Good. I'd rather Apple take the effort and the time to make current software better. There's no need to rush out new features at the moment.
Would be nice if they offered the old UI - iOS7 on the iPhone is just too damn hard to read - I've so many friends who have the same complaint (here at the retirement home)
I agree. The lack of contrast is AWFUL.
After a call is ended there is dark grey text in a great box and it's a huge button and it's barely readable. I can never see what it says, and it's a contrast issue not a size issue. It's funny that they made it a great big button with big text (like you might need to see it easily while driving!!) but it's just in invisible colors.
I do like that they have the option to set to "bold text" in the accessibility options (under settings->general). They have an "improve contrast" option also, but I don't notice any obvious results with that. Both setting are right below the "larger type" option if you've increased that; several Apple apps (e-mail and iMessage) and a few others pay attention to this setting.
Yeah it's new, and it doesn't look good at all with that font. Jesus Christ Apple what the fudge are you guys doing!?
I heard somebody say that there is a new option for the keyboard layout, you can choose to always have black.
Can someone confirm this?
I really hope they are working on ios 7 for ipad air, it just feel like a zoomed out iphone.
New icons, colors, or thickness would be the easiest changes to implement. Not to mention, designers aren't often working on bug fixes.
For some reason firing up the music app when the last session was using iradio results in the black screen with apple logo... like the phone just kernel paniced or something. Would love to know if the beta improves this.
I'm talking about what's prioritized. If they can all be worked on concurrently then fine.
Apple said that the iOS in the Car functionality was in 7.1, which you would expect to result in an area of API testing for devs to focus on in the release notes.
Apple UK has also told people that the additional Siri voice packs that were promised as coming outside the US were due in 7.1.
I paid for a UDID slot this summer to try the iOS7 Betas...will my UDID also be valid for 7.1 Beta?
i already got the male voice on iOS 7 in german
i dont like it either, its as if there are too many people working on the UI at the same time. such inconsistency on iOS 7. it blows my mind coming from Apple
A few have said this. Care to explain further? What device? Just quicker, or crashing less?
Can someone confirm that 7.1 fixes the Camera app issue where HDR turns off if the app is killed by the system to free up memory? That is the bug in 7.0.3/4 that is bothering me the most.
