New and improved!
New weather interface(right) is much harder to read than the old one (left).
Wow, they almost missed a change to leave "good enough" alone.
It's more like white text on blue background, which isn't that bad. But I agree, you lose the contrast of white on black which is of course easier on the eyes. My guess is that the screenshot on the right was taken on at night, or a rainy day? Or was it always dark when showing the weather? I don't know because I barely use the weather app.
EDIT: yeah so the screenshot on right was taken at "night," the time at the top reads 23:01 which is 11:01pm. A better comparison would be to take both screenshots during daytime and then compare regarding text color and background color. As it is, the spacing and everything, much better in the upcoming iOS8.
EDIT 2: Maybe you mean the white time numbers on the white clouds; but I imagine those clouds are dynamic and moving. Or if it wasn't a cloudy day, they probably wouldn't even be there. Still it seems like it would be an issue during a cloudy daytime view of the weather app as it is currently.
Shame we can't choose ourselves where to get our weather data from. Living here in the UK I would quite like to get it from the Met Office.
Wasn't Yahoo Weather powered by TWC, so it's the same data as before?
Who's to say you won't be able to?
Maybe Siri will only use Apple's weather app/source but with the widgets feature assuming the weather underground app (or whatever app you like) plugs into that feature you can get that source to show up in your today view.

When on the multitasking screen where you double click the home button, does anyone have an idea how to enable pic icons of our recent contacts? Been just showing their initials the past two betas.
Not sure what you mean? Mine have been working. Of course for the ones that I have pictures with.
One glaring omission is the new WiFi calling feature, which features the first adopter TMobile. ATT never, or refuse to get with the program. I wonder how long VZW will hold out since they do provide FiOS internet?
I have pictures of my recent contacts, oddly it does not display them while on the multitasking screen. It even shows their pics on my iPad and macbook imessage but not my iphone.
You won't see ATT or VZW offering Wi-Fi calling due to the strength of their networks. Even thought the reduction of use of the cellular network would offer them a lot of benefit. Maybe Sprint due to their crappie network.
T-Mobile WIFI Calling
I have T-Mobile and I don't have that in my "Phone" settings.. I've been able to WIFI call since Beta 1.

I see. I guess post titles don't show up on the mobile forums. Often hard to get the flow of a post if part of it is one place and another in another (assuming both even show up, given that titles don't seem to on the mobile site).
I've had to completely re-install the OS a few times. I'm sure you've tried that? So I don't know.. probably another glitch.
It is mentioned in changelog / Know Issues buddy. They say that in some previous iDevices, Weather will display without background color, showing transparency instead.
In Settings go to -> Phone and check if favorites contacts pictures toggle switch is enabled, not sure about translation because my phone is set to Spanish.
I got it working too my question is there a way to know your actually on wifi calling? I called when I actually had no service so I knew wifi calling works.... Example is on a galaxy s4 the phone would tell you your using wifi calling and turns off the cell radio to show it's on wifi calling I didn't notice anything on the iPhone
No it doesn't say that. If you want to double check.. Go into settings and turn off cellular. It will make a phone call just fine.
If iOS got a Dark Theme it will be awesome
Comparing Remote app UI with the stock Music app UI, it is a KO.
