Here's hoping beta 5 fixes the broke-ass Music app.

release notes? kind of afraid to update since beta 4 has been working pretty well for me lol

Alright, hopefully this makes lockscreen music controls better, and stops songs from skipping back when I unlock.

Yeah, I'm really not sure why the Music app regressed so badly in beta 4 (though the addition of the "download all" button on playlists is nice), but it sure as hell did.

So each beta update is making it look less and less different.
Interesting.
By the end we might end up just looking like iOS6 again.

Sure it is. Beta1 was all white plus solid colored icons and bold sharp edges (settings icons, in-call options, etc.)
Now we are back to "buttons" and rounded edge icons.
Downgrade totalAll settings icons have been changed. (left is new)
It is still solid colors everywhere with minimlistic UI design. Colorizing icons in settings doesn't mean its going back to ios6; not by a long mile

Ok, they seemed to have fixed all the problems I had with the music player so far.

I wish all the app icons were like the new flat settings icons. So much nicer.
I wouldn't mind those as app icons, but having a full button icon for a list menue makes no sense.
You can touch the whole list item line to view it's settings, why does it it need a button/hit box cue?
EDIT: do those new icons from settings menue populate control center? They would make more sense there.

That Twitter icon looks bad. At first glance it looks totally out of place because everything else is encased in a rounded square. Then you realize it actually has a white background.

It's barely visible, though. Needs to be changed.

there is a toggle in control center settings for 'access within apps'. can finally use apps that scroll up and down without accidentally triggering it!

No idea but I want it back. Along with the five day weather forecast.

I'm guessing not many people used it versus using post prompts within apps and it doesn't really fit within the theme of notification center now which is just calendar and notifications (all or missed). It's kind of out of place in this new Notification Center.

NC could use some sunny/rain icons. just sayin'
SuperPac

I would agree w/that. The Weather in NC for "Today" takes up 4 lines of text. You could use that space for images and temps and it'd be a lot more useful. Repeat the same at the bottom for tomorrow's weather.
Yikes. It's... what the heck were Apple thinking doing that?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I actually thought the screen-wide slider for powering off and answering calls looked really striking, I guess they went and turned em into buttons again.
looks that way. the biggest improvement is in the hit targets for music controls on the lock screen. in beta 4, the spaces between the play/ff/rw buttons were tap targets for unlocking the screen. so youd get the bump animation (the hint to start a drag) if you missed the play button by a few pixels. now the space around those buttons is dead. But the album artwork space is still a huge target for unlocking the phone.

My initial reaction, in two parts:
(a) This is great, didn't expect them to do that.
(b) Why is this not a per-app SDK setting? I'm totally onboard with letting users disable it but the real big impact right now is with the apps themselves.
Because that would be totally inconsistent? At least this way users know why it's disabled, allowing users to disable on a per app basis might be a step in the right direction though, but could over complicate things

something that has really bothered me since day one is the fact that I cannot turn cellular data off/on in the lock screen. I need that infinitely more often than flight mode or bluetooth toggle.
have the headphone controls been re-activated? im updating right now.
Can I get that wallpaper?

what is this screen from?
Crazymoogle

If it collides with a game, you have to quit out and manually know how to disable it. For most users this will not happen.
It is far more preferable for game developers to just shut down access while within the app. And it's certainly no more inconsistent than other things we do have control over, like tilt lock or the status bar. (Forcing iOS control over two sides of the screen is just ridiculous.

sorry, i just borrowed that image from here
you might be able to gimp a low res version from it... :-/
[edit]
this is the best I can do for the minute, does not do the high res display justice I'm afraid

performance seems better on my iphone 4. although i could just be making this up lol
think it would be nice if there was a black and white theme...b5 install background color changes depending on if you have a black phone or white one. but i guess the colorfulness looks better on white?

I think it has been designed for white phones even.
I've wanted this for a while though. Some thought put into both models and really cement their notion that software and hardware go hand in hand. Kind of like what they did with the nanos.
Thing is, the white version probably looks better overall and suits all the colours of the supposed plastic coloured phones.

One of the reasons I'm switching to a white iPad after all these years of owning a black iPad and iPod touch. Last white Apple device I had was the 5th gen iPod.
