to apply filters to your photos, either when you take them or after the fact. Pretty cool, right?
The problem is that when you transfer them off the phone using Apple's own Image Transfer application on the Mac (or through iPhoto), all the filter information is stripped and you're left with only the original photo.
WTF?
And moving the pictures back onto the phone does not restore that lost data.
So all of the original beautifully filtered photos that I took on our trip to Santa Fe are gone (except for the ones I uploaded to Instagram), and the only way I was able to get them back is to re-import them to the phone, reapply the filters, and then email the filtered photos back to me. Yes folks, email.
I would expect this kind of crap from Microsoft, but not Apple.
And did I mention that when you do this you don't get the full resolution photos, even though they're being selected to be sent as full size? Nope, they're only 62% of the original resolution.
This is bullshit.
I'm seeing lot of little annoyances already.
You can't get rid of the menu's that are covering up the photo you're try to take. Also, if you view the photo on the iPhone album, it's cropped. You have to look at the photo in "edit" view to see the whole thing. Apparently, the genius' at Apple have never heard of "crop in frame".
I won't even tell you how to adjust the port numbers on a pop email account. Let's just say, you're shit out of luck.
Guess you haven't or don't use your iphone for your music or you'd be complaining about that too!
I actually do use my iPhone for music. I have no issues with it.
