I’m pretty sure there was a bug similar to that back in (I think iOS 12) so hopefully it’s not happening again.
 
I was just able to find the beta OTA catalog URL my iPhone 11 Pro is using and the iPhone 12 Pro does have the iOS 14.2 Beta 4 OTA listed in it.

EDIT: Looks like you can just add /com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate/com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml to the end of the URL in your beta profile (open the .mobileconfig in TextEdit or Notepad)
 
I’ll be curious to see if 14.2 is the promised update that fixes dual SIM operation over 5G. This is most likely the last major update of the year, but they could do a separate small point release to fix it. Won’t know until tomorrow...

Forgive me if I stay off-topic, but I have the Fantastical widget too on my iPad (iPadOS 14.0.1 though) and I don’t have the orange and yellow-colored days. How do you get it? I don’t have a premium Fantastical account.

Thanks a lot
 
New update modal

I just saw this for the first time but when I check Updates, there are none. Ideas?

That issue has been posted a couple times over the last couple days, in this thread. It’s a bug, no new one.

It probably is related to the release of 14.2 beta 4 for the new iPhones (reminding people its there) and someone miscoded it for other devices. I’ve gotten it on both my 11Pro and my iPad Pro 11”, the first last night and the other just a few minutes ago.

Showed up for me last night. Assumed it may be related to the beta release for the iPhone 12.

Long press the widget, tap Edit “Fantastical”, then turn on Show Heatmap.
I don’t subscribe to Premium but I was grandfathered in because I bought the app years ago...not sure if that makes a difference though.

Just so I am clear this needs to be done so you can download 14.2 Beta on an iPhone 12/Pro?
My current 11 Pro is on 14.2 so I’m gonna need my new phone on the same so my backup will work of course.

what happens if I try to put the 14.2 profile on my new phone and it’s not supported? Does it just stop me immediately?

What I ended up doing was downloading the profile on my Mac, activating my new iPhone 12 Pro, then installing the profile using Apple Configurator. When restoring from an iCloud Backup during Setup Assistant it started updating to iOS 14.2 Public Beta 4.

Anyone else noticing visual voicemail not showing the last couple betas? I am on AT&T, but have not received any voicemail on beta 3 or 4, but can call in a listen to messages.
Click to expand...

Yes, same for me - on ATT and no indication of a VM

I get a missed call indicator, but no way to know if a voicemail was left

No worries. Can’t be bothered with it at the now...too much like hard work. Thanks for the suggies anyway

Edit: final word, I’ve just started to play “my” station and it’s now populating the aforementioned, but not suggestions, only stuff I’ve already played. Oh well.
Click to expand...

Maybe you got listening history turned off?
 
Also got the “new beta” glitch on my iPhone 12 Pro this morning after installing the profile.

I figured as much and I don’t mind. I just want to Make sure that the iPhone 12 is now supported with the 14.2 beta. Is it?

Running 14.2 Beta 4 on my iPhone 12 Pro as we speak 😁
