Did you set it up as a "new iPhone" towards the end?!?

i did it a couple of days ago, but man its chewing my battery. Before the upgrade I could get 2 days out of my battery, now not even 24 hours. Time to do some investigating...

1. There is STILL no way to cancel ALL apps running in the backround. You still have to go though, and manually close each one. A bit if a PITA if you have tons open in the backround.

2. They took away in "recents" in "phone" where before you could tap the upper right button and clear the entire list of callers out. Now, you have to manually delete each caller from the "recents" list. I really dislike that.

1 - No need, ever, and nearly all users would do more harm than good with it.

2 - Tap edit, the clear button appears to the left. Changed to make mass deletion of calls a more deliberate action.

I know, its because you have to download your movies from iTunes.

I'm sure there are work arounds, but it becomes terribly tiresome having to burn this copy that, connect to the internet put it in the cloud and download it, reformat etc. etc.

Physical media is a dying relic of our future past. We'd still have floppies if someone hadn't led us out of that ghetto. Yanked the optical drive from my MBP in favor of an SSD additional drive, never missed it.

Yes, I had backed it up. It actually ended up migrated all the info from my wife's phone to my phone. In fact, it wouldnt even recognize my phone at all. I'm not stressing too much as it forces me to clean up all the unwanted pics (most were previously backed up) and delete all unwanted apps.

And maybe it's just clueless me, but I've never found navigating around iTunes very intuitive. I guess I'll be appreciating the whole cloud experience now.
