Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 5 to Developers

[johnnyenvy]

I can confirm the headphones middle button works again

Also engages Siri as it did in iOS6.

LastPass still crashes on attempt to copy password to clipboard.

New option to pull down on a banner

That functionality was present in b4 (possibly also in b3?), but the dragbar UI element is indeed new.

SLIDE TO POWER OFF

I would have expected it to fade the background while showing that.

Wish I was on wifi to grab the update real quick.

Its not just the install screen the boot screen has changed.. Its now white with a black apple

 

[sik08amg]

Any changes with music playing on the lock screen? B4 had a bug when trying to skip tracks or move the slider... Shouldn't be able to slide to unlock at the top when music is playing.

I slept in late... Woops

It fades to black as you drag the slider.

What about us peasants?

Is the performance of the new beta totally crap on the iPhone 4 still? Tried it with beta 1 and 2 and it sucked ass.

 

[samjurgensen]

there is more compatibility with applications and apps that were developed before the iPhone 5!

 

[CGagnon]

I'll have to hop over to the mall near my office here in a bit to grab a wifi connection.

You don't have wifi in your office? What kind of developer doesn't have wifi at their office?

That's kind of a cool touch. I saw someone updating earlier who said their install screen was white -- I was rather disappointed when mine started installing b5 in the original scheme. Very clever, Apple.

I have a white iPhone and my install screen is black.

 

[gibbz]

Well it took 4 to realize they were changing.

The Photos app icon did not change. The original poster of that image stated they wished it would change to that icon.

iOS 7 b5 install screen is the same color as your iPhone color.

I would dare to believe there is something much bigger behind this...

 

[timshundo]

The settings icons are great. Scrolling down to the App Settings section at the bottom isn't as drastic now that all icons share the same bounding shape. Also the colors help to identify certain settings people use more often than others, notably Do No Disturb and Sounds. The icons within the bounding boxes are still thin-lined so I don't know what this cry of inconsistency is all about.

 

[sonynair]

nope mine allows me to turn mine on and use it

my Nike+ options seems to have got in that state since beta 2. any ideas how to re-enable?

 

[verniesgarden]

Why would you need that?

because the new way is clunkier and horrible if you have multiple apps to close

 

[GoCubsGo]

I thought I read the install was 182 mb, but on my iPhone 4S, it is 124 mb.

After the update, the unlock screen sound is gone. Powering on the phone takes 44 seconds or so, from Apple logo to seeing home screen. Wasn't that slow with beta 4.

 

[Sunsenista]

Skype and Google + now can work properly no more crash! Happy!

Using my 2GB of data when I have a weak Wi-Fi signal is not a good thing. I'd rather it didn't switch until my signal improved.

To users with unlimited data plans the opposite could in many cases be better, so Ideally this would be a setting the user could change. Not that I'm counting it becoming one, though.

Well, at least it's now quick and easy to switch Wi-Fi off from Control Center when experiencing congested networks. So even if the automatic fallback feature is not going to make it to the final builds, it's still going to be an improvement over iOS6.

New Twitter icon in Settings

Skype works!!!!

I had this issue in B4. You can still slide to unlock from the top BUT the music controls are MUCH more responsive now. Before this fix, I was using the Control Center from the lock screen to work around it.

I think the baseband changed.
