iOS 7 Beta 2 Brings Support for iPad and iPad Mini with New Feature Enhancements

Apple's first Beta release for iOS 7 (Beta 1) lacked support for iPad that left many iOS fans disappointed. With the release of iOS 7 Beta 2, the iPhone maker has addressed the limitations with the initial Beta release by adding support for iPad Mini, iPad 2 and later.

In addition to iPad support, iOS fans can now enjoy a host of new feature enhancements including Voice memos, improved Siri and more. As iDownloadBlog reports, iOS 7 on iPad feels more spacious, lightweight and visually more appealing than its predecessor iOS 6.

Here is the complete list of new features and enhancements ported into the newly released iOS 7 Beta 2, courtesy of 9To5Mac.

Voice Memos app: iOS 7 Beta 2 reintroduces the Voice Memos app with a completely redesigned user-interface (UI), which was missing in the first Beta release.
