So it will be a step backwards! So it will crash more then a drunk on his way home from the bar and be the most unintuitive OS system outside android. LOL

It looks like my jailbroken iPhone... it is amazing how much they borrow from the JB community.

I don't think you will see anything truly new in the iPhone until next year. My guess is that the soon-to-be-released iPhone (likely called the 5S) will be an improvement on the 5, but nothing revolutionary. (I hope that I am wrong, but based on everything in the media this seems the most likely option).

Rumor is the next "step" for the iPhone will be a cheaper model with plastic front and back for lower end markets. The next iPhone 5 is alleged to be the 5S. But honestly, I've got a 5, and it's pretty awesome as is. The camera is spectacular, there's no lag using multi-tasking, games play just fine...I'm happy. And I've had every version of iPhone since the beginning.

The next version will probably have a faster processor, more memory, updated bluetooth and Wi-Fi specs, more sensors, etc. I doubt the shape will change at all.

Also, regarding iOS7...I wonder how this will throw the aftermarket for a loop like iOS6 did. Car audio makers still haven't caught up to the changes from 6. Which was odd seeing iPhone in the Car at the keynote. Ever since upgrading to 6, my Pioneer STILL won't work properly...and Pioneer has been no help at all.

That sucks. I have an after-market JVC KW-XR810 and had no issues when I switched to the 5. Everything still works the same as before. I can connect through the sync cable or via Bluetooth.

Pioneer, in their infinite wisdom, made updating the firmware a complete farce. I have an AVH-P8400BH. It has 2 USB ports, an SD Card slot, CD/DVD slot and bluetooth connectivity. In order to update it, you must have a Bluetooth enabled WINDOWS 7 laptop to connect to the unit...via bluetooth. I own Macs. And it won't even connect using BootCamp. At least Kenwoods you can load the update file onto a disc or SD card.

I called Pioneer and they said for $65 I could ship it to them and they would update it for me.

So I'm eventually going to pull it out and sell it.

For the record, it will connect via the cable, and play/search my music fine. All of the "App Mode" crap doesn't work (using the head unit as a screen for the apps on your phone). Also the bluetooth will only stream music...no info and controls no longer work.

I have a 4s for personal use and a 5 for work, and I like the 5 way better than the 4s due to being more responsive, better battery by far, and the larger screen. I know it wont happen in the upcoming release, but how I wish for a bigger screen. Im tired of squinting

Anyone installed this yet? If so, where did you find the legit download.

Legit download... nope. But it is out there and is running pretty good on my 4S. I like it, but miss a few of my Tweaks.
