Beta 6 fixed the battery issue on iPad, now getting best battery life ever. Unplugged in standby for over 18 hours and still at 99%. AW4 seems to be a little better now also, but Smart Battery Case on XS Max is a joke right now. It's only affecting the Smart battery Case but I have friends who are on latest stable iOS 12 and after the update a few weeks ago, their Smart Battery Cases also are getting rocked. So it's likely something they merged into iOS 13 in last 2 updates from the iOS 12 branch.
Well, if it’s the same build as the current Dev Beta, you cannot connect a watch that’s on the WatchOS 6 Beta 2, so your drain won’t be a problem
Edit: ignore that, running WatchOS 5 is fine, it seems.
macOS has been released to public 1-2 weeks after other OS releases the past few years, so they maybe feel they have more time to fix bugs...
Are you able to confirm that running watchOS 5 will connect with a phone running iOS 13 beta 6?
It does. I am using WatchOS 5.3 with iOS 13 Beta 6 with no issue. There was an issue using iOS 13 Beta 5 with WatchOS 5.3, wherein the battery was draining quite rapidly, but otherwise stock WatchOS works just fine with iOS 13 Beta.
Beta 7 on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday? I'm hoping we get back to Monday's for developer releases.
Quite a few, actually, as they should be rolling on a weekly basis now.
my guess is a Monday or Tuesday for beta 7.
Today according to my cat, and she got it right last week
Edit: Does this mean she is now officially a "renowned analyst?"
I doubt today as macOS beta 6 isn’t even out and it’s only been 5 days since beta 6 so my guess tomorrow
Since Apple are already multiple builds ahead, they could still release it today. And as a nice bonus, could also release a public beta an hour later after developer’s beta, as they used to do in late iOS 12 beta cycle.
My money is on a release tomorrow. With the late release last week, they have had only 2.5 work days to digest logs and error feedback.
I will also throw out there the possibility that Apple may have its event a week later than we've all been assuming, giving them more time to fix the many issues in iOS 13. It seems unlikely to me but I think its a non-zero chance, also (and prominent Apple observers, like Marco Arment, are raising this as a possibility). Having their own facility to host the event gives them that flexibility, which they haven't had until last year.

This seems to be beyond the comprehension of most people, who believe that Apple wait for us to feed back before they even start working on the next beta.
Might well be tomorrow or Wednesday, but do you really think Apple iOS developers are frantically changing the iOS 13 code right now for supposed tomorrow’s beta version? Unless there is a major show-stopping bug, the logs and error reports submitted now might get addressed in iOS 13.1 + releases, if we are lucky.
