A version designed for the presentation.Then what was Craig demoing on the stage?
The images looked really crisp, clear and sharp on screen, yet people seem to be reporting entirely different experiences on their phones.![]()
It even works great for me, and I'm just on an iPhone 4. It doesn't seem laggy to me really. The animations are slower than on iOS 6 or before, but still fluid.It works fine on my 4S. Some animations are laggy, but that's expected since it's a beta and that they probably had it finely tuned for the 5.
Any reason why that wasn't released to the public instead?He was probably demoing a newer, more stable beta.
Because it was probably an unfinished Alpha copy or a build specifically for a demo, or it wasn't prepared to be pushed out yet.Any reason why that wasn't released to the public instead?
There is a big difference between demoing a few features in front of an audience that you have rehearsed over and over again (and knowing what not to do to avoid a crash or a problem) and actually running the software and using it in the real world.Then what was Craig demoing on the stage?

Likely to gain more developer feedback. They can' be showing buggy software on the stage either.Any reason why that wasn't released to the public instead?
It couldn't be an alpha copy because logically it'd be buggier which it didn't appear at all to be.Because it was probably an unfinished Alpha copy or a build specifically for a demo, or it wasn't prepared to be pushed out yet.
I'm not having too many problems at all really.The animations are slower than on iOS 6 or before, but still fluid.
...what? How exactly would he be using much better hardware, while holding an iPhone 5 in his hand?It was probably the SAME beta we all have, he was likely using much better hardware... which would make a huge difference. Of course, I'm sure every transition, every app etc was all rehearsed and choreographed as well.
Could have been a 5S....what? How exactly would he be using much better hardware, while holding an iPhone 5 in his hand?
Highly doubt this. Bugs are bugs and if one is present, it will still show regardless of how good the hardware is. It's likely he was using a newer beta which was more stable and optimized.It was probably the SAME beta we all have, he was likely using much better hardware... which would make a huge difference.

Likely a newer build and/or some custom tweaks for specific demo items.Highly doubt this. Bugs are bugs and if one is present, it will still show regardless of how good the hardware is. It's likely he was using a newer beta which was more stable and optimized.
Yes exactly. I suppose it could've been beta 2 which it wouldn't surprise me if they had been already working on that prior to beta 1's release.Likely a newer build and/or some custom tweaks for specific demo items.
And you think it was just an off the shelf phone? If so, you are naive....what? How exactly would he be using much better hardware, while holding an iPhone 5 in his hand?
I don't have many bugs... at least, not with the default apps. Most bugs are with other apps.Highly doubt this. Bugs are bugs and if one is present, it will still show regardless of how good the hardware is. It's likely he was using a newer beta which was more stable and optimized.
THIS. The beta file released and running on people's phones was done in March. I'm sure the one on stage was only a few days old in comparison.He was probably demoing a newer, more stable beta.
Really? How do you know it was done in march?THIS. The beta file released and running on people's phones was done in March. I'm sure the one on stage was only a few days old in comparison.
Movie magic. It was all a video that he just tapped on the phone to make you think it was liveThen what was Craig demoing on the stage?

It may be a special build but it's not a video.Movie magic. It was all a video that he just tapped on the phone to make you think it was live
