FWIW I'm a very happy 5s user. It's crazy fast, and I love the upgraded camera (I'm shocked how well it works). TouchID is also nice (I didn't previously use a PIN). I was using an iPhone 4. I also develop for iOS.

I'm not very fond of iOS 7, the "fuck Scott Forstall" release. The management on the software side is acting like teenagers, trying to rid his contributions without giving a shit about the customer in the process (c.f. the new Calendar app...).

Tim Cook should have kept Forstall and fired the other SVPs who supposedly couldn't get along with him, especially Craig Federighi. My god that was a bad decision, and iOS 7 is just the beginning.

Firing Forstall reminds me of firing Jobs back in the 80s, and I fully expect him to be Apple's CEO in the next 10-15 years. In the meantime, my expectations on the software side are low. They simply have no one qualified to steer the ship at this point.
