[Jare]

I shall be keeping this list up to date.

Last Update: Thursday, July 15, 2010 / 1:52AM CST (GMT -600)
Build Number: 8B5080c

iPhone 4 Changes:

• Signal Bar's appear different (last 3 are smaller) and tell me my connection is only 4 bars on Rogers, prior to 5.
• "Check Spelling" Now toggled under settings -> keyboard.
• "Game Center" re-added with a totally different UI. (Preview Below)
• Favorites under "Phone" can now be added as Voice or Facetime.
• Modem Firmware has changed. (iP4 only so far).
• Full AVRCP Support

iPhone 3GS Changes:

• Bar's appear different (last 3 are smaller) and tell me my connection is only 4 bars on Rogers, prior to 5.
• "Check Spelling" Now toggled under settings -> keyboard.
• "Game Center" re-added with a totally different UI. (Preview Below)
• Swiping is slightly snappier on the rubber band effect.

iPhone 3G Changes:

• Signal Bar's appear different (last 3 are smaller) and tell me my connection is only 2-3 bars on Rogers, prior to 4 on my 3GS(4.1) and 5 (4.0).
  (3 3G devices as well as a family members 3G display 2-3 bars.)
• "Check Spelling" Now toggled under settings -> keyboard.

iPod Touch 3G Changes:

iPod Touch 2G Changes:

• Untested by me so far.

BUGS (Tested on 3 3GS devices before listing.)

• Opening "Messages" causes signal bars to appear to drop to 0. Has happened on all my 3GS's but cannot replicated on a factory unlocked iPhone 4. Can still make phone calls when bars drop.
  A restore without backup seemed to fix this issue on 2/3 devices. The third still experiences the issue.

Still looking ladies and gents.

Which part of "I tested this myself and here's what I found" makes this official?

 

[Jare]

What makes this official?

The fact that I'm doing the testing as a dev and I'm keeping it updated as I notice things. Others can contribute to the list and I shall keep the thread updated as much as possible.

And these are *real* changes found, I guess? I'd like to keep this all in one thread?

All good reasons, I hope everyone posts here but I doubt that will happen.


Those wondering, Engadget has an image of the new bar display side-by-side:

I'll add that, thanks.

I'm confirming this official list.

 

[Jare]

So far I don't really see much changing. I'll keep adding and if there are new beta's this thread will be updated.

My exchange calendar entries, which have always been given a random color, got a new light purple color this time that I've not seen before.

 

[Cougarcat]

Could we get a pic of the new Game Center UI?

I shall test this before I add it to the thread. If you can provide me a screenshot that'd be nice.

Appreciate the list.

Random.

All of the calendar colors are a little lighter.

what is gamecenter?

 

[Jare]

Appreciate the list.



Random.

Very, it bothers me. No other app seems to do this but "messages". I have been able to replicate it on 3 3GS's but not on my iP4. I'll be seeing if it affects the iPhone 3G as well.

 

[Kahnyl]

what is gamecenter?

It's like OpenFeint.

 

[Matthew.]

what is gamecenter?

It's a social gaming network; Apple's answer to OpenFeint, Plus+, Crystal, etc.

Too bad I have no one to test it with. Someone send me a request, but I guess it's sorta pointless seeing as no one has games that support it.

wow gamecenter looks gay as balls now. I hope we get an option to delete it.
**** apple's stock apps.

I sent you one

I sent you one

That was the WEIRDEST noise I have ever heard. The request, I mean. Yikes.
