Downloaded and installed in about 15mins.

Many welcomed fixes, can't tell the difference in the fonts though.

Nice new animation for updating apps, messages slide to the left and see a time stamp of messages (not sure if this was in previous builds).

Does anyone know how to have landscape multitasking, hasn't functioned for me since B1?

first have your phone in landscape, where an app supports landscape, then double tap the home button, welcome to landscape multi-tasking.
 
Clock icon

I just realized the the clock icon is a fully functional clock. The seconds hand is moving and the time is correct. Super cool, but useless at the same time. :) :cool:

Imagine your battery drains out, u must turn it back on, and then you will have this bug again, that was the point of turning the phone off, just to test if the bug was still there. And it is, so I turned off the SIM CODE activation on settings, because I dont wanna carry around with me the little key, when the phone drains it's battery. xD

I think i found a way around the sim bug. Turn the sim lock back on. Turn off your device and turn it back on. When it comes it will say sim lock. ignore it and just slide to unlock your device. Do not slide on the message where it tells your sim is locked on your lock screen. After you slide to unlock the pop you normally get to unlock the sim comes up

Seems to be the same size when the pages are fanned out to scroll through. I hate that it's on the top left side to X it out with my thumb, although, I do just swipe it to close.

Good point! I had forgotten about the swipe to close! I think the visual cue prevails over the swipe gestures presence. Apple should just get rid of that X button and make the swipe to close gesture more obvious, IMO.

Speaking of Safari, I hate how the screen moves when trying to move around a text field. An example is when I try to post on the forums from the phone :/
 
You can now remove artists from stations in iTunes Radio from the iPhone (you could before from the appleTV). Still no explicit lyrics toggle on the iPhone that I could find (exists on appleTV).
 
Found a weird visual glitch/bug.

My Voice Memos App shows up twice in the folder it lives in but when I open the folder it only shows it once.

(It's in the Tools Folder, Top Right)

Facebook font

4 Li... 2 Com...
 
Bug: while changing wallpaper. Bright. & Wallpaper Settings option crashes.
 
So I restored to 6.1.4, updated to beta 1 in itunes because I have the .ipsw, but now I'm not being prompted for an OTA update if I go into settings. It just says that iOS 7 is up to date. Any ideas?
 
Charging symbol

While charging, the lightining symbol used to flash on beta 2. On this version, it doesn't flash anymore. So how does one know it is fully charged. Other than 100%?

Isn't beta 1 expired yet... Just download beta 3 ipsw or download beta 2 and ota update from there
 
Sorry if this has been asked before guys, but all I'm getting when I go to update is "Unable to Check for Update" from beta 2 to 3.

and underneath that:

"An error occurred when checking for a software update."

I googled the issue, and tried rebooting my iPhone 5, turning off Wifi, location services, etc... and haven't been able to get past the problem yet. Any suggestions?

I think you young whippersnappers need a history lesson on UI design at Apple.

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mac_OS

Skeuomorphism has been an integral part of Mac OS since the beginning and it is part of the reason why people found it so easy to pickup and learn.

Did you notice how Microsoft copied the skeuomorphic isomorphic design of icons from Mac OS into Windows? Win 3.11 copied ideas from the early Mac OS and Windows 95 copied ideas from Mac OS 7.x This continued for some time into XP and Vista.

Skeuomorphism could be found throughout OS X from OSX 10.0 through 10.8.

Why do you think OS X is so easy to pickup? Why do you think new users have such a hard time with Metro? Why do you think so many regular people hate the ribbon interface? Why do you think people hate Office 2013? It is so damn flat.

I think the current designers at Apple that are pushing for flat and anti-skeuomorphism need to be fired before Apple begins another spiral of death we had before Jobs came back. Jobs is dead now, so they need to find a new visionary. Sorry but Tim Cook is no visionary. He is good at COO duties but a horrible CEO.

Apple has betrayed its DNA.

Wow! Quit being so dramatic.
