But I'm not downgrading.
I have a jailbroken iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1 and I want to install iOS 7 b1 on it instead.
So all I do is restore it to iOS 6.1 (so that the jailbreak is removed) and install iOS 7 afterward?

I'm still catching up on all the iOS7 news/features cuz of E3, but man Apple sure is going to confuse everyone by allowing more than 12 apps in a folder now.
The device must be in DFU mode for it to work, but yes, that's the method. Note that you don't even need a 6.1.4 update file, you could just click Restore normally and it will download 6.1.4 and install it.

That's what I get for not reading.
Yes, that should do it. It's probably safe updating from a jailbroken OS, but why risk it.
ok cool. thanks for the response!

Watching some of the developer videos now. Some of the more developer-oriented features are pretty cool. Like who the heck else besides Apple would have thought to put something like

and that Apple also has new stuff for
Also seeing a scene from
was pretty cool.

I've heard that there's no limit, I'm not sure myself. I have 6 pages in one folder though so 9x6 at the very least
. I'm guessing if there's a limit it'll be 10 pages or something if anything.chickdigger802

another year another time to ask, can 3rd party browsers finally tap into the nitro goodness?
Apple did promise they will open some stuff up to the devs right?

9? did they lower the amount that can be on one folder page?
Yes. It's now a 3x3 grid to match the icon. And you scroll pages. I'm not sure I want to open a folde and scroll for miles again. I'll just have to rethink my organisation I guess.
whaaaat? that's so lame (well, it's good that there are folder pages, at least). and it's 3x3 no matter which phone you have? i have an iphone 5, so going from 16 to 9 is crazy.

This is the WWDC thread, not just an OS thread.

who cares about developer video spoilers? so strange.
Fucking awesome. Can't wait for Mavericks.

Maybe trying to get around that we're technically under NDA? It's like something Barry Zuckercorn would come up with.

really want to know this as well.
Yeah it's a little bit meh but you get used to it. I'm finding 18-27 apps a folder works out nice now. I wish it was a scroll bar instead of pages but eh, Apple.
No news on iPad yet. I'm guessing around Beta 2 time if we're lucky.
I can see them doing an August education event like they did in 2012. They can show iOS 7 and how it makes iBooks and textbooks better.
Most likely scenario: shown at iPhone 5S conference available at new iPads launch in October.

That reminds me of when I showed a friend you could caps by pressing shift twice on the keyboard.

Most likely scenario: beta 2 or 3 will add support for iPad.
If they can't, I'll jailbreak my phone again.
Ha, I made a joke about what was next ... Folders within folders?
Actually, the animations go a log way into keeping you oriented. I still think its not a great idea, though.

It's an option.
same problem here. Chrome's implementation with the keyboard accessory view is much much nicer.

True, and there has been many obscure betas with options that never made it. Like sideways multitasking and gestures on the iPhone (apparently Apple is still fiddling with those) years ago.
But I think that, if Apple is embracing pages in the folders, then folders in folders are a logical step (only ONE level though). Because each home screen folder becomes its own themed homescreen, if that makes sense. Games homescreen, etc. I think it would be cool and helpful for proper organization.
Only thing bothering me is the nine apps per page.
I agree. It would be illogical to allow one more level ONLY, because then people would ask why. I do think pages on a folder as being a little odd too, but I see JTS' point about each folder being a mini home. Maybe they needed to just do something different in a folder like just having it scroll.
Maybe eventually we'll see a non-icon-based home screen, but apple is typically baby-steps about such large adjustments.
I still enjoy the app-based home screen. The whole premise was that they were 'buttons' on a changing UI. That said, it made more sense in Steve Jobs 'stock' iPhone, the one that didn't run third-party apps. Now that it really is a whole platform, maybe it should evolve to be more of a mini computer. Like have something more akin to a lock screen be your 'home'. I.e android.
I mean, if they reckon it's time to no longer need the skeuomorphic cues to teach people to use iOS, then it could be time to move entirely from the whole 'app-buttons' too. But yeah, baby-steps.

Awesome. I can finally keep all my games together.

That's the first thing I did - put all my games in a folder. But I found that since it shows you 9 icons per page, if you have a lot of games you may be scrolling a lot to find a particular one (or using spotlight).
Yeah, they'll just allow you to either do it or not, not give an option.
I already put all my games on one page (3 pages total) and organise my games by genre. I find a little appropriate emoticon to label the folder with as we'll as name. For example 'Board games' and the emoji of a dice.

While I was under the impression that the NDA was only for people who had paid actual money for one of the developer programs and not just developers who had registered a developer account, I still figured I'd be safe anyways, just in case...

Looks like Apple is finally using the huge iPad screen real estate with iOS 7. That folder view was just beautiful.

I was just fawning over the switches last night. They're really beautiful. The subtle drop shadow and that shade of green with the white look amazing.
