Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 5 to Developers

[FSMBP]

First, it probably takes 10 seconds or less to close 20 apps.

Second, why close 20 apps? What is the point.

OMG...let it go. We do not live in a perfect world where apps do what they're supposed to and stop using resources once they're closed. A rogue GPS can keep using location services even when it's not supposed to, DropBox may continue loading in the background after you 'close' it (yes, I know its limited to 10 minutes or whatever, but it will still go against your data plan).

That is the point. Just because you don't find that feature useful doesn't make it unwanted for others. It's like I could careless about Control Center but I get it benefits others.

Can't wait for the Seed 5 release notes come out.

New option for control center

was fixed in b4.

Not on my iPhone 5 or iPad mini or my boyfriends iPhone 5 or his iPad 3...

The apps are not "Open" and thus do not need to be "Closed". This has been discussed at length, there is ZERO benefit to swiping/Xing apps away from the task switcher tray.

figured it was at the least very low usage but didnt know this. It would still be cool to have just to clean stuff up though.

They made the battery green!!

Anyone noticed the unlock sound has gone on iPhone 5? Its a bit annoying but not a deal breaker. However why Apple has changed the icons in the settings menu is beyond me considering they were clear and crisp before.

Reduce motion does not zoom in the wallpaper like crazy anymore but its still a higher zoom than beta 1,2, and 3.

I've got Reduce Motion on and my wallpaper isn't zoomed in at all...

i like it, but it kind of goes away from the "flat look"

 

[MercifulServant]

more YAHOO presence

 

[ClemyNX]

apps that do a lot of backgrounding

then disable that background usage if it bothers you

btw... no apps use that on iOS7 yet.

The issues with the Twitter app are fixed. You no longer have to hold the buttons at the bottom to move from place to place. You can tap them again.

Zero benefit? Certainly not true. If an app is misbehaving, force quitting it can usually correct the problem. I'd call that 100% benefit for swiping them out of the multitasking bar so they work correctly.

Skype is working now. At least it doesn't crash when starting. I haven't tried to video call anybody yet.

 

[pgiguere1]

How many betas do we have to go through before people realize the icons aren't changing?

Well it took 4 to realize they were changing.

 

[jameslikeness]

Am I the only person on earth who hasn't been able to successfully update OTA on any of the iOS 7 betas? I always have to download the files and update through iTunes. I'm running an AT&T iPhone 5.

 

[tbrand7]

Settings icons have changed

 

[Steve J0bs]

It would be nice if they updated Passbook to accept my gym pass barcode so i could get rid of it from my keychain.

White on white? Apple are you serious!

Anyone noticed changes to the app store? I cant download until I get to wifi.

NEW SLIDE TO POWER OFF

 

[KattDaDon]

those on AT&T:

carrier: AT&T 14.5.6
firmware: 5.00.00

Is this the new updated carrier version or the hacked 14.6 version is the still newer that 14.5.6

You asked. If apps hang onto location services or (coming soon) apps do a lot of scheduled backgrounding, then whacking them has a benefit.
