I think the black mode you've been hearing about, is simply using a black background - as much of the GUI takes on the characteristics of the Background image installed...
On my 4s its really bad, im using 64gb model with a lot of free storage so thats not the problem; things like going back to homescreen, open and closing folders lag a lot, safari is super slow and i feel battery is more ******.
Def not going to keep my 4s for much longer, its either iphone 5 or go back to ios 6 and wait for the new iphone.
Voice change will probably be available at a later beta or left out of the beta and placed in the final release.
Yeah, using an iPhone 5. A little sluggish. Most likely will be a lot better once the GM is released.
My iPhone 5 has no lag, yet some phones do. My guess, the lag will be fixed in Beta 2. Battery life of my iPhone 5 is fair. Installed IOS 7 last night around 11. 100%. My Phone is now 62%. 6 hours of usage, 10 hours of standby.
You may be right. Thanks! I thought it may have been something wrong done on my end. I am considering doing a restore since I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.
Also, how about the kids section in the appstore? I can't find it anywhere.
battery
Battery is AWFUL. Draining, and charging back up have issues. iPhone 5 went from 100% to 75% in 2 hours. Then once it got down real low I plugged it in for an hour. Only went from 0%-35%. Phone also gets freaking hot. Literally burned my finger tips on the edges.

Fair? On pace for 12+ hours usage... That's a whole lot better than fair. How much of that is listening to music, if any?
No battery issues here on my iPhone 5; I set it up as a new device.
Also battery life will be less because you'll be using it more to play with features...

Was going to test this for you from the UK but it's a shame that, in this beta, you have to disable Siri before the menu option appears as it tells you that you will lose all interactions & fine tunings to date if you did.
Unfortunately.
Honestly feel the same thing with the overall battery usage complaints.
Tests by True developers (who have multiple phones) will be more realistic than most posts we see on here.
Having been through a few of these cycles, Battery life complaints (especially on Beta, or fresh public release) should be noted, but not taken too seriously.
Care to take a picture of your burnt finger with your iPhone? Consider it a camera test if you want
been addressed before, some sort of battery saving mode when it drops below certain threshold it seems.

on the same boat here, but I did mine as restore and my wife's as a new device, seems like hers is running much better, might do the same on my own tonight.

if you go under the general/accessibility you will find an "invert colors" option, that gives you some back fonts...and lots of awful pinks too
Testing on multiple phones confirms that YMMV with battery life.
One iPhone 4 seems to have gotten noticeably better.
One iPhone 4 seems to be about the same.
2 iPhone 5s seem drastically reduced.
2 iPhone 5s are about the same.
On the other phones with different users it appears that use pattern has a bigger influence on iOS 7 than iOS 6.
"Power users" i.e. those on my team that have juice packs because we already use a full charge about 1.2x per work day are seeing about 2 hours of battery life. Users who are using them around 1x per hour and can end a work day at around 20% battery life on iOS 6 are getting about the same.
