To be fair it's hard to be an optimist lately with the whole world falling apart. At least Apple is releasing bugfixes on time though.

Its here!!!

I’m pretty sure that if this year has taught us anything, it’s to not expect “the norm”.

It's out! 5.02GB on 11PM

 

[gank41]

4.34GB on my iPhone 12 Pro.. Also really hoping for a WatchOS update, too.. But I'm not very confident on that one.

 

[Channelsurfer63]

Big one is here; 5.09 on XSMax.... also looking for a watch update after this finishes preparing...

Now where is 14.3 beta 1 with Apple Music Crossfade?

There isn’t going to 14.2 GM. We need another 2/3 betas. Idk why you guys think 14.2 Gm will be out next week. GM 14.2 won’t be out till the event is out

Beta 4 is not ready, there is beta 5 for sure and maybe GM, but there is atleast two more betas on the way.
Watch and see

I know, never mind man. I don’t have all day to type and re explain my self over and over and over again. Good luck with your GM dream next week

Well, the iOS 14.2 GM is out:

Are you sure your room mate didn't say he works with apples? And oranges and bananas?

Where's Banglazed with the 14.2 thread? I need somewhere to complain about it not showing up on my shiny new 12 Pro!

 

[Kylo83]

Oops!

This just goes to show how much this process has changed.

• "Apple never releases GMs to point releases". They did so today
• "Apple never releases beta software on a Friday". Same.

This is why this is the speculation thread. We literally have no idea what Apple is going to do at any given time on these releases. I always remember a dispute resolution class I took where the instructor warned against using the terms "always" or "never" regarding an assertion. The reason was that there is almost always (notice the qualifier!) an exception to an assertion of an absolute.

The same goes here in speculation: Apple is always happy to prove us wrong when we say they always do something or they never do something.

Today is a case in point.

Ahh, the old 'my mate works for Apple' line. 😂 I wonder what your track record is on this thread then.... 🤔

Like fish in a barrel!

Ahhh... I forgot that I had to wipe my phone after updating in order to restore from my backup.

Thanks!

Interesting: Apple is calling it a "Release Candidate." No more "GM seed" terminology.

They do that when they're not certain this will be the release version. Also possible that this is their preferred terminology for what is essentially a GM but on a point release.

Ohhh well I was wrong big deal, **** never happens on a Friday. All ready installed RC 14.2

I've seen "GM candidate" before for point releases, so this must be new nomenclature. "Golden master" calls back to a time where software was pressed onto distribution media, so I wonder if this is an update to terminology going forward.

I’ve never understood the “never on Friday”. For the first 6 years of iOS, betas came out Friday between 1-5pm PT. Most drops were 5pm PT on a Friday.

**** never happens on a Friday.

Umm.....
