I am SHOOK. talk about unexpected. scared to be one of the first to update.

Yeah, I'm on the fence as to whether or not to update. However, 14.0 has been horrible on my battery life so there's that.

 

[Banglazed]

This may require a new beta profile

Glad I’m not the only one. 14 has been killing my battery!!!

 

[zorinlynx]

Ya'll have fun. I'm taking a Betacation.

 

[GCHASE1995]

This will require a new beta profile

weird. I installed a new profile and it still won’t pop up.

 

[gtmead09]

Assuming about 6 -7 betas, that puts us on a potential schedule of early to mid November for 14.2. So I would assume 14.1 will be for the new phones and we’ll probably see something like 14.0.1 sometime in the next few weeks if not much sooner. But yes, this is all confusing lol.

 

[Blaster13]

weird. I installed a new profile and it still won’t pop up.

Mines not working either. Iv deleted my old and downloaded again. Still nothing...

 

[tosbsas]

No new Profile available at usual sources

 

[cflasche]

Still not showing up OTA for me. iPhone 11 Pro Max.

 

[tosbsas]

This will require a new beta profile

New install or complete new Profile?

 

[Banglazed]

OTA is not live yet but Dev portal has the IPSW

Maybe Apple's way of fighting against these leaked profiles getting out... Wouldn't be surprised if it didn't OTA until after beta 1.

 

[TitsLegendary]

Do you need a new version of Xcode to install with ipsw? Downloading the ipsw now.

 

[VSMacOne]

It probably just hasn’t hit the OTA servers. Should be popping up soon.

 

[GCHASE1995]

probably just the new iTunes.

 

[VSMacOne]

seeing there’s a new built-in music recognition toggle in Control Center that’s powered by Shazam. I wonder if it works without the app??

 

[Marswarrior462]

Is Capture Outside The Frame back?

 

[DimaVR]

so wait no ota?

Let us know.

 

[DimaVR]
