Since the iOS 7 beta 3 download is only a test version, developers should still expect a number of bugs and issues that come with the update. According to BGR, there are lots of people saying "a very buggy OS by Apple," but that reaction is only natural as the firmware is only in its early testing phase.

However, fans are delighted to find some fun and new features offered in the latest iOS such as the iTunes Radio, which offers radio stations that can be built around the user's favorite stations or artists, similar to the services provided by Pandora, Google Music and Spotify.

Furthermore, change log for the iOS 7 beta 3 download was also provided and BGR posted its complete list. Some of the interesting notes included in the change log are provided below:

  • iOS 7 beta 3 download includes development versions of new female and male voices for Siri for US English and French. A male voice for German is also available.
  • iCloud calendars or reminders may be duplicated after adding new events. Workaround: Hide the duplicated calendar from view and things will continue to sync normally.
  • Passcode Lock and Auto-lock time settings are not always respected. Sometimes the device does not require a passcode when the settings indicate it should.
  • Reminders app does not work with VoiceOver feature.
  • Some apps may receive duplicate push notifications or no notification.
  • Passwords with diacritical marks are not supported in this seed. If you have diacritical marks in your password, change it before upgrading to Seed 3 as you will be unable to unlock your device
  • MPMediaPickerControllerhas been disabled for this seed. It will immediately return as if the user canceled the selection.

iOS 7 beta 3 download can be accessed by members of Apple Developer Program which requires a $99 annual membership fee.
