The blur is still there on dark mode. Look closer (if you’re viewing on OLED)

You’re right.

Not directly related to this beta, but I've gone through my Feedback requests (I often do this to either add "it's fixed!" or 'it's still ducked!") and Apple seem to have been busy collating them. Requests that recently showed "none" now have "more than 10" for "similar requests". And some have had comments put on them too. Good stuff.

My (very preliminary) theory: With the trade war between the US and China, Apple possibly has already built and shipped its launch batch of iPhones (normally, that would still be 2 weeks from now). Those had to have iOS 13 on them when they shipped, so they installed a build we've already seen. They will hit the shelves on Sept 20 and iOS 13.1 will be ready for them to update then or shortly after.

This may also explain some things, such as why items like automations were removed. If it wasn't ready for prime time during the beta prior to when they were removed, they were taken out. That way, if Apple did pull the trigger on early shipment, they wouldn't be caught with half-baked software.

Given the volatile nature of the "situation", there could be a benefit to doing this should things change, but the iPhones aren't (currently) supposed to be subject until December, right?

The Apple Watch, the upcoming MacBook Pro, etc. would make more sense than the iPhone, but we're not seeing watchOS 6.1, and the next version of Catalina yet?

Things were pretty dicey last week and it looked briefly like the trade war could really get out of control. If nothing else (lol), Apple has a good risk management and treasury team.

13.1 beta 1 and 13.0 beta 8 are both listed separately for download now. Don't upgrade to 13.1 beta if you want to upgrade to GM on release day.

Given the number of removed features and bugs still present in the late betas of 13.0, I don’t really see this as a bad thing. Sounds like 13.0 is pretty much locked at this point. I am more than happy to skip the GM and head straight on to 13.1.

App Store updates still not showing badges.

New (at least to me): on putting AirPods in my ears, I got a volume slider HUD on the left side of my iPhone screen with an AirPods glyph next to it.

 

[Agent2015]

so when you use the share sheet, you don't see blurred out contacts on the share sheet?

Nope, contacts are not blurred out.

 

[ediks]

is photos app still buggy?

 

[cruppga]

Nope, contacts are not blurred out.

Weird, mine are blurred out. have not tried a restart yet though

 

[ovo6]

So beta 8 was the gm lol

I don’t think that’s a bug. If its automatic updates - then badges don’t make sense in their thinking.

 

[gwhizkids]

The Shortcut I made to create a "Daily Note" for the Notes app, to run when I stopped my wake up alarm finally works as intended!

 

[akac]

Still not possible to run time based automations in shortcuts automatically

What’s weird to me is my feedback on this shows no other related feedback from anyone else?

 

[cruppga]

Did the volume slider move to the top middle of the screen, in a horizontal manner?

 

[macintoshmac]

Carrier Settings updated to 38.0 on Airtel. Previously 37.0.

Modem firmware is same at 5.00.00 on iPhone 8 Qualcomm.

For the Share Sheet issue with Recent Contacts not showing up, maybe they just "refreshed" it and now when you send again, that one shows? Please try.

So do you think there will be a different DB profile for 13.1? Because how will be branch back to 13.0 dbs with this same profile?

 

[19SK91]

Is it me or does the App Store looks different? Like the cards are not fully covering the screen?

Announce with Siri is not back.
Hangouts crashes. Reboot did not fix.

Looks the same on the latest 13.0 beta.

App Store updates still not showing badges.

Badges are not shown if you have automatic app updates enabled.

Nah, it's just we get to test 13.1, all 13.0 related bugs will still be addressed, there just wont be a separate beta. In terms of version control iOS 13.1 is based on 13.0 so we'd get those fixes upstream in subsequent 13.1 betas.
I admit this is less convenient for those hoping to jump on the 13.0 GM or the official 13.0 release :/

My assumption is this is to derisk slipping timelines for iOS 13 by pushing out those features into a subsequent release.

Only via iTunes restore I guess. There have never been different profiles within a release.

iOS 13.1 always has new stuff this doesn’t seem right
