Yes.....otherwise how would any of our phones function? Are you assuming that devs aren't restricted by the same expiration dates? Of course they are - all the date means is Apple will stop signing the first beta by that date so there's no way (unless you have the ipsw's saved) to downgrade.

Much like there are still some people on iOS 5 even though Apple hasn't signed iOS 5 in over a year.

It's not like Apple has some "kill switch" that will render all iPhones on beta 1 useless.

Yea no, the expiration date is a very hard and fast date. On that date/time your phone will cease to function in any way shape or form. You will be required to restore it in iTunes to do anything.

Music App has been updated - the artists default photo used to be a random album cover from within your collection. Now it looks like its an iTunes default profile picture. Much nicer.

hope the batter has improved though. thats what i really care about.

They still haven't given us the "play all by this artist" back. hope that comes back soon
 
I installed on my iPad 3 fine. Then I rebooted because it didn't seem like it was restoring from iCloud correctly. Now when it boots it shows the Apple logo, then a frozen spinning wheel shows for about 5 min. Then the screen goes black and no buttons do anything except doing a hard reboot which restarts the process.

I'm hoping I can restore from this when I get back to my desk.
 
I prefer the USA female voice of Siri,

'Siri, tell me a joke'

I can't. I always forget the punch line

'Please tell me a joke'

Ian, I don't know any good jokes, None in fact.

'Tell me a joke'

What did one iPhone say to the other iPhone? ... Hmmm, I used to know this one.

Siri is becoming quite a comedian lol

You could do that when she first came out. Also, if you annoy/ask long enough, she'll sing you a song!

The line they have put across the top will disappear if you have a dynamic wallpaper.

Looks the same to me as it did in beta one
 
i havent used apple maps in a long time, so i decided to give it another shot to see if it had improved with ios 7. i still cannot believe they eliminated public transportation.

y??

Eliminated? Never had it. Takes a lot of data piped in from a lot of sources. No easy feat.

Now tell me why the Google Maps app doesn't do cycling directions but the mobile web app does?

I have NEVER had a good experience with public transportation in Google maps. The fair has been off for years, and the times are always off. I ended up downloading an app made by locals and it's MUCH better.

Apple gave a reason why public transit was not in Apple Maps. They want third party developers providing apps for this data segment.

Anyone else having a problem where Siri doesn't work? You hit the button and you get the Siri on tone and then Siri off tone right after each other.

Exactly. There is really no standardized method or place for the grouping of this data. Those transit authorities that even do provide public feeds and APIs likely all do it differently to boot.
 
I'm having trouble with iMessage. It's causing my phone to hiccup and freeze up when I turn it on. I reset network settings and even restarted no such luck. anyone experiencing this?

P.S. I am registered.

Mine won't activate again either. Happened in beta 1 and fixed itself after 2 days of me trying EVERYTHING. Literally just about any suggestion I came across here, or on Google, I tried. Nothing worked except leaving it alone. It sucked.

i'M wondering if this has something to do with their servers getting hammered by the downloads..it seems to happen and resolve itself with every os release.

I had a slight hiccup in Beta 1 with it but man it's wrecking the OS on Beta 2 for me.

- The Messages app is freezing up the phone because I think it's trying to send via iMessage (because its actually turned on) but it's unable to do so and it takes like 30 seconds for it to fall back to SMS instead. Let's hope it clears up.
 
Is PhotoStream working for anybody? I've had Beta 2 installed for a few hours now but new pictures taken aren't going in my PhotoStream (I'm connected to Wi Fi and full battery too)
