Anyway if it is a totally new build who tested it?
I certainly hope you don't think the majority of testing is done by us beta testers. If anything, we are likely just the final fail-safe to make sure that software being used in real world situations doesn't mis-perform. I'm sure a great majority of the testing is done by simulator, by saturation testing with real phones/ipads and by Apple employees dogfooding it.

I know it’s not iOS exactly, but any guesses if we’ll see the ECG feature release tomorrow also? I remember the presentation showed devices running iOS 12.1 and watchOS 5.1

I would think so. I’d be shocked otherwise because we most likely won’t see 12.2 until the new year. Or very late December. Didn’t they say it would be available in the fall?

They said ECG would be available by the end of 2018, not sure if they said "Fall", it would be pretty damn awesome if we get ECG on the Series 4 tommorrow along with iOS 12.1, did any of the WatchOS 5.1 betas show the ECG Feature?

Yeah, but technically that could be December 19th. It is gonna be a stand-alone app, so it won’t necessarily be out the same time as 12.1 - which is why I’m curious when they’ll release it. I’m hoping for tomorrow!

No, they have not, but that’s to be expected because it’ll be a stand-alone app, not part of watchOS 5.1

Shocked, eh? Not until they release it, you won’t!

No way will it be out before the keynote. Within an hour of it finishing most likely.

I for one is happy group FaceTime hasn’t been pulled and delayed till 12.2

Big day indeed. What are the highlights of 12.1 other than major optimizations and bug fixes?
Would be amazing if we get ECG on Series 4 as well
Group FaceTime and 70+ new emoji and variants. No more need for words...just send emoji sentences!
