Unfortunately I don't see Swedish in the list of Siri languages.

Darn, thanks for looking! I guess I'll have to continue to shamefully whisper to Siri in English.

I discovered a scan credit card function in Safari when I was entering a card number.

When powering off the device and back on again it asks for your Apple ID

Wow I hope that doesn't make it to the release version. What a huge PITA.

Can someone please check if Siri has any new languages? I'm waiting specifically for Swedish. Thanks!

I believe that Swedish is being added as a "dictation" language, but not for Siri:

sorry if mentioned but does anyone know if safari still reloads a page each time you go back to it? - annoying as hell if like me you open several pages to then go in and read later

This annoys me as well!

I believe that this is due to the limited RAM in i-devices. When I look at Activity Monitor on my mac, Safari pages seem to take up about 70-300Mb of RAM each. With only 1Gb of RAM on your device and with iOS's aggressive memory management, the pages get "killed" by Safari very quickly.

For this reason alone, I really hope that the new iPhones and iPads come with at least 2Gb of RAM (4Gb would be better, but I know there is no chance of that).

IOS 8 now has the option to include travel time in calendar appointments...

There's not an information card in passbook anymore when you have a card in there from a different app.

I like the fact that if you have flash set to auto, it shows you if it's going to flash or not as you move the camera around.

"Full screen caller id"

It's a battery killer and seems aimed for CarPlay

Wish you didn't need to have your device connected to power to use "Hey Siri"

I'm pretty certain that's in 7.1?

Edit: Just checked, it is.

Everybody happy?

No. if you're not going to curate, don't create the little things thread just to get your username on it.

Please tell if they added more network control options.
I mean which network to use 2g, 3g, 4g etc.

Looks like I can only open 24 tabs in Safari.

Why on earth do you need more than 24 tabs open at any one time?

Get your facts right. "Hey Siri" only works when the device is connected to a power source. At worst, the phone might charge a little slower.

With a card scanner like square? Or.....

Thanks, TheKrs1!

I think they include this information in the event of a major catastrophe. In a mass casualty situation, where O-negative is in limited or no supply, they might risk matching the blood a patient indicates if they are going to die without treatment?

A blood type test takes minutes at most. I don't think any medical professional would transfuse without one, no matter the circumstances.

No, you're right, just pointing it out cause I think in iOS 7 I can open unlimited tabs, even on iPhone 4.

NP, My OT comment about blood type was a pure guess.

Nope. It has 24 limit too but it takes over a tab if you add more.

I believe it would simply replace the oldest tab after a certain point. May have seemed unlimited, but older tabs were being closed out.

Would someone PLEASE post a picture of full screen caller ID???
