doesnt even feel like a beta to me anymore
havent tested it unplugged yet tho ... hope the battery life improved and it wont get as hot anymore
Battery life is already noticeably better, and it does not seem to be overheating as in Beta 1.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone know if the iOS 7 Voice Memo app limits you to 8 minutes in order to make it emailable?
In the current Voice Memo app, if I go above 8 minutes it says it's too big to email. It isn't. It's nowhere NEAR the 20MB limit of most email providers and even further from Gmail's 25MB.
Makes no sense...

Guys,
I've posted a lengthy writeup on the lossless zooming of iOS7 to https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1601763/
I'll soon post another writeup on 720p60 (60 fps) recording.

You can repeat this until you're blue in the face but people have the placebo effect when they look at that list.
Being a developer and have 100% complete understanding of the operation of the multitask list and my family still thinks i'm full of it and are convinced "all those apps are hogging battery/memory..." *sigh*
Feature questions???
I have a few questions hopefully someone can answer.
1. Does the Photos App allow you to create albums without having duplicate pictures
2.Does tabs work the same for the ipad as it does for the iphone
3.can you finally opt out of a group message

In beta 1 on the iPhone 5, it wasn't great...on beta 2 on an iPhone 5, it's actually doing great...
I have had no freezes or reboots yet (had a few a day on B1)
Few things I have noticed:
-I had the keyboard appear then remain with the phone even when "homed" out, had to reboot to get rid of it (that was first reboot) hastnt happened again.
-I keep getting icloud messages to enter password.
-My lock screen seems to be buggy.
-The clock keeps jumping from the middle to the top.
-Also sometimes when I switch between orientations the status bar remains on the side even though the rest of the phone is back in portrait.
anyone seeing any of these?

Why is it so hard to get a quick reply function for Messages?? Do they not take a look at BiteSMS???

That's the #1 feature I want in iOS. They added to Maverick... Such a tease
Very happy with this update. The OS seems to be running much smoother and faster. The music App which was the buggiest App before has definately been massively improved and 3rd apps that were having issues seem to be working better for me as well, with the exception of ebay which still wont load past the splash screen. Also battery life seems to be quite improved as well.
Black or White
I have a white and a black model of both the iPhone 5 and the iPad. During the transition from the Apple logo to the new welcome screen, I noticed only on the white models of each device that the color was reversed, a black apple on a white screen. Has anyone seen this? Was wondering if this was color-specific to the device? Since I only saw two devices do it, I don't know for sure, but a friend of mine had a white iPhone 5 do the same thing, and I didn't see the black-on-white version on any of my black devices

Yep, def a bug - it works fine with the dynamic wallpapers, just not static ones. It also doesn't crop properly while on the preview screen, and freezes a bit while you select it. Which is a good thing, in this case!

Just on the welcome screen, not on the turning it on and off screens?
I think I'd quite like colour specific themes, say black chrome in Safari on a black device, so it blends in with the bezel really bringing the content to the fore, for example.

Yep. Just where the boot logo transitions to the welcome screen. But I would like more color specific stuff too

I have all the same minus the keyboard issue.
I believe the icloud password is due to background app updating or other access
Sorry! But the icons are fine! If they had not changed iOS you would have been here complaining about that!
Like i said before...icons are fine....get over it
1. Beat 2, unlike beta 1, works fine with Hebrew and possibly so with other RTL languages.
2. Funny thing about RTL - in beta 2 they invert the whole "page". So if you want to send txt msg from contact, the symbol is on the left side, not the right side. Also in notifications at lock screen the whole text is aligned right-ways.
3. Music: it's impossible to delete nothing but one song at a time, unlike iOS 6 (important feature to clear up memory fast)

Countdown timer on lock screen
Cool little feature my wife discovered today.
When you have a countdown timer set, the countdown will display on lock screen. Do not know if this was issued in the Beta2 release or iOS7 in general, but it is very useful. No more sliding to unlock everytime you want to see how much time is left!
Not sure if it has been posted yet. Here is a pic from her screen.
