Reduce Motion
I hate the parallax effect. BUT I generally like the transition animations. I'm conflicted about the update to the "reduce motion" setting; to me it removes some important context cues when opening folders or apps zooms to the relevant place.
I think Apple should separate disabling of parallax and transition animations in a future update.

First impressions on iPhone 5s:
3d parallax efffect much much much much (!!) improved - jittery motion seems to be eliminated.
iCloud keychain works. :-)
Absence of "slide to unlock" on lock screen is a nice feature

For the first time ever, so am I.
I NEED to change the look of iOS, while keeping the functionality. And I'm clearing my phone of anything precious, since the security advantage will be gone. But that'll be a small price to pay...If only Apple would let me revert back to iOS 6, I'd be able to avoid this!
A new jailbroken iPad or mini would be AWESOME, though. Apple's hardware is still (relatively) above reproach. The new iPads are reeally impressive, pricing and iOS 7 aside.
I can't believe I NEED to jailbreak, after all these years.:mad:
I think you mean WANT.

The carrier sets the limit of the size of update that is allowed over their data connection. This limit is set in the carrier file.

Unlimited means "over a month." It doesn't mean unlimited bandwidth at any given second.
There's no way any cellular carrier could handle hundreds of phones per tower downloading 5 GB files all at once without killing service for everyone else.
