Nope
The dots were never that useful anyway. While in our app we support the uber-clean look of iOS 7 as well, most people prefer something like this:
Apple never stops innovating, AAPL never stops falling
And?
The stock market has been, and forever will be, useless. Why does everyone look to it like it's the be-all-end-all?
Um, I don't know if I would equate Ive with Picasso. Don't misunderstand, I appreciate Ive as an industrial designer very much. However, icons aren't painted, and Picasso's points were in relation to humanity becoming less in touch with their childlike imagination as they grow older. In this instance, even my friends at Pixar and Cupertino agree, the icons in iOS 7 have much to be desired. They also didn't like the animations.
I absolutely love the new additions such as blocking numbers/emails/texts, et al but the more I have used the OS, the more I do not like the design. The graphic presentation of open Safari windows is awful and for those who aren't as tech savvy (such as older adults), it is confusing. In simplifying iOS, they made it more difficult to navigate. More contrast, lessen the white/brightness (even at 25%, which saves battery power, it is still too bright), and add some nuance to what appears to be very simple design.

In beta one, on the lock screen, if you pull down the Notification area the time would disappear. In beta-2 the time appears up in the status bar
Correct. A glitch on my phone; I reset the wallpaper with the same hideous wallpaper and the blue was gone in both the dock and folders.
Fantastic input. Thanks!
My dock now has that bar at the top of it too
My dock now has a white bar at the top of it also...not very spaced and looks bad, doesn't separate anything. Not sure if this was meant to be there...will be posting iPad Mini screenshots soooooon!
UPDATE: Restarted and fixed the line...perhaps will work with the blue everyone was seeing!
So to give you the evidence it isn't true what you're saying:

Please tell me that is the default wallpaper. Or any other for that matter. ANY wallpaper looks awfully better than the one on beta 1! iOS7 looks near perfect without it.
Go !
Go !
I think its a certain app or having a alot of apps open at a time. I only seem to have the issue intermitently I noticed it today and closed a bunch of apps and now its not sucking the power or really hot. Bad news is I didn't realize it for so long I'm down to 17% without at charger.
another bug. I saw this too and it looked really strange. Restarted iPhone and it's gone
As others have snidely stated, this "isn't true" -- despite yourself and myself showing evidence that is occurs.
Trying re-setting the wallpaper and see if the dock takes on a hue that matches the wallpaper.
I get the feeling that if it changes, we won't see it until the actual launch of the next iPhone. I just hope the Safari icon changes
So to give you the evidence it isn't true what you're saying:
Christ, that Contacts icon
It's not even a decent silhouette. (sorry for more icon commentary, but come on... )
Very nice and useful addition.
Mine took a few minutes on the boot screen. Probably close to 5 minutes total.
