Apple iOS 7 products are not good products.

[pylon]

Do not buy anything with iOS7 they are terrible, and the operating system is terrible. If anyone you know is asking for Apple products for Christmas do them a favour and buy Android.

I shelled out for the new iPad air, and it is less useful than my iPad 1. Any website with embedded YouTube videos does not work. There is no known fix for this issue, and every single browser is subjected to this problem. I also upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 and the battery life had been cut by 2/3rds. This is my final straw with Apple and their planned redundancy. Their stuff is way to expensive to not work, and only be useful 1 or 2 years. And since Jobs died, their stuff is getting worse and worse, since there isn't a perfectionist at the helm.

Do not buy Apple products. They are bad, and they do not work properly. $700 dollar f'ing tablet can't play f'ing YouTube videos. What a god damn joke.

I love my iPad Air and 5S, but I do agree that the embedded youtube videos issue is annoying as hell.

Uninstall the Youtube app and restart. It takes over h.264 playback responsibilities and causes the previews to not load as well as general Safari instabilities.

Make sure you're running iOS 7.0.4.

Or buy Android I guess.

I have to chuckle a little when this post decries iOS 7.x devices being unusable then suggests everyone go to Android instead. My Nexus 7 has been a liability at best since moving to KitKat 4.4. Chrome half the time will turf me back to the home screen with the icons taking a good three to five seconds to re-appear before I can do anything. Device isn't rooted, either.

Agreed. The latest Kitkat has had much more issues than IOS 7.

THANK YOU.

Fixed everything. What pisses me off, is Apple should make this widely available knowledge.

Thanks so much

Everyone boycott YouTube noa11!!!1!!1 and use Vimeo instead. YouTube makes bad products.

Battery life on the majority of devices (Apple, Microsoft, Google) out there is crap...so Ill give you that one. But to boycott iOS 7 devices because of embedded youtube videos not working seems to be a bit much.

Off to start my thread on how my Nexus 7 sucks because the TSN app won't launch.

I think the battery life issue is brought on by battery technology lagging the processor and LCD advancements. The big screens are great but there's a price to be paid for having to power that larger screen. A 64 bit processor is great but it's probably going to consume more juice than a 32 bit processor.

What issues have you experienced on Android 4.4?

I don't understand how this thread is #13 posts long and not on fire yet. I (and most everyone in my family) is on iOS7 and everybody is really happy with it.

As for the Steve Jobs remark, I think it's a classic mistake to make. When Steve was alive it wasn't always incredible and revolutionary. Things shipped half-ready, odd attention to detail was ignored, there was all sorts of negatives. Steve was a great visionary for Apple, but the company was much more than him.

Crap I was going to offer to buy the iPad air for 100 bucks

PS I used my handy dandy VW official snow brush this morning. Thanks again for hooking me up with it!

You are just trying to compensate for your itsy bitsy 4 inch iphone screen. hehe

I can't believe Apple released a new phone in 2013 with a screen that small... mind bottling!
