Coming from the iOS dev side, I know how iOS device registration works for my work UDIDs. How does the Mavericks (OSX in general) registration work? I was planning on asking around, but didn't want to give out critical machine data (S/N or an Apple ID) to get "authorized" to install it.

Not sure about Mavericks, the last couple of OSX betas, if you have the ISO you can pretty much just install it.

I need to test a couple of apps I have in the works, but a friend of mine mentioned battery drain using iOS7 has anyone experienced that issue ?
I think the whole UDID situation with iOS has more to do with carriers being concerned with hordes of users running beta software on their networks.
OS X doesn't have to deal with that, so they're more lax.
New iPhone 5 and first day of it but yeah definitely a hit.
Did they alter the corner radius? Looks too round IMO
Unrelated, the Game Center icon is an abomination. Others could use some tweaks, that one deserves death.

Thanks, I'll stick with Xcode 5 to test compatibility for now.
It's Apple's term for Bluetooth devices that broadcast info which react with Passbook.

The bubbles remind me of M-theory, each sphere could be a representation of all the different kinds of games and rule sets they might contain within, not unlike the many different possible universes that might exist.
The only real problem I have with it is the glossiness is out of place compared to the other icons.
Gotta agree. The textures in the old logo were awful, but the visual representation of various genres of games did the job quite well.

This would only work for people that have Bluetooth turned on, though, right?

Thoughts? Features, stability, UI?

It seems like a nice update and so far it has been stable. The only UI changes I've really noticed are the updated Calendar and Notes applications. Calendar looks great but the new background used in the Notes app instead of the old lined paper background looks pretty bad.
As for new features:
- Replying to iMessages directly from the notification is great.
- Tabbed browsing works fine
- Using an Apple TV as a second screen and not just a mirrored screen means that feature is a lot more useful now.
- Battery life seems to be better but I haven't done any serious comparisons yet.
That's all I can think of for now.

Mavericks is very similar to Mountain Lion. You're not really missing anything but the removal of linen, a few minor Safari and Finder updates, iCloud keychain, and Maps. I feel like this might be even cheaper than ML ($10 or free).
The beta is smooth so far, but I haven't done much other than use Safari and iMessages.

I hated the old Game Center logo. The new one is one of the best Apple icons out there.
Mavericks seem like a great update to me. Besides better battery life I can finally tag all of my documents and easily organize them. While I can have more Finder windows open with tabs - it's so great.

Oh yeah, Game Center is still disgusting in Mavericks. Maybe it'll change later.

No one seem to have answered this - yes apps delta update since iOS 6, x2 storage space is still reserved for the app during the update process however as a safety measure in case the update fails.

Hey guys just had a few quick questions about installing iOS7. So once I get the ispw, will iTunes prompt me to upgrade when new betas are released?
Also for downgrading, there was a link posted before, but I cant find it in the thread :/ I just want to see how I can redownload 6.1.3 ispw if I need to downgrade for whatever reason.
Last question, can I restore from a backup to get all my apps, and saved data onto iOS7?

They should be pushing updates over the air since they did that with the iOS6 beta after that feature was implemented.
iTunes automatically downloaded 6.1.3 again for me when I restored through DFU mode for testing it.
Yes.

Oh ok, so when you went into DFU mode, iTunes automatically downloaded to iOS 6 instead of 7?
Thanks for the quick reply!!
Is it only the Clock and Calendar or are there others?

I like a lot of the little animations in iOS 7 but I wish they were a bit faster.

So we still haven't seen or really even heard anything about the iPad versions of iOS 7, have we?
Anybody else holding out hope that the delays are partly due to some attempt to further differentiate it from the iPhone/iPod version of iOS 7?

That's probably the case, I'm guessing a minature version of what delayed iOS 4 on iPad, like the additional work required for the larger interfaces/etc.
Pretty interested in seeing how it'll get handled specifically, with the new layout optimized for removing screen clutter; iPad never really had space issues on that large screen, so I'm hoping they won't go too minimalistic, removing too many buttons etc.

Looks like it, even though by the time you're on the home screen only the calender's icon would be useful
Yeah the icons falling into place coming from lock is way too slow. I like the new transition from app -> homescreen with the view minimizing into the app's icon location
Any noticeable difference in performance? I would really love it to be responsive and snappy as Snow Leopard

Pretty liberal definition of "all over" if any of your options require more than a single step. For the date from within the home screen, you've got pulling down nc and switching to the today tab assuming it's automatically top scrolled when you switch to it. Otherwise the only other method I'm guessing is on the lock screen meaning you'd have to lock/unlock just to pull it up. From there, assuming you're charging you have to wait for the charge percentage indicator to pull away for the date to pull back out, and then assuming you were already using your iphone, go through a slide to unlock.
Think bigger.
¬ Like seeing how much is left on your oyster card (London public transport pass)
¬ Latest stock porftolio value
¬ How much data you've used this month
All without having to go into each app.
And quitting out of an app to go back to the home screen to check your calendar icon which may or may not be on your first page of icons is easier than pulling down NC how? NC is accessible from anywhere in the OS with a simple swipe so yes, it is all over the place. And the time is always displayed in the top bar. I think you're exaggerating the "difficulty" of finding the date. I for one have never used the icon purposefully to look at the date.
Of course those sound great, but that would be up to the 3rd party apps to incorporate and to be honest sound like they'd make things look a bit cluttered and would be much better suited to widgets in notification center if that.

That's what I'm thinking. The iPad lock screen looks barren enough on iOS 6.
And while I'm fine with the "sea of icons" look for the iPhone home screen, something about it looks really drab on the iPad.
I'm not exactly sure what I want, but I hope something a bit more interesting is in the works for the iPad version of iOS 7.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how Finder in Mavericks could be full screen without looking terrible...?
Anybody got any pics?
When it's full screen does it open a separate full screen window or is it still under Desktop?

Moving an app out of a folder that is on thhe bottom row causes phone to restart. I reverted to iOS6, loved the 24 hours I had running 7 tho.

Folders are a bit crash prone in the current seed, yep.

The power-down popup/menu looks straight out of Mirror's Edge, I like (can't screenshot it for obvious reasons).
So happy not to have to contemplate Finder alternatives. To be honest tabs were never as crucial as I thought they were, once you figured out all the key commands and expose, but this will still be a nice usability tweak (especially the command to collapse all windows into one and the tear out/in effect.

I would think Mavericks will look pretty much as is when the GMs released, might see a couple of UI tweaks. Seems like iOS 7 is a huge time suck right.
I hope the login screen is updated to allow wallpaper or Apple created dynamic wallpaper. The grey looks really bland now they've removed the linen.

I just noticed that selecting items from a list in a dropdown has an insanely more pronounced wheel effect now in iOS 7.
Before it was a very subtle curve, but now it feels more like paging through a rolodex.
Don't know if I like it or not, but just noticed it.

You don't need to register anthing. You can install it on any Mac that will run it.
