All I know is there's a dynamic blue one (default) and it's also available in grey. I think they're the only dynamic wallpapers though.
I have iOS 7.0 up and running on my phone now, so from now all will all the beta updates be OTA?
and what happens when the official 7.0 gets released in the fall? how do I go to that?

I'm curious to know if the 4S has any difficulty in running all the new stuff. I'd like to keep my 4S a little longer, but this update could well drive me to upgrade, assuming the software is laggy on the 4S.
I was actually hoping someone could post them so I can use them on my iOS6 iPhone 5. I thought the one used at WWDC was a sky.
I realize they won't be dynamic but...
That's what it is. I couldn't put my finger on why some of it bugged me. For change's same. Yeah that is a good way of putting it. That and to shut up folks demanding it.
I was able to do my iPad last year without erasing but it was extremely crash happy etc so I ended up erasing it and starting over. So you might do it that way just to clean it out of any debris etc
I like your music and mail app icons better, definitely, but it is a matter of taste I suppose, as they have just slightly different colors and gradients. I usually complain about iTunes icon color changes, too, then I get used to it.
Your phone icon is a picture of the whole device, which gives no clue as to which function on that device this button will lead to. And I am sorry, but your Safari icon is more hideous and more confusing. At least Apple is depicting a crushed, but still recognizable compass. Yours look like a sea turtle.
As far as I can tell there are no ads yet... I'm not an iTunes Match subscriber and I haven't seen a single ad.
Few apps are broke but thats to be expected.
Its lagging a bit but I'm assuming they have "turned off" quite a bit of the OS to bug fix. Bit like running in safe mode but not quite that extreme.
Calendar Repeating Events
My longest standing complaint against the iPhone calendar is it's inability to create appointments anything but the most basic repeating criteria. Has this changed with the updated calendar? Third party apps do it all the time, but I hate having to rely on two different calendar apps. Can I create appointments for, say, the 3rd Thursday of the month, or every 6 weeks, or things like that? Or is it still limited to the surprisingly paltry set of options available up through iOS 6? Anybody with the beta that can comment on that?

The icons are especially surprising after the excellent and refreshing WWDC intro. I expected a soft monochrome theme based around circles rather than curved border app icons, with a few touches of color here and there to draw attention and give the apps character, and nothing like those icons.
The intro seems more like what Jony Ive might put out, too.
Are they sure he did actually work on those icons and not just the video? Haha.

The washed down colors are great.
But the icons are either too adobe-like or metro-like.
The game center one is great tho. Way better than Apple's one.

Thank you for letting me know. I don't much care if the only things missing are the funky weather animations or moving home screens. If the actual phone functions are slow that's a bad thing. What truly miffs me is the rumor that the voice memo app has been entirely removed. I can't tell you how often I use that for work. I suppose I'll need to find a third party app for that. Sigh.

I'm assuming this is photoshop work and not actually implimented in the phone? because if it was that would look A LOT nicer... the Gradient backgrounds kind of kill me
Everything seems to be working nicely so far. It was a little slow, so I ended up resetting everything and it's a lot smoother now.
Question- What do you guys see when you try to change the wallpaper? When I go to choose wallpaper, it says I don't have any photos (didn't take any pics yet). I wonder if the stock wallpapers deleted when I performed the reset.

Using an iPhone 5 with iOS7, I found the following:
1.In order to have the weather info appears in the "Today" lockscreen, location services for weather need to be turn on.
For people that travel to different places, it will be hard to tell the current weather is refering to the current location or not.
2. The weather info in lockscreen is in text. Not an pic with a sun or clouds.
3. If u in airplace mode, the weather info still appear, in IOS6 it will said offline.
4.When scrolling up the inbox, the text overlap the top screen bar, make it hard to read the time and battery %
5.When typing the url in safari, "." and "/"button is now replaced with "sapce" button, when typing url like abc.apple.com/abc taken a slight more time.
6.If Apple is obsess with the genie effect when open and close app, why remove the delete a photo genie effect?
7. You can now delete a song in the music app, but I cannot find the song rating setting.
8.I would like to add toggle of 3g/lte/off in the control center.
9.mixing flat and regular icon is ugly.
10.Moving the icon to a different page within a folder is a little bit more hassle(drag too outside you move the icon out of the folder), innovate a new way to rearrange icons, Apple!
