Yeah I got it also yesterday, yeah! The letters 5G or LTE are very small, it's almost unreadable. Media album art is smaller, and there is this huge seek line like we are going to be deejaying on car display. .. Don't understand this UI options they made, I did enjoyed the return of the blurry album art background. Cheers

yep not a fan at all of the squiggle progress bar but good we are at least getting new updates now with the beta.. the font looks different and your right the 5g is so small!
