General iOS 7 beta 1 thread

Doesn't seem intuitive to have the arrow hinting at control center on the lock screen. I keep swiping up instead of across to unlock! 😛

Yeah that struck me as really odd. Hopefully something they'll change before public release.

New Animations

Power off.
Fade in and out is more prominent when you press the sleep wake button.

Sweet - installed and checking things out now. Oh for those wondering where spotlight went - drag the home screen down.

Thanks, that was driving me nuts trying to figure out where it was.

The 'search iPhone' is no longer a swipe to the left on the home screen. You now swipe down to reveal a search bar. Much better IMO.

Really wish my UDID registration would process, I wanna give this a try but the site I bought off hasn't sent me the OK yet.

Someone turn on the blAck and white toggle under accsesibilities I wanna see what it looks like that

 

[Risco]

Only in the Favourites screen

Cheers, and that is annoying!

Still there but it has been promoted to the top menu of settings now.

I wish they has it in control ceneter.

Can anyone running the beta tell me if Apple now gives you unlimited space in Photostream?

The feature they showed off had years of photos stored. I can't see multiple years of photos being kept on the device unless it uses photostream and gives you unlimited space.

Folder colors are based on the "theme" of the phone. Influenced by the color of the wallpaper.

new facetime app is buggy

yes, the clock app is a live icon with a second hand is constantly moving.

 

[retrospek]

the biggest thing for me that I don't like so far are the icons and the folder colours - looks really weird..

won't that interfere with Notification Center though? how does that work?

 

[bertishere]

anyone tried installing this without registering their UDID yet?

This is nice to enter the search screen from any page of apps.

Can someone tell me what version of iTunes is needed to install 7? Just the current 11.0.4 or did they release a newer one today?

Grab anywhere on the screen and pull down...not from the top of the screen.

I can confirm spotlight is gone!
I haven't looked through all the settings.

Pull downand a search iPhone box comes up.

I was able to restore to 7.0 from an earlier version (11.0.x) but had to update to 11.0.4 to restore my 6.x backup

FWIW non-registered devices worked last year.

Instagram isn't running correctly on iOS 7. Some pictures are displayed as grey boxes and the layout sometimes lags.

Also, having issues with the layout of a few other apps, particularly ones that display the date/time in some places, such as when a photo/video was posted.

I've noticed some other bugs as well.

This..

Before installing, I thought the screenshots looked okay. Now that I see it on the actual phone, they really do look like a child was playing with Photoshop and these somehow made it to the beta.

I really hope they scrap these icons and produce something better.

On a side note, is there any way that as a developer we can let Apple know these sorts of things, or do they really only care about actual bugs with the OS? I've done a few bug reports, but they were for broken functionality.

Thanks!

Not sure if this mentioned already, but the clock icon is the correct time, and sweeps hands. Very nice little feature.

I may be late but has anyone tried iOS 7 on a iPhone 4?


Disclosure: I've got my upgrade in my back pocket just waiting on the 5s or whatever it'll be called😛
