Very unusual for none of the usual news sources to have any idea what's in it, though. They are usually provided advance copy and have an embargo on until release.

So far, I noticed some icons are refined and a new AirPay icon in CC
@Banglazed is correct. Betas do have logging tools enabled (you can verify by the terms and conditions before you install, it's explicitly mentioned). I have not seen a performance decrease or battery life decrease when on betas compared to public firmware. Public builds just simply do not have the logging tools enabled because Apple has the confidence that their code works properly, so they don't need logs from every iOS device out there. Hope this helps!

Mind sharing a screenshot?
I don't think we'll get anything new or exciting here, probably just bug fixes.
The lack of PR seems to indicate that that might be the case. But it is a point release, which means it packs more "something" than the minor releases do. Bigger bug fixes?
I'm still going with Maps improvements. Anyone checked that yet?
Support for AirPower...I hope I'm wrong, would love to see something bigger.
I can't see anything different.. But then I never can until someone points it out
My brain just crashed reading this. Care to explain? I never understood how people can tell.
I can understand that as you are using unreleased XS in 128GB.
That actually makes sense, too. Might explain why they're mum on this so far.Support for AirPower...
Same!!! Likely not on my iPhone X which is my primary device but likely on my iPhone SE that’s a secondary phone.
Yeah absolutely! The final version of 12.0 carried a 16A366 build number. iOS 12.1 carried a build number of 16B92. So, iOS 12.0 was 366 builds old when released and 12.1 was 92 builds old. When you change the letter in the overall build number, it's considered a "service pack" update (to best explain it) to iOS 12.
12.0 had build numbers starting with 16A, 12.1 has 16B. They decided to have a beta period for 12.1.1 so that carried builds 16C. 12.1.2 was a hot fix, and it still had a 16C build number (meaning it is still part of the 12.1.1 family). 12.1.3 started with 16D build numbers.
