I wish I would have waited before upgrading.  Next time I will.
I know there are some blind IOS users that are beta testers out there, and 
one would think they would have encountered what we're encountering and had 
it fixed before the upgrade was released.
However, I did hear that the last upgrade was released before the first 
upgrade was.
