"new" feature in Beta 3!
YESS!! Finally the "keystroke buffer" is back! Man I can't believe how slow iOS7 felt just because of that!
Now we don't need to wait until the animations finished playing to continue working with the iPhone (e.g. double click home button or tap an app on the screen)
Because of that iOS7 feels much snappier now!
You can try this new feature out like this:
10 double tap home button
20 single tap home button
30 goto 10
This code should execute much faster now then prior beta 3.

I disagree. You should turn it off if you don't want to use it. Auto-disabling would be far more annoying.
Any sign that they may modernize the keyboard? I wish Apple would just buy Swiftkey and be done with it
Perhaps you should give the company who has released 7.0 as a "bug riddled mess" as much time as they need to make sure this one is better...
1. The one immediate thing I noticed was the keyboard contrast. Very happy.
2. The phone app. Animations are new, and the rectangles are replaced with circles. The show and hide keyboard animation is the best (read: funny) animation I ever saw on a phone. I did it 2-3 times just for the fun of it.
3. Press the call circle and it turns into red cancel circle. Kinda nice.
I would like to see the delete key in the phone app besides the call and end circle, now that there is space.

on the activation screen for a moment I thought they remove the carrier name! Was happy until it activate and shows T-mobile
Where do you get this opinion? Release dates have all been rumor. What is "too many bugs"?
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.
Disable the parallax by turning Reduce Motion on - problem fixed. It's not a bug.
The background seems to be slightly translucent showing the wallpaper color. Was that there before in the phone app?

No need anymore. There is an option when setting a new background to disable motion! No need to change the accessibility setting.

You can disable this by turning on the "less motion" option in the settings. I like the animations of the folders and icons, but I hated the fact that I couldn't set the wallpaper to my size and zoom preference.
It's nice that they changed the color, but it took them a really long time to do it.
I'm getting this from the original article on page 1 of this thread:
"The company also lists several known issues, suggesting that iOS 7.1 is not yet ready for public release.
According to a recent report, iOS 7.1 will see a lengthy testing period with a public release coming in March. Beta 3's release notes indicate that a number of known issues remain with iOS 7.1, which must be fixed before the software can see a general release."
Well, all the previous developer betas have come with release notes listing several known issues. The part about release in March etc. is all conjecture. We don't know Apples plans etc.
