Oddly, on the IPP11 I had no separate Agree/Disagree screens while on the 13PM I had two sets before and one after install (OTA).

Sadly, I am not seeing a modem update on my 13PM. :(
 
SMS messages still not clearing (marked as read) on my Apple Watch when read on my phone. Anyone else experiencing this?


Edit: Never mind, I was finally able to resolve this by taking my phone number out of Send and Receive in the Messages setting and then add it back in a few minutes later.

Wondering if there was any modem change. Forgot to check previous beta which did change before updating
 
I'm not sure why people keep expecting modem firmware changes to have magical effects on their connectivity. Unless there are major connection-breaking bugs being fixed (which you would probably be hearing about elsewhere), these firmware updates are most likely minor low-level tweaks for stability — they can't change the sensitivity of the built-in antennas, the physics behind RF propagation, or the structure of the building you're sitting in (well, besides burning it down if you get mad at your weak cellular signal and throw it hard enough to damage the battery).

A few of us are experiencing random data drops mostly on the iPhone 13 line. Every modem update seems to help this issue. The last beta had a modem update and helped the problem a lot. My data drops have improved from about 10 per day to since the last beta 0 to 3 per day. I’ll take every modem update I can get.
And yes, I’ve gone round with Apple over this and they just refuse to acknowledge it. Currently on 3rd iPhone 13, same issue, tired of the return process. And no it is not my WiFi system. Even turning off WiFi my Verizon data drops the same. It’s a software problem so yeah, more modem updates please.

So you dont think at all a change in modem firmware on a beta, then people see connectivity issues, has anything to do with it?

Safari tabs in panoramic view on iPad have a slightly tweaked, more defined look now (at least with all of the visual accessibility features I have enabled—namely Increase Contrast). Looks nice, and overall the new beta seems to be going quite swimmingly across devices. Download/installation on the HomePods seemed a tad choppy at first but we got there eventually.

I’ll post more in this thread in time and as I notice things—sometimes the most fun to be had in these “subtler” updates is discovering the little touches and Easter eggs 🥚 along the way.
