Still broken.
I think Apple need to update the app "podcast", to be compatible with iOS 7... we need to wait it.
Just kidding, it looks actually functional for the first time ever.
Anyways, they rearranged Control Centre slightly.
Mine looks nothing like that on an iPhone 5 or iPad Mini
Edit: He had the device turned sideways, nevermind
... with Beta 2 it constantly loops and is unreadable. You guys pissed someone off in Cupertino?
Nope. All those comments, one after the other, about icons not being changed are real.
Wonder if they have fixed the 60+% cpu usage running all the time and draining the battery and making the phone hot.
Guess ill have to install and find out

sounds like my galaxy S3
Is anyone having an infinite loading loop of macrumors.com in iOS7 beta 2 - happens Safari, Roccat and Chrome (all three browser I have) it's really annoying.
Also can't remove or delete apps as every time I hold down it resprings
Yes. MacRumors... What's going on? Infinite "mobile theme" toggle is displayed.
Oops... Apple hates us.
Not really, but you should still get it. The app developers, the good ones at least, will make this an incredibly ( and incredibly different ) exciting platform for the next few years.
It is almost like Apple is sick and tired of people copying them. One way to solve that is to radically change it and dare the competition. It will be a shame if Android and Samsung simply copy all this.
(True, some aspects of iOS 7 are spiritually similar to Android and Windows Phone, but that is all small potatos compared to what iOS 7 really is. Throwing a whole physics engine to the general purpose UI for starters is quite a startling one and should be awesome for developers to take advantage of it and make it fun to use the device )
It consumes too much horizontal space for me. Look at the screenshots. The wifi bars are right next to the time, which looks awkward and causes other items to now be transfered to the right side of the status bar (such as the spinning loading circle). To me, having the loading spinning circle constantly next to battery seems out of place and unnecessary; it's not worth the "shine" of the dots. Granted, "AT&T M-Cell" is a long carrier title, but it's not much longer than "Verizon" or "T-Mobile".
Code:
AT&T M-Cell
Verizon
T-MobileThe dots consume too much horizontal real estate in a place where such space is already sparse; it makes for a cumbersome status bar.
Data toggle
Please bring a data toggle for the control center. That was the only reason I had to jailbreak my iPhone. I only have 100MB of data every month so I have to toggle data multiple times per day.
I don't need a toggle for wifi, but desperately need one for data!

It's annoying that you can't delete entire albums anymore. I had to delete about 100 songs individually so that I could update OTA.
She could never turn it back off for me. always said its already off. maybe thats why.
They do seem much quicker. I noticed this right off the bat. Also, maybe some improvements with the keyboard? Anyone else? Seems as if the ' bubble' around each key has expanded.
Still broken on my 4S, I can't update or listen to any podcasts. Another reason why I dislike that they removed it from the iPod app.
I did a quick search in this thread for "lock screen" and didn't see anyone post, so hopefully this isn't a dup...
I've been using a lock screen that has a lot of white in the background, and this made it impossible to read the displayed time except in the half second where the screen was fading in.
Beta 2 addresses the problem, apparently by making sure there are no truly white parts of the background (probably some grey overlay with opacity). It's nice to be able to see the time in the lock screen again.
On the flip side, using a dark wallpaper on the Home Screen now results in an unreadable set of top menu items (cell signal, wifi signal, time, etc.). Had to switch to using a pic with a light background in order to see those items.
