I knew they would have to up the weight on the font. At small sizes, even on a Retina screen they must look poor on certain backgrounds. They've had to go up in weight across the board to keep everything in sync.
Shame as it makes quite a difference to the style but rule number one in typography is extremely light type should only be used for display headings.

But it is conceptually consistent with the blue dot that currently denotes:
- Newly downloaded and unread emails (iOX and OSX)
- Newly downloaded and unwatched movies in iTunes (Mac iTunes and ATV)
are listening to, and acting upon feedback about the UI where usability is compromised, but ignoring the feedback about the UI which is subjective. 
im sorry but 7 is miles behind 6. are they planing to make the os after mavericks similar to ios 7 (i hope not), else ios7 is going to look dramatically different than osx! and they are in the same software ecosystem! ios6 was already elegant it needed some changes yes but the new thing is nothing even close to elegant or stripped; if ios6 is a maple tree then ios7 is a christmas tree!
as for these changes. well im surprised they even thought to use that nueve ultra light bullcrap in the first place, and to think it was even on a billboard, now this is a designing fiasco!
im still waiting for new icons! and a massively toned down version of the current windows aero...

... Yes, they will. That is the major reason they do this whole beta testing phase. Fixing the issues with iOS 7 and allowing developers to make sure their apps will work when iOS 7 launches.
If you are a) not a developer and/or b) installing a beta OS on your main device, you clearly don't understand how this thing works.
I appreciate the consideration of the typography. The design of every element on iOS has much more importance than ever now and that is the soul of Apple.
Looking forward to the GM release

Is it just me or is this .com thing in safari a major issue? I really think they should add a band above the keyboard with various options for quick touch. For example http://www.123macmini.com/news/images/newsstory1287_1.jpg In this image you can see how organic the top keyboard bar will feel.

to be honest,thats a very long carrier name. what solution do you suggest?

That triangle is there to denote that on the lockscreen you can pull down the notification center from the lockscreen. Otherwise most ppl would not realize that.
Beta
You gotta give credit to Ive and team unveiling a roughly designed version of iOS7 knowing backlash was coming but embracing that criticism immediately and keeping on track for fall release.

Anyone else prefer the thinner font in the previous beta's?
Yeah! I thought I was the only one that preferred the helvetica neue ultra light font.
Why do people resist change for the sake of what they are used to instead of what is better?
Folder "background"
My folder "backgrounds" are now a light green in b3.
I changed wallpaper a couple weeks ago to one with lighter colors than my previous and really liked the way it looked. When my phone started back up after the OTA update, I immediately noticed the light green, which doesn't blend with the wallpaper like it used to. And, to be honest, I now cannot recall what it looked like 30 minutes ago.
