    Odd, The release notes indicate that the voice memo app isn't included, but it's there.

    The release notes only note known issues. No issues on what B2 fixes.

    Well they did label them as B2 notes, but you may be right ;)

    I am glad they have updated Siri with a more human sounding voice and more control over the OS. I am also glad they included a male voice and updated the voice memo app.

    Your original post before you changed it actually said "NO INSULTS!" in all caps. 


     


    You are the last person that should ever tell anyone to refrain from insults. Or do you subscribe to the "Do as I say not as I do" school of thought? You call people on this forum stupid nearly every day.

    Obviously, you don't understand the word BETA.  Beta always has bugs, which is why they should only be used by Developers and not consumers.   Developers help wring out the bugs, especially when it applies to their specific app.  It's part of the process of the Beta development process.




    Even when it gets released,there still might be a few bugs since it's impossible to test every single scenario ahead of time.  if they tested it under every possible scenario, it would drag out the development process at least another year or two, which means no one would get updates in a timely fashion and we'd all be using an OS that's 20 years old.  Part of what helps them fix it, is when it gets released to a large population with a variety of apps and people testing it, providing feedback.


     


    Some bugs are not that big, some are.  The major ones usually get fixed before final release.  To expect a bug free OS in Beta or first public release would be ignorant of the development and testing process.

    Yup. Not everyone knows or keeps track of every abbreviation for messaging....  Personally, I thought it was being used in a immature way.  That's how I took it.


     


    Do you know what BACF means?

    They think one-post trolls deserve the right to say anything they want here and be taken seriously.

    Wouldn't mind if they offered various voices you could buy on iTunes for Siri. Would be pretty cool for my phone to maybe have a female voice with a southern accent or maybe someone would like a Boston or New York accent - as long as we avoided goofy, cartoonish crap. I mean it would be totally un-cool to have Foghorn Leghorn for Siri...

    A kid I know has installed iOS7 on his iPhone 3GS. He is not a developer, but is very hip to piracy. Is it that common that this Beta is out there?

    Clearly the shouldn't.

    But I'm still confused. But I'm also functioning on little sleep and fighting off what I'm pretty sure is some form of plague. So don't mind me.

    It can't run on the 3GS, so it's probably a theme.

    Sad isn't it.

    Of course it's buggy it's a damn beta. How many reviews/articles were there when the first beta was a lot? Too many.
