Apple Releases iOS 7 Beta 1, Xcode 5 Preview to Developers

On the iPhone 5 you still have the 3G toggle so I guess it would be on the 4/4S, apps all look "normal" as far as I can see.
this would basically fix any of my problems with icon design... i think they really missed on safari and some of the colors are a little bright and thats why a lot of people think it feels childish and bubbly
The iPhone 4 has a Retina screen. My guess for the missing features are hardware limitations.
Any idea why i'm getting this error? Device is registered on my developer account and has been for the past 5 months! iTunes is up to date. iPhone 5 is on iOS 6.1.4. Correct build has been downloaded.
EDIT: sorry, missed the bit you said you were registered. Probably then you downloaded the wrong build. Remember there are 2 builds for the 2 different models of iPhone 5.
Reboot both devices and try again? Just a thought. Not to doubt you downloaded the correct build, but maybe try the other one just to rule out a dumb mistake?
It will not work unless your device is registered. Are you sure you never registered your device, did someone own it before you, or did you ever participate in a beta/trial for an app? It definitely doesn't work unless you are registered.
I just realized...what the hell?! People have important voice memos going years back...
Attempted rebooting everything.
It says A1429 on the back of my phone so thats what I initially downloaded! Will try A1428 just to rule that out as suggested.
Edit: tried both A1429 and A1428. Neither work. Any other suggestions?

Then maybe I am very lucky. I bought this phone brand new in February.
I have signed up for the "free" developer's thing, where you can get info on making apps etc., but have not ever paid Apple for an account. I tried to get the ipsw file from Apple's dev site using my Apple ID but it said I wasn't authorized or whatever- because I've never paid for an account.
I don't think what I've done would make a difference- if that's all it takes then everyone can do it. Didn't cost me a dime.

:O Also, anyone know right off hand how to get to Spotlight?
I used to swipe to the right from my home screen all the time to do quick Google searches. I don't really want to "talk" to my phone/Siri for everything. They listen to you, you know. That's kinda creepy. LOL...
Edit- I see you can swipe down from the home screen to access Spotlight, but there doesn't seem to be an option to search the web like before. Bummer.

What do you guys think about the "unlock" hint (or the "answer" text/button for an incoming call) ... I am an iOS user since version 1, therefore i know by heart how to unlock or answer a call, but for new users, just reading the word "unlock", without any further hints on actually "how" to do that (push, swipe, drag, throw ... whatever) ... that's just weird.
On my first look at the new lock screen, I even wondered whether they maybe changed the unlocking gesture ... until my muscle memory kicked in.

Is it worth paying $99 for this? I will have it on my iPhone 5 (main phone) and I really want to try it. I am also interested in developing but I currently have no experience. Is it true when beta 1 expires the phone will be unusable? Should I go for it?
Will it delete all my content on my phone?
Will I be able to downgrade?
Will all apps work with it?

I found that out, thank you. Here's one for you, Mr. Smartypants- How to I "search the web" within this new Spotlight?
Ugly
I must be the only one, but I think the icons looks ugly and the colours are too bright. What's going on? Who's approving this terrible design?
No more Job's quality control....

Both. As in- every so often (I didn't listen to it that much, mind you) a short ad plays and you can only skip songs so often before it won't let you anymore. Until you change the channel!
No, you're not the only one. I think this is the main complaint from the majority of users so far. It seems that we've swapped Forstall's skeuomorphism for Ive's kiddie toy preference... It really is quite shocking that no-one stopped this icon design coming out, I'd imagine everyone is scared to speak up what with the recent firings of top staff.
Apple copied the MUI icon pack from Android. Not to mention the lockscreen, notification center, swipe to dismiss notifications and close apps on the multi task page. Not a single feature is innovative, just copied from Android or WebOS. I'm really surprised they didn't copy Android's widget concept, but I guess they have to save some new features for IOS 8.
No. It's a beta. Wait 3 months and you can have the finished version for free. Unless you are a developer I can't understand why people pay $99 for buggy beta software that will be distributed for free very soon. But I guess to each their own.
