Why not? iOS Beta's usually are released every 2 weeks, but because of the security issue on the developer portal this beta was delayed by a week so the new beta will have 3 whole weeks worth of changes and fixes included.

I need an update for the iPhone 4. I put iOS7 on my wife's 4 and it's killed it. She reminds me often on how it doesn't work very well. Looking forward to some more stability today!
Hooray! Let me run over to MacRumors and bitch about the bugginess of the beta OS that I installed on my primary phone and signed an NDA not to talk about.
You have a 3 weeks old version, probably even older.
If they claim they almost reached "zero-priority-1 bugs" you bet they are talking about their latest internal build, not the beta build that was released 3 weeks ago, but probably branched of the trunk a while before that.
Why would you do this?? First thing iOS beta tells you is do not put this on your primary mobile device, particularly your primary phone. If it were ready for your wife's iPhone 4 it would be publicly released.
I hope the bug where if you try changing your wallpaper twice in a row the app you are in crashes is fixed! It's not huge but still not apple standard
and i always see my previous wallpaper for a split second during certain animations like opening or closing an app/folder
I'm sure there will be many changes. On my phone (and from what I have witnessed, many people are having the following big key problems):
- I don't get incoming cell phone calls 75% of the time. I get the voice mail notification immediately.
- In the calendar app, I go back to look at the month view and it crashes.
- Possible Spotify error, but when I play a track, if I increase or decrease the volume, it crashes.
- Background goes black constantly
- GPS issues are crazy...I can do turn by turn, but in Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, and GPS Drive, it all shows me in the middle of no where, while still updating the turn by turn instructions off and on. I'm not 100% sure if this is software or phone related. If phone related, I need to hurry and recognize before the warranty expires! If anyone else has seen this, please let me know so I can be sure.
I promise you if they made every iPhone pink they'd lose a ton of sales. But let's all pretend men and women don't like different aesthetics.
Check your mailbox in a couple of days. Apple should be sending you its White Knight medal soon.
No offence but...
are you serious? iOS7 beta 3 is nowhere near to be usable. At least 4 times a day black screen, when something goes wrong while switching between apps, almost every app lags as hell, its definitely nowhere near to be usable. Even though I got 4S and iPad 3 with it definitely can't outperform iOS6 at the moment. So they better start working hard on it if there are just 2-3 more betas before GM. Hopefully they work it out.
Anyway, IMHO some of the icons are just terrible, UI is not the best I have seen but I guess it's just matter of opinion.
yeah i know, I'm not really crying about it not being released. I was just mocking the other people.
Any change for the icons
Id say what's done is one. Unfortunately, the icons, at least some of them are just terrible. For example the mail icon is really ugly
Yet Mavericks was updated on schedule with the dev center down. Maybe iOS beta 4 wasn't due to be released last Monday?
Any change for the icons
No. Changing icons are not what betas are for.
These are probably the final icons, but on the off chance they aren't, you'll only see the updated ones in the final release.
They've had three weeks to hammer out the major bugs.
Now let's see them tweak the UI a bit, since I imagine they've had plenty of feedback.

Only bug that I've seen is the iCal crashing when going from day view back to month view. Other than that it's pretty solid
