Oh sweet Wednesday.

 

[macintoshmac]

I am hoping they tag along the macOS beta as well.

15.0 (19A5337a)

Yay! It’s getting closer to a completion. Woo hoo!

I wonder if this is the last beta build before RC is released. If it is we should definitely expect to place an order for iPhone on Sept 13.

13 builds ahead of Beta 6 with 8 working days in between (they usually do around a build increase per day), so that's quite awkward. Hopefully it means more bugfixes/changes.

 

[nortonandreev]

Safari looks the same on the iPad.

Update: As expected, no changes to Safari in Beta 7 on the iOS either.

iCloud Private Relay will be released as a public beta to gather additional feedback and improve website compatibility. (82150385)

Wonder if this means it might not make release?

If I had to guess, it will likely be in the release but with a disclaimer that it's a beta feature and may experience problems, etc.

You mean the same dock-sized cluster of icons and URL bar in iOS as well? Oh no.

Hearing a lot about NordVPN here. Any different features compared to the other VPNs?

Looking like NordVPN is working correctly again.
