it downloads updates from the app store automatically doesn't let it pull data in the app itself.

No that's automatic updates, background refresh lets apps wake up to do background updates. Not sure if it's functioning yet.

Did OTA update go smoothly for everyone?

Went just fine here.

Vine seems to be completely broken.

Calendar is still pretty useless as you can't see what days have appointments.

 

[The Real Abed]

More screenshots of iPad, please!

Anyway, I hope a Mavericks update is coming too. Finder is a bit fucked up right now in that it sometimes remembers open folders but others will completely forget all of them and opens with nothing. As soon as that's fixed, I will actually start using it normally. Unless there's a way to use AppleScript to open a single Finder window with a set of preset folders all in tabs.

I'm noticing that when my phone is locked and I get a notification my phone will buzz but when I wake it up, the lock screen is black. Go to the home screen and I'll see I have a new message but no lock screen notifications. Anyone else having this happen?

Maybe I should just reboot my phone, since I haven't since installing beta 2.

 

[Majine]

^ What the fuck? And I thought the iPhone version felt space inefficient.

 

[Pachimari]

I thought the notification center filling out the whole iPad screen were one of the most request design changes.

Finally updated my iPhone. Seems very nice even though Skype still crashes but that's to be expected. Faster animations too.

But am I the only one who experiences that when I press the sleep button it actually doesn't go to sleep? It doesn't react at all. It was also that way on beta 1, in fact the problem only started today. May it be my sleep/off button which has broken?

Cause it only turns off the screen sometimes.

 

[badcrumble]

How does Contacts look now on the iPad?

 

[Appleman]

Whoa. No idea if this was always a thing, but if you slide the camera icon on the lock screen like halfway, you can slam it back down with a flick and it bounces depending on how hard you slam it. You can even slam it down hard enough that it bounces up completely and activates the camera.

(This was probably in iOS6 and I'm just an idiot)

 

[Majine]

Regarding folders, they should've just gone Mavericks-style, atleast for iPad.

That sounds like software glitching to me, I had that the first time I updated straight to Beta 1 without a restore (instead of Restore-Updating), solved itself after I restored the phone and then recovered my backup. No issues since.

 

[DrEvil]

There's finally some frosted glass underneath the status bar in Messages.app -- in beta 1 you could see your blue/white clouds under the transparency where the time/battery life was.. now it's all blurry and nice

Yeah this is new in iOS 7.

 

[Nero3000]

That picture of folders on an ipad is ridiculous, I hope its a first try.

 

[NYR]

Battery life is much better.

Two hours in and at 91%. Usually I'm down to 75% in that time when using beta 1.

lol, this is so dumb. You can slam it down so hard that it bounces back all the way to the top and opens the app.

I thought they were getting rid of the cheese factor?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

just when I messed up my iPhone by enlarging everything with my ears I am offered beta 2

hope it works better I have a few broken apps I would like to work

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It's the same as iPhone. Just a line of zoomed out screenshots.

 

[Meantime]

Battery life is much better.

I'm still getting bad battery life. I went for a walk listening to a podcast and dropped from 100% to 81% in 50 minutes. It's better than it was in beta 1 (was regularly dropping 30%+ in 45 minutes on my trip to work, again just listening to podcasts) but it's still pretty terrible. My phone is still running very hot as well, although not as much as before.

 

[Appleman]

I think the bounce when you flick down notification centre is even worse, just really annoys me and makes me wait before I interact.

I honestly think the folders look hideous and are functionally annoying. I actually really liked the folder design in iOS6 where they were 'revealed' and I liked the heavy weighted folder name (and even the linen!). Would much prefer the iOS6 folders with the Mavericks aesthetic, and maybe a scrolling/paging system for more icons.

Open folder on iPad. Another example of wasted space:

Not this way, Apple. Not this way. Hopefully it's an oversight. The folders should at least hold the same amount they did before per page. Which means one more row for iPhone (Instead of one more column) and a hell of a lot more for iPad. I think every page should hold the same amount as the home pages sans dock. That's just a waste. Thankfully it's probably going to change by release.

It's just a physics effect....not like you are accidentally gonna have open and slam it open without consciously making that decision.

 

[NYR]

Looks like there is a new arrow in the control center? I'm talking about the ^ arrow at the top. When you flick up, it is a flat line like - .

When you slide all the way up, it reaches the old arrow pointing down.

Same deal with notification center.

Also when you type in a phone number and hold down the Call button it automatically does a FaceTime Audio call.

Ugh, black text on "bright" wallpaper is gross. It doesn't work, you should have the option of choosing the text color.

Picked a panorama of a mountain and a lake that I took. Looked great with white text in beta 1 - black makes it looks awful, unreadable.

Having the same problem in beta 2 - it's choosing black text for the icon labels. But it's white on the lockscreen, where it SHOULD be black, because I can't read the time at all.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Fine for me.

Vine seems to be completely broken.

Calendar is still pretty useless as you can't see what days have appointments.

What is the keychain feature?

An iCloud synced password/sensitive credentials manager for Safari (and other iOS apps eventually), like LastPass or 1Password, except it is iOS native.

Shit, same here. Oh well

Can one of you iPad users grab a screenshot of the modal mail compose view for me?

 

[Shearie]

Why oh why did they bring the Forward, Back, and Pause/Play buttons closer together again in the lock screen? It was perfect when they were spaced out.

 

[LyleLanley]

Searching through mail has been very unstable for me, although when it does work it is so much quicker than previous iOS versions.

What happens in multitasking view when you hold the device landscape, but other apps were in portrait at the time(but have a landscape mode)?

I'm guessing the screens are probably screen caps and not actually being rendered real time is I imagine the apps will just appear sideways?

Oh man I didn't know this - SO needed!

Was this in beta 1 as well?

 

[LCfiner]

Breaking: beta 2 fixes the spacing in the combined button of the back arrow and the word "Notes" in the title bar when you are in the middle of a note.

The choice of light yellow highlight colour in the Notes app is still horrendous and hard to read

 

[mooooose]

Is it faster on the 4?

 

[Treefingers]

Is it faster on the 4?

Yeah, not iOS 6 level yet but quite a bit faster.
