[macintoshmac]

Does it look like any build higher or did they just remove the 50 from 5039?

Looks like they just removed the 50.

 

[gwhizkids]

Thanks @Banglazed!

 

[Banglazed]

16D39 for older devices and 16D40 for 2018 iPhone and iPad Pro 3 (8,1) and up

 

[Blue Hawk]

Deleted beta profile, restarted but still no update OTA

 

[TheNukie]

333.5MB on XSM coming from 12.1.2

 

[Enjoylife1788]

It’s disappointing if it’s the same build.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

It’s disappointing if it’s the same build.

I disagree. That tells me it went the whole *how ever many days it was out* without producing a significant amount of bug reports. Seems smart to me.

Edit: ALTHOUGH, doesn't beta firmware have logging scripts built in that affect performance?

 

[devesh9]

2.31 GB on 6S.

 

[GCHASE1995]

16D39 for older devices and 16D40 for 2018 iPhone

My iPhone XR’s beta 4 build included 16D39. So I don’t think it’s 100% accurate

 

[Banglazed]

It’s disappointing if it’s the same build.

Older devices it may be the same build as 16D6039a but one build ahead for 2018 iPhone is 6D6040a

 

[dan9700]

Beta 4 was D39 on xs max and new one is D40

You can confirm after installing this build. IPSW confirms it.

Beta 4 was D39 on xs max and new one is D40

But my XS Max cannot find the OTA Update

Delete profile and check for OTA.

 

[ediks]

[Blue Hawk]

Delete profile and check for OTA.

Tried it again. Found it now.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

I appear to be bale to update the HomePod software while still on PB4.

 

[Sendmenudes02]

2.31 GB on my iphone 6 coming from beta 4

 

[TL24]

2.3x GB coming from B4 on my XS.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Hmm.... Have you tried iTunes?

 

[digitalexplr]

its not showing for me on itunes or even on itunes (im not on beta)

Probably wait a bit. It is coming OTA now.
