thanks to all

:) thanks to all who are providing inputs to this thread. I am very excited to try iOS7 in the Fall.
 
Who's got a really nice panoramic wallpaper that is darkish??

All my panoramas are outside and wayyyy to bright to read any text on the lock screen :(
 
It streams for me then caches the song. The cloud icon stays unless I press it to download. If I turn off iTunes Match it clears all songs that were cached and only the songs the I specifically clicked the iCloud icon to actually download remains on my device. Same as on ios 7

Here's an article that clears it up a bit. www.idownloadblog.com/2012/06/13/ios-6-itunes-match-stream-and-download/

Thanks...I think for most people though, the confusion lies in the fact that the song is actually downloaded until you take the extra step to turn off Match. I can't imagine many people know that or would ever do it on their own.
 
Dont know if this has been posted yet:

On Apple's iOS 7 demo page, scroll down to the mini vids..

http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/

Now look at the messages app how nicely the message-bubble comes all the way up beyond the keyboard and "takes" the written text with it!!! Awesome!

Beta 2 perhaps?

At the 9 second mark is what he is trying to explain (i think). It is a feature in Springtomize for jailbroken devices, and is dubbed the "Old TV Animation". The fade to black in iOS 7 is obviously quite different.

Close...but it's missing the "dot" that shows up in the middle and slowly fades out. Skeuomorphic up the wazoo...but one of those ones that I like!

But is does need that "blip" in the middle, not just the horizontal closing of the screen.
 
A couple things I've noticed:

- when you scroll around in safari and get the psuedo-full-screen mode, you can no longer tap the status bar to get to the top. You have to tap twice now

If you tap the status bar (the bar with the clock and network on etc) it will take you to the top of the page.

Edit: I'm lying. That doesn't work.
 
I noticed you can now add custom labels to contact phone numbers.
Also, is the custom text ringtone new?
 
Are subscribed calenders not showing up in calender? I had been looking for the holidays coming up and I just noticed I don't see the subscribed calenders in the app. They are listed under settings though..
 
Huh?

How do you think developers go about testing the code that THEY write? :eek:

If a device's UDID is on a developers account, then that device has the ability to directly load applications written by that developer (i.e. load an application that didn't come through the App Store).

I'd imagine that even small developers will find a significant base of iOS products -- owned by different people -- to test their applications on, before releasing them to the App Store.

And good grief, if you only find 5 people each for iPhone 3Gs, 4, 4s, 5, iPad 2, iPad 3/4, iPad mini, and the various iPod touch models that all run recent iOS versions, to test your apps, ... that's not a small amount of UDIDs, IMO.

Something got lost in translation here, because I wasn't talking about devs that make their own apps. You think everyone with a dev account (i.e. the people that paid $99) are actually developing apps? No...I would argue less than 50% of the people that paid the $99 are actual developers. Anyone can get a dev account by paying money...that doesn't mean they're actually a developer.

OK...let's use your numbers. You mentioned 8 products...and let's say you're a dev and you know 5 people that use each of those devices, so you register their UDID under your account for "testing" purposes.

8 x 5 = 40. So even if you know all those people with all those devices and you register their UDID's under your dev account, you've still only used 40 spots out of a possible 100. I'll even give you this...the dev that has 100 slots also has ALL of those devices too. That STILL only comes out to 48 slots. Not even half of the possible slots per developer account.

Again...Apple knows people that aren't the develop are going to get their UDID's registered. They just don't care. The more the merrier.
 
It's FaceTime Audio (no video). It shouldn't use that much data.

The reason why this would be so helpful and seamless is for old relatives overseas. I don't want to teach aunts, uncles, and parents how to "properly" call me to no longer incur long distance charges. Also FaceTime Audio uses HD Voice so quality is crystal clear.

Apple really should make FaceTime Audio as default and as seamless like iMessage over SMS.

That would be one fantastic jailbreak tweak! Right up there with TetherMe and 3GUnrestrictor.
 
Wow, hold your horse there pal. I just tested again on mine and it does turn off like an old school TV.

Camera: When you swipe to the right it change to "Video" instead of your camera roll. Your iOS 7 doesn't do that???

Can someone else confirm these? Thanks.

It fades. When someone says Old School TV, I'm going to think of this:

Oh stop being pedantic, you knew what he was on about. :rolleyes:


And swiping left/right in Camera.app now just scrubs between Video/Photo/Square/Pano modes. You can't swipe into your photo albums.

It's not being pedantic, it's two completely different effects.

When I had iOS 7 installed I was able to swipe over. Maybe it was a fluke or I didn't understand, but I remember when I started to swipe left from camera the whole app did move. Since I don't have iOS 7 installed to test it anymore, I'll take your word for it.
 
A neat tidbit I just notice today. If you try to type the word hell in a message, it will type he'll at first until you type the next word and it realizes it's wrong that it automatically changes to hell. That's awesome!

That's really impressive. I typed hell, which got auto-corrected to he'll. I then typed "is", and it picked up on that "He will is" is a grammar error, so it changed it back to hell. When I type "hell (-> he'll) live", it stays "he'll".

it also uses hell and doesn't switch it to he'll when typing out certain sentences. This is probably the best "Little Thing" yet on here!
