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

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

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