What bothers me is that you can't quickly go into multitasking and tap on the next app you want. I end up having to tap the app twice. Annoying.
I can't believe there isn't a Boromir meme to go along with this phrase.....
Internetz, you're letting me down.
Is there anything about restrictions. Should be, here and when you open any store and sign into settings. That way no one can say they didn't know.
How about deleting or adding to group chats, group SMS/mms staying together, mixing of the two groups. Support for things like AIM, jabber.
That Reminders list view seems to have some remnants of skeuomorphism.
I spy paper texture and letterpress!

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
I fixed my battery life issues by turning off "Popular near me" on the location services. It seemed that it was basically always using location services therefore always draining my battery.
I tried to find on the forum any reference regarding the Find My Friends app in iOS7 but couldn't find any. If this has been covered I am sorry. Is Find My Friends still included? I am actually using this feature quite a bit and would miss it.
And no: I am not a stalker or a criminal, I just find it useful sometimes.

For someone like me who has very poor eyesight, the extensive use of the "thin" font may make iOS7 a deal-breaker. I love the iPhone, but I can barely read that weather screen, for starters. Fortunately, iOS6 should be adequate for at least a couple more years.
It's disappointing, though. Apple has always been a leader in the universal accessibility arena. This redesign seems to undo so much of what has been accomplished.

I have the new beta Siri voice working on my iPhone five. It sounds great and more realistic, however when I select text on the Internet and click speak the old Siri voice comes out. This is unfortunate because I mostly use Siri's voice when reading books on Kindle or iBooks. And articles on the Internet since I have eyestrain. I did notice there is a download enhanced version for the voices in the settings however after downloading nothing changed. Is this happening for everyone? Anyone know a fix?
Find My Friends was never included -- its an app you have to install.
The App store app doesn't work in iOS7 but there is a beta app available to developers.
Weird thing (to me) though is that it didn't get any kind of visual update.
I would have expected that if they were going to update it they would have made it more inline with the rest of iOS7's look.
Maybe in the next beta.....
Sorry, forgot that it was a separate app. Now as you say (write) it, I remember installing it.

Battery drained in little more than an hour. Do they think i should test my apps on the cable all the time?
He ended up losing his head over all those quips; that's why no one has done one.
Tap the app icon rather than the screenshot and it'll go straight into the app rather than scrolling for you to tap again
