Apple has now unleashed beta 3, meaning those with sensitive taste buds (and developer accounts) can start sniffing and sussing out what’s changed. Of note seem to be a bevy of toggles controlling location services in detail, while there’s also a new switch for voice roaming in settings. From what we’re seeing not a lot has changed visually anywhere outside of the gears icon, but don’t let that stop you from grabbing this savory download.

UPDATE: Changes as we find them are below:

  • A couple of notes from the release notes: FaceTime icon missing in Settings; iMessage works from beta 2 to beta 3, but not beta 1 to beta 2 or 3
  • Location Services can now be enabled or disabled right from initial setup:
  • You can disable/enable which system services to have location services:

 

  • No new wallpapers in this build
  • Software Update now shows what version you have installed:
  • iTunes Wi-Fi Sync new name:
  • Voice Roaming added:
  • Clear Cookies and Data has been added back in Safari settings:
  • New Advanced menu in Safari preferences:
  • Inside the Advanced menu:
  • When entering the Music app on iOS 5 beta 3:
  • From an initial standpoint, the entire beta just seems more snappier. Lots of bugs have been addressed and performance seems to be improved.
  • Reminders has a new icon:
  • Music has a “Store” button that brings you to the iTunes Store:
  • You can now create a new “Mailbox” directly from the Mail app:
  • It seems like Apple will be sticking with the new style of lock screen notifications first introduced in the last build – they have remained unchanged.
