​

Nearly a month has passed since Apple revealed iOS 7 at WWDC 2013 in San Francisco. During this time, Apple released 3 renditions of the iOS 7 Beta firmware to developers. Today, the people at Apple have seeded iOS 7 Beta 3 to developers.

With each new version of the iOS 7 Beta firmware come bug fixes, improvements and sometimes even new, or changed, features. Folks already running any version of the iOS 7 Beta firmware can simply update to the latest beta by going to Software Update in the Settings app. The iOS 7 betas are available to anyone who wishes to pay the $99/year premium for an iOS Developer's Account. Plenty cheap services are offered on the web to just have a UDID registered for a device, allowing the firmware to be activated after installed.

So far here is a list of changes in the new iOS 7 Beta 3 firmware (via iDownloadBlog):

• Faster and more reliable than previous releases (of course)
• Minor UI changes in Notification Center (new font)
• Minor UI changes in Music app (new font)

• New search bar and pull-to-refresh animation in Mail app
• Folders now appear more transparent
• New icon animations when downloading an app
• New font in Settings app
• New font and font color in Messages app
• New animation when accessing Spotlight search
• Minor UI tweaks in Safari search (new keyboard for unibar search)
• You can now use apps while they’re updating
• Lock screen now shows clock while playing a song
• New animation when compressing video to be shared
• .com key in Safari’s unibar keyboard is finally gone
• New Top Charts icon in the App Store
• Boot up no longer shows spinning wheel
