That's odd. The placeholder text doesn't show for me (correctly reads "Music"). iPhone 5/7.0.2

I checked with 4 separate phones with 4 separate people. Same thing. Maybe it's a localization issue?

Could be. What locale are you using? It's fine on "British English"

Fine here. AT&T iPhone 5, 7.0.2 (11A501) on "English".

But definitely looks like someone didn't fill out all the translation strings somewhere.

I have a iPhone4, iPad2, and iPhone5, on 7.0.2 and a 4S still on 6.1.3. I'm not getting the placeholder text at all. Did you update from a beta?

My personal phone is updated from the GM release, but all the other phones I checked were downloaded straight from the release.

I don't have the problem (upgraded from DP to DP until I installed the GM.)

Have never seen it on another device.

LC set to US English

I'm much more concerned by the regular and reproducible MobileSafari crashes than minor localization oversights.

A bug is magnified a lot when it's multiplied by 200M users.
