Installing on iPhone 12 Pro!

 

[Lobwedgephil]

If someone can let me know if Dual Sim 5G is enabled in this build would appreciate it.

 

[macintoshmac]

I’m glad we are three comments down without the ‘a’ build mention being one of them.

 

[MarcinRSE]

Can anyone please confirm beta 3 includes fixes from iOS 14.2.1 for Lock Screen issue on iPhone 12 mini ?

 

[Donga120]

If someone can let me know if Dual Sim 5G is enabled in this build would appreciate it.

Unlikely this far into a beta

I’m glad we are three comments down without the ‘a’ build mention being one of them.

A build. Must be good!

iPhone 10 Xs pro installing now.

 

[DimaVR]

Thanks for letting us know.

Also, developer portal is in a session time out loop. Clearing all history, using incognito, nothing helps on Safari. Happens the same with Chrome. No idea about Firefox.

EDIT: Alright, this is not quite funny. I tried with a mobile hotspot (meaning, not my WiFi provider) and this works. Wonder what is happening. Anyone with any inputs?

I can get in dev portal fine.

 

[mjschabow]

Eager to see if message notifications are fixed. Thanks to those who are testing!

 

[d5aqoëp]

Yes Battery life is snappy and Safari is lasting for more than a day. Excellent beta !!

 

[macintoshmac]

I can get in dev portal fine.

Yes, I tried with mobile hotspot to see if it was my Wi-Fi provider, and it was. Dev portal works fine. Must be something with my Wi-Fi provider.

Holding out hope for the message notification fix and the no phone call alerts on Apple Watch after using iPhone with wireless CarPlay.

Two bugs that seriously interrupt my phone usage.

 

[macintoshmac]

This beta is astonishingly fast on the iPhone 8. Or, they tweaked the UI animations for this effect. Whatever the case may be, welcome change. Time will tell if this stays.

 

[DimaVR]

It’s really fast this beta! Like lighting fast on my 10 Max pro websites instantly load very happy so far with performance.
Also can we make this a sticky??? This should be in the sticky thread

 

[ghostface147]

Quite a big modem firmware jump for the 12 models from 14.2.1. I am hoping this improves the data speeds on Verizon, on top of the carrier profile, because my 5G/LTE speeds are garbage here in Houston most of the time. Didn't have these issues on my X when these 12 models were first released. I was switched from a grandfathered unlimited plan that I got years ago with my iPhone 5 to a newer unlimited plan with access to 5G ultra wide and hotspot access. This is a corporate plan.

I agree I don’t remember my iOS being this fast in a long time! Super happy

 

[DimaVR]

Eager to see if message notifications are fixed. Thanks to those who are testing!

So far I’m hearing alerts for email and messages! As I’m using the phone I hear the Alerts going off

 

[DimaVR]

Also my batt life went from 92 percent back to 96 percent with this beta!
