I downgraded from iOS 7.1 beta 2 to jailbreak my iphone 5s on iOS 7.0.4. Miss testing the betas. Hopefully it doesn't patch the jailbreak.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iOS 7.1 Beta 3 to Developers

Currently installing, I'll update this post with my findings!
EDIT:
- New power off slider/animation! I can't take a screenshot but somebody posted a picture. It looks the same on iPad (the slider is just as narrow as on iPhone). The cathode TV-like animation is also gone, now there's only a simple fade out to black.
- Green icons (messages/phone) are now less saturated. Looks better!
- Phone app dialer now has a circular green button and is de-saturated just like the icon. Round red button to end the call too.
- Music app has different repeat/shuffle buttons. It's now more clear when they're enabled.
- You can disable wallpaper parallax when setting it rather than in accessibility. You can now keep zoom animations while having no wallpaper movement animation.
- Keyboard colors for function keys are different. Shift keys for instance are filled instead of just an outline but depending on the background, they may look enabled when they are disabled and the other way around. I was a little confused at first.
- Keyboard letters are now a little bolder and smaller.
- In Spotlight, switching to the numeric keyboard results in my "Search" key (return) going from blue to black. Probably a bug.
Animations and performance otherwise seem identical, accessibility features seem identical, wallpapers are the same and there's still a reference to iOS in the car.
Looks like Apple doesn't like large rounded rectangles anymore! Just circles and small rounded squares.

Not sure, but I know people were able to downgrade to iOS 6 for up to a week after iOS 7 was released.
Edit: I was just able to go from 7.0.4 to 7.1 b2 without a problem.
Has anyone else been annoyed by the way pictures are blown up when setting them as wallpaper. I thought it was going to be a bug from 7.0 development cycle but it has never been fixed.
It's showing how it will look with the parallax effect.
Yeah the one that is annoying the hell out of me is that it will not remember my password for the proxy server at work, I have to enter it in every day
Me too. So many JB tweaks wouldn't work with 7.1.
(I don't miss it that much, plus I get to fiddle with JB stuff. Love VirtualHome. Don't have to push the home button anymore.)
Has it always been the case when updating Over the Air you have to enter your phone password, not your Apple ID password, but your phone password?
On 5S I Had to put in my password to download the update and had to put it in again to install it. Don't recall having to do this before. I didn't have to do it on the iPad Air I just ran the same update on.
Yes, button shapes are back!
Perhaps they'll add a "Button Color" option, a "Button Shading" option, a "Button Emboss" option, etc. over the next few betas, and by iOS 8 we'll just have an "iOS 6" option!
Screenshot, please!
That feature probably reared its head out too prematurely.
Reminds me of iPad five-finger gestures I believe that was in iOS 4 beta or something..
