Emboldening type creates a visual hierarchy so having smaller bolder type with lighter headings gives an uneasy balance over all. Its subtle and not many people would be able to notice whats wrong but it wouldn't feel/look right. Thats why they've gone up a weight on everything, to keep the balance.
Got a tip for us?

For the last time. Turn off all the system location services. You don't need them and it will boost your battery life dramatically.
Issues with new safari build in ios7 beta 3
I've noticed an issue with some of my responsive websites in the new build of safari for ios7. Has anyone else seen this? I think it may be an issue with how the viewport is being read. It's ignoring media queries on some pages.

I know the MLB At Bat app crashed on the previous version every time I would try and do something and seems to work on this version. Hopefully that means various apps will operate better in this version.
I actually really like this so you don't have to scroll all the way to the left when you're on another page. It will take some getting used to but I think it's a better user experience decision.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect APPLE to produce a beta that at a minimum has decent battery life. We aren't talking about some small niche company here, it's APPLE for **** sake. Stop giving them a free pass on everything.
Here's a bit of a short cut: to type one digit, hold your finger on the number key (123) and drag your finger over to the number you want, then let go. The keyboard will change back to alphabetic without needing you to hit 123 again.
iPad dual status bar fixed!
Just updated my iPad to IOS7 Beta 3 and saw something no one has mentioned....
THEY FIXED THE STATUS BAR BUG!!!
In Beta 2, the status bar "stays" when you rotate it, leaving 2 status bars, one on the horizontal side and one on the vertical side. Glad to see it fixed.

It is entirely unreasonable. The OS is BETA. This release is intended for app developers to test compatibility with their apps, and not for general usage. If that's not you, then tough cheddar!
The font is now much better
The gif really makes it clear to me that the "old" font is far too "unsharp" or lacks enough contrast to the background. I am very glad the Apple now has changed "the not so easy to see and read" (Ultra thin) font to a regular one, one that is easier to see, especially in a daily hurry, a situation in which the iPhone must function in a good way to most people, regardless of their eye sight. Function must be balanced with form, and the former font had IMO not a good enough functionality/readability: It was too unclear to see, for many people. And that is the crucial matter.

Ohhh yess they were...and still are. Especially Safari. The rest look cartoonish. The entire "new" look of iOS 7 is childish. It looks like something a 7 yr old would draw with pastel crayons. I expected MUCH more from Apple.

Mute in iPad IOS7 Beta 3
I also noticed a "mute" button now in Control Center in iPad.
Has it always been there?
Oh and I noticed the ICON TEXT now has DROP SHADOWS when against white background. Very obvious at the third row, with the Temple Run II icon. It's not in the other non-white background, like Line Runner, first icon 4th row.

Yes, actually, it is absolutely unreasonable. Creating a stable OS with decent battery life across multiples devices is a lot of work that requires a lot of testing. Testing is precisely what the Beta phase is for. It lets Apple find the flaws and iron them out, as well as giving Devs like us a chance to tailor our apps to run on the new OS, all prior to public release. If the public release of the OS has terrible battery life for most users, then perhaps your complaint would be reasonable. Otherwise, whining in the Beta phase is silly. If its not working well for you, don't use it until the public release!

Ha! All these years, and I never knew this! Awesome, thanks! This is great for long, alphanumeric passwords.
Ah. Well, I hate those because they never do what I want. This is why I don't use chrome. So that's bad news for me regardless.
That may be part of the intention but they surely aren't going to get the level of bug reports without a subset of users outside of the dev community. Again we are talking about APPLE, the company with hundreds of billions in cash.

Maybe so but how is battery performance something that needs to be re-learned on every friggin new version of the OS? You'd think they know that is 1. A priority and 2. Something that they've optimized on every previous version of the OS. 3. How does a beta even go out without having battery life optimized from day one?
