[Knowlege Bomb]

Looks like I get public release!

 

[bricktop_at]

Looks like I get public release!

Looks the same for me

 

[digitalexplr]

Both iPhone and iPad say "developer beta 5"

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Holy smokes that went quick. Feel free to hit me with any questions!

 

[s2mike]

Yeah the install was insanely fast.

 

[macintoshmac]

Let's see what this one fixes!

 

[s2mike]

Or breaks…

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

... and my axe!

I mean..... or adds!

 

[dannyyankou]

I hope this fixes the music bug. It shouldn’t take 5 million years for an album to load, one that’s even downloaded nonetheless lol

 

[amill9601]

The “security updates“ toggle was reverted back to how it was previously

 

[dannyyankou]

Is it just me, or is the install progress bar a bit thinner? That’s my OCD talking lol

It is far thinner. It got changed in one of the betas

Definitely looks like it to me. I say that as someone who also has OCD about little things. Lol

 

[s2mike]

I haven’t noticed much.

The blank bar bug in the Messages app is still present, obviously.

Can you install IOS beta without watch os beta? ( I know face mask feature won’t work) but don’t want to play with watch betas as we don’t have apple store in country just in case.

Yep.

 

[Domadia_Jasmine]

When we can expect public beta?

 

[jonnyb098]

When we can expect public beta?

As with every public beta for years either later today or tomorrow.

Nope. That behavior still exists after BETA 5.

Can anyone comment on if this beta has any effects on the "raised blacks" and green tint on the 12 series?

 

[xpxp2002]

AT&T carrier profile was v46.0 in beta 4. Looks like they rolled back to 45.5.8. Guessing because of the eSIM data issues in the last beta. Good to know they're hopefully working on that.

Nothing seems to have changed. Haven't seen the raised blacks since Beta 2, so I guess they've found the problem.

To be clear, you had the raised blacks issue before installing the iOS 14.5 betas? If that's the case I'm about to give a huge sigh of relief.

I'm seeing AT&T 46.0.1 on my 12 Pro.
