Released iOS 7 beta 2: more stability, the new Siri voice and iPad support

On Monday evening (Moscow time) Apple released the second beta version of iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Thus, iOS 7 beta 1 "lived" only 2 weeks from the time of release. Developers can download the iOS 7 beta 2 through the Update item in the iPhone and iPod touch settings.

The main innovation was the appearance of beta 2 in iOS 7 iPad and iPad mini support. To install the update you need on the iPad with iOS 6 using iTunes on the desktop.

Of course, Apple has numerous improvements and bug fixes in the new version of the upcoming operating system, and numerous reviews, the second beta really is much faster and more stable. In addition to the above, in the operating system has returned the app for voice memos, whose disappearance in the first beta of many engendered hope for the renaissance of third-party applications that perform this function. Well, these hopes are now not come true. Renewed application is made in accordance with the new iOS 7 aesthetics and has got AirDrop support.

Interesting change in Siri. The beta 2 Apple added new Siri voice that at first users reviews sound more natural and added a male voice for English-speaking users. The first hint of what Siri «speak like a man" appeared on Apple's presentation, but in iOS 7 beta 1, this function was not.

Apple also warns users that iOS 7 beta 2 "should only be installed on devices that are used for software development" and is not intended for use by the general public. Understandably, few people listen to the warnings of the company, which, in our opinion, is one of the reasons mass wailing about the upcoming iOS paradigm shift.

iOS 7 beta 2 is also available for registered users on Apple's developer portal. In addition to iOS beta 2 Apple released Xcode Developer Preview 2 5 and the second beta of firmware 5.4 for Apple TV.
