Early on in the beta cycle, 1 week intervals are rare. I'd wager closer to between July 22nd - July 29th.
I think my point was that Apple is already ahead of things and will not be incorporating developer/public feedback necessarily into the next beta release.
I get iOS14 before public beta, then join the public beta when it is live (which it is now).
I bet you're incorrect.
No watchOS public beta today.
I think it will come with Public Beta 2, which is I would say will come just after Dev Beta 3 on 21st July.
No watchOS public beta today.
Stay away from beta 2. I have multiple reboots each day, one time
the watch froze completely. It‘s not stable enough for a public beta imho.
They absolutely will be. Otherwise they wouldn't be investing resources into releasing these builds. They're not doing it for the lulz.
Must be why they haven’t released it yet, and that’s why I’m waiting for the public beta instead of using a dev beta.
Yes and these are my most hated bugs in general. Same stuff happens at work. I'd rather just have bad bugs so they get fixed, instead of productivity bugs that keep getting shuffled down due to budget or whatever other excuse the devs want to give
Ummm ....this is an ios14 thread, not a watch OS thread. Can we keep them separate please??
You are not reading what I am writing. Of course they’re not doing for it laughs. First and foremost, they’re doing it so developers have something to build against. Secondarily, I’m sure they get lots of good info, both from submitted feedback, as well as automated feedback and logging.
But I’m pretty sure that something someone reports one week in the beta is not going to make it into the VERY NEXT publicly released beta, which probably is already in the can at the time the first one is publicly released. The one after that: possibly.
We will see
Yup, and you'll see I'm right, based on the past many years of there being 2 weeks between Beta 2 & 3 ?
It's been fine on mine, more stable than WatchOSS 6 was for me.
Apple are always many builds ahead of the Dev Beta, so they might know about the bugs that get reported and have already fixed them, and any ones we raise, that they are not aware of, will not get resolved until the beta after the next one due, unless they're showstoppers.

Hot Take: Beta 3 will release in July
(Watch Apple release it August 1st)
