I'll keep this brief. I've had iOS 7 since Wednesday afternoon, and carry my iPod with me pretty much everywhere. It plus a cheap Android phone serve as my poor man's iPhone for now.
The rest seems to be small improvements. Mail, for example, seems to keep flagged email from a person at the top of any thread you have with them so you actually see it. That's smart.
One message is clear: iOS 7 is pitching itself at the iPhone 5+. I haven't touched an iPhone 5S, but I'm guessing it's intentionally the only place you get the iOS 7 experience as it was designed. That's the advantage of being Apple; they can design to whatever hardware they want, backwards compat be damned
I wouldn't go back to iOS 6, but it's obvious iOS 7 isn't smooth (yet?) on my current hardware. That said, it's just good enough I saved my cash and bought an iPhone 4S on Virgin Mobile rather than shelled out the extra dollars for the 5S on AT&T.
I really can't see getting an iPhone 5C at this point, when the 5 is the same phone and runs $50 less. I could almost see spending the extra $200 to get a 5 on Virgin, but Sprint, which powers Virgin, doesn't have LTE here yet, and, at $30/month, I figured I'd rather upgrade to an iPhone 6 six months earlier.
