I never had lyrics embedded into my mp3s. So I guess I´m seeing hem now is because I´m using iTunes match and Apple provides these lyrics.
Correct. I wish people understood this better. The new iPhones ship on the 20th. The GM was released today. That means there's a week & three days until people will have new iPhones in their hands. Which means millions of iPhones are sitting, packaged up, on pallets waiting to be shipped to warehouses to be distributed for the 20th at this very moment. Those iPhones have the same iOS builds on them. A build that is very stable, & is not completely unusable. Any minor bugs can be ironed out in 7.x releases.
Well I have to say I'm liking the GM so far.
I decided to do a full "restore" as it was a good opportunity to do some housekeeping on my iPhone 5.
I like the new look, the icons are snappy and the performance seems good, and the new user interface is clear and easy to navigate. Performance seems pretty slick, and I like the new "app-closing" screen, instead of the old "click on the X" method.
I'll have to play with the new iOS to get fully used to it, but it's looking impressive so far.

Are you sure about this?
I saw this curious thing in the GM seed note:
Safari
Known Issue
If upgrading to the GM Seed from an earlier seed, Safari preferences may be lost.
Workaround: Disable passcode lock before you upgrade.
So according to apple, you CAN upgrade from an earlier seed. But how? I just got it by restoring with alt restore in itunes 11.1 beta 2. That worked. But I'm curious how to upgrade from beta 7 to GM.
Does anyone know if the GM added translucency to the iPhone 4? It's unlikely but you never know..
This. Absolutely this.
I've found typing on Notes and Evernote on the Mini with iOS 7 terrible too, the processor simply couldn't keep up with the keystrokes and all the words would come out terrible. Latest I tried was 7 beta 6 and ran back to 6.1.3 as soon as I could.
Think I'll leave my mini on 6 until necessity forces it up to 7 - unless someone can confirm the speed issues are at least a little fixed?
Best to consult this chart. http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/

Doesn't look like it from what I can see:
Blurred layers are not available on iPhone 4.
Parallax is not available on iPhone 4.
Letterpress text is not available on iPhone 4.
There is just transparency, but no gaussian blur. The dock has a brighter colour based on your wallpaper, but with a very minor transparency. It looks really strange. The Control Centre is different: while my dock is blue, my Control Centre is just light grey. This makes the UI look more crowded in some areas, especially the home screen where most of the wallpaper is just not visible anymore.
The worst part for me is that iOS 7 is not as responsive as iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. There is always a slight delay (up to one second, sometimes more). Good thing I get the opportunity to test it now, because at this point I am not convinced at all and rather stick with iOS 6.
iOS 7, you forgot me (iTouch 4th Gen). Does this mean it's over between us?
Unfortunately, yes. Considering that Safari on iOS 6 on my 4th gen. iPod Touch is a pain, I can't imagine how bad trying to get iOS 7 running on only 128 MB of RAM.
