I'm unsure about the new look. I thought I'd hate it, but having seen it on an "early adopter" it wasn't as bad as I thought and the icons are ok although they may change in time.
All in all I like the improvements and they outweigh the new look especially if you run an Apple ecosystem. I do sometimes wonder if people are getting the best of their iDevices if they don't.
Of course part of not liking the new look may be just because it is new. Here Apple are damned. People complained because they were "bored" of the look (I confess I didn't give it a thought, I just used it) and people are complaining because it has changed.
I agree that Calender and Notes are bright because of their white background, but that is an easy fix on an update, if it is believed to be a problem by introducing a colour background again..
Mind you I generally have the brightness turned down anyway, and as a previous poster has said I rarely use them opting for ToDo and Evernote in their place .
I, initially had a battery issue and could see it daring before my eyes. I read somewhere that turning on airplane mode, powering down, restarting and then turning Airplane mode off helps.
Seems crazy, but I did it and no mote battery drain. I've been reading the IOS manual and fiddling with settings, then reading DS for the last couple of hours (or more) and the battery has only gone from 82% to 67% which is about what I would expect. Mind you it is doing a lot of background stuff, which I don't switch off - it's that Apple ecosystem again,
