Beta 2 expected...

[jonblatho]

Not true

Just like iOS apps' UI can't be changed drastically remotely, right? Just ask Facebook.

Not always exactly.

I've seen them earlier, but never later.

BGR is just cracking guesses based on some partially imaginary pattern that they see.... I even tried to cover their asses in advance by saying that it might be pushed back.... Does anyone actually take that kind of reporting seriously?

 

[batting1000]

Not always exactly.

Well, we're already 10 minutes past and nothing. Plus there are automated accounts on Twitter that make a post when betas / updates are released. They usually post atound 12:55-ish. Nothing yet.

Something's telling me it's gonna be out next Monday, rather than tomorrow.

No, actually. Generally, everyone laughs at BGR.

During ios7 or 8 they did one update in the evening

I'm still expecting today. The 8.4 GM has to come out today if they plan on releasing it to the public on the 30th.

Apple will release beta 2 when they are damn good and ready

That was iOS 8.0.2. They had to because they messed up everyone's phones with 8.0.1

Not necessarily. I remember a few point releases not even having GM releases, most notably iOS 7.1. They went from the last beta straight to public. Given iOS 8.4 beta 4 is fairly stable from what I've read, that could very well be the case.

Considering last year, WWDC was June 2 and iOS 8 Beta 2 came out on June 17, I'd expect iOS 9 Beta 2 to drop tomorrow. May possibly see 8.4 GM as well, putting both one week prior to Apple Music release.

You'd think BGR would've looked back at their own report last year and seen this. The good news is they'll be wrong on both guesses.

Doesn't have to. GM could be released next Monday with the public release following the next day.

What's the point of the GM then?

Nah I think beta 4 is the GM, with Apple Music visibility:hidden;

apple should release IOS 9 beta 2 asap, battery life is horrible on beta 1

I didn't expect it after 1 either, I'm just saying it's not always exactly 1. Since last year iOS 8 beta 2 was released on Tuesday that's probably more likely.

Last minute bug check.

 

[Paddle1]

They haven't released a GM since 8.0, why would they start now?

 

[iPhone20]

Beta 2 is coming on next Monday. Just a day before Music launches. This pattern sounds right.

 

[devinthomas]

This hurts me

Do you mind telling what that Twitter is? Thanks.

What makes you think Apple cares about your battery life in an early beta? If you want normal battery life DFU to 8.3

Because they specifically quoted an extra hour of battery life.

Yeah for the final product.... Not for the beta versions.
