As much as I'd like a darker option I get the feeling that unless you want to look at the compass in bed you'll be out of luck.

Weren't there rumors abt the UI changing colors with time of day? Maybe in the next version.

I've spent a bit more time comparing apps, here's a few images:

[giga]

Yep, iOS 6 looks pretty ugly in comparison. Especially more so in video.

 

[Chittagong]

This is by far the best.

Yup.

Gonna be a long and tough wait.

 

[Treefingers]

Guys.. I could be wrong here (just used for a few minutes) but I'm pretty sure Safari reloading when going back is finally fixed in Mavericks.

 

[Shearie]

To anyone in the beta, will the flashlight still be on when you lock the iPhone and turn the screen off?

 

[LeleSocho]

Allow me to warn you all against using Mavericks just yet. I just went through a 3 hour time capsule restore because it was causing a few crucial apps to crash over and over. Nothing much to see there anyway.

I know it's still early but do you find any difference in battery life?

Confirmed, yes.

Good question.

Confirmed, yes.

Good answer.

 

[Shearie]

Confirmed, yes.

Awesome!

 

[Treefingers]

Ouch.. "Enable access for assistive devices" is gone in Mavericks. Sucks for a lot of utility apps.

Safari Power Saver is pretty neat though.

 

[wetflame]

Anyone on the iOS 7 beta outside the US, does iTunes Radio still show up even though you can't use it?

 

[Mafro]

Are the sharing widgets for Facebook and Twitter still there in the notification center?

 

[TUSR]

Went to install iOS7 around 10 and it was still busy as balls.

Is it not on by default? It seems like an odd setting to remove.

 

[hirokazu]

surprised they didn't do more to iMessages. These days, messaging apps can send photos/videos, make calls, custom emoticons, send locations, send contacts, audio messages, and more. Yet iMessages can only...send photos/videos.

Huh? You can do all those things except audio messages and custom emoticons.

 

[hEist]

couldn't find them.

something else:
you can swipe back in the settings to get back.

 

[Lkr]

You can swipe back and forth in just about everything. Very reminiscent of webos

 

[Treefingers]

Nope, all my apps needing it from before ask to enable it. I'll look around to see if there's a Terminal command still out there, or maybe they moved it somewhere.

Honestly haven't noticed anything different with scrolling performance, except it's more glitchy.

Edit: There is a noticeable improvement in Safari though.

 

[Shearie]

Another question to anyone in the iOS 7 beta. Have they expanded the options for Do Not Disturb? In particular, can it work while the phone is unlocked?

 

[Milchjon]

Yep, iOS 6 looks pretty ugly in comparison. Especially more so in video.

It has looked like shit for years now. It's weird how some people only seem to realize this now.

 

[Ignignort]

For those in the Beta...


How do you add the weather in to the notification center?! I've looked everywhere and I can't find it!

 

[Quick]

Just thought of this now: is iTunes Radio US-only?

 

[Ermac]

Who's got the iOS 7 Wallpaper? Post plz.

 

[Tunesmith]

This posted?

AppStore now has 'nearby popular apps' and a wish list for apps (can see why they went after AppShopper now).

For those in the Beta...

That's not implemented yet, the widget I mean.

 

[minor effort]

Is iTunes Radio US only? I fucking hate US only things.

I'm in Japan and iTunes Radio is working for me here. I do have a US iTunes account, but at least it's not blocking by IP (yet).

 

[Jonogunn]

How do u send location?

 

[spoon!]

Reminds me of long cat

 

[Burger]

iTunes wont let me install apps onto the phone for some reason.

iOS 7 on iPhone 4 is just as agonising as 6 was. Upgrade in the fall I think.

 

[twobear]

No thanks. Gimmicky crap. Reminds me of old Android phones that let you customise LED notification flash colours; tacky and tasteless.

 

[Ashhong]

Hmm so is there no setting to toggle just how translucent you want the layers to be? Seems like an obvious setting, but maybe too much for Apple to allow users to do.

Also what's with the ugly textured background on the Notes app I thought they wanted everything flat and simple.

No thanks. Gimmicky crap. Reminds me of old Android phones that let you customise LED notification flash colours; tacky and tasteless.

How the hell is this tacky and tasteless? That's a great feature imo.

Right now I'm trying it out on a iPod Touch 5G, but my iPhone is a 4. I've been kinda dreading to think of how it'll run on there.

Is it at least not significantly slower than iOS 6 is on there?

 

[hirokazu]

You do it via Share Sheets in Maps or Find My Friends.

It's not significantly slower, but the phone is 3 years old and it shows. I'm surprised they included it.

Well, they are still selling the iPhone 4, so they want to keep it current. But it is the only A4 device getting iOS7.

Notice how the 4th gen iPod Touch was quietly discontinued a couple weeks ago, and hey, no iOS 7 (although I think that only has 256MB of RAM, where the iPhone 4 has 512, so that makes a difference)

 

[Burger]

This screen needs some work Mr. Ive...

 

[minor effort]

The one iOS7 quirk I'm trying to figure out is why the 3rd gen iPad isn't getting AirDrop, but the Mini is.

Anyone got any insight into that omission? 3rd gen iPad can't be that stale.

 

[Bomber Bob]

what's a vibration pattern?

The mini is the newest version, where as the 3rd gen iPad is not. Got to have a reason to upgrade.

 

[NekoFever]

Lets you tap out a custom rhythm for when it vibrates with a call.

 

[Damon Bennet]

Love that

wow pretty cool

 

[Burger]

More vibration stuff (this is in Notification Centre)

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Has there been a screen shot of the passbook app yet?

 

[NekoFever]

Looking at that screenshot, I wonder how the phone is going to handle networks with really long IDs. O2-UK kind of fits, but my work phone has 'vodafone UK' along the top and it already looks cluttered, even without the longer signal indicator for iOS 7.

 

[JonnyBrad]

What? One thing I love about my nexus 4 over my 4s is lightflow changing the led for what kind of notification I have.

 

[CrankyKong]

What was the reason behind not showing new retina macbooks?

 

[Technosteve]

It gives you a description of the weather in txt

They will cut it and add ... They do this already on some long names.
