Apple seeded iOS Beta 2 to developers yesterday so we thought we would take a look at what has changed and what has been added. The biggest news to come from this release is the addition of iPad support but there were some smaller additions to that relate to the iPod touch and the iPhone. None of these additions included with iOS 7 beta 2 match that of a fully functional iPad variant, there are definitely some great little tweaks and adjustments that require a look at.
The general smoothness and stability of iOS 7 has been improved with the Beta 2 release. Even though we were all very happy with how iOS 7 beta 1 came out, we did feel that the general navigation could do with a little tweaking as it was quite slow. This has been rectified and now there is a better quality of user experience. If you were a developer who experienced the general lag and holding of the user interface then you will be happy to see that this has been corrected and this will probably improve even further when iOS 7 beta 3 is released in a couple of weeks.
There is a huge list of tiny additions to iOS 7 beta 2 but most of these consist of very small user interface additions that slightly tweak the user experience. The biggest change has to be the change in Siri's voice which now resembles something more natural sounding and less robotic. This clearly indicates that Apple is moving towards Google Now's methodology for a personal assistant and moving away from the clear distinction between robot and human imitation.
We are really looking forward to seeing what changes come in the future betas of iOS 7 and there should be a lot more changes, and additions before we see the final release later this year. To stay up to date with this be sure to keep an eye on our posts.
