iOS 15 Speculation Thread

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Nah, it's something to live with for 2 weeks, as they're not going to be classed as showstoppers. This build was 9th July, so we're 9 days behind their internal builds, so they will be working on it, for it to come in 2 weeks for us.


Well, iOS 11 to 14, weekly started after B5 was released. iOS 10 was after Beta 4. Before that it was much longer.

So, going by recent history, expect it to be 2 weeks to B4, then 2 weeks to B5. Set expectation as that, and anything sooner is a bonus

Great observation. Thank you. Fingers are crossed.

So we thinking 28th for the next beta?
(2 week cycle)

I suppose so.

 

[uandme72]

I think either today or tomorrow, we get 14.7 public release.
Next week we get 15 beta 4.

27th or 28th and then I think we go to a 1 week cycle following that

I think weekly starts only after 14 August.

anyone know if beta 3 already has support for the magsafe battery pack?

I don’t think anyone would have been able to test it yet until tomorrow. And maybe review units were under an embargo.

gotcha, if it doesn't then they may release an updated build or beta 4 this week.. *crosses fingers*

betas don't have to be tightly correlated with product availability.
Its the public releases that matter in this regard.
So beta 4, next week.

Has Apple previously used the FCS abbreviation like they are with 14.7? https://developer.apple.com/news/releases/

First time. Possibly to show it's the final candidate that's different from release candidate build

macOS 11.5? It got a second RC build but no public release

iOS 14.7 Features: Everything New in iOS 14.7

Apple today released iOS 14.7 to the public after several months of beta testing. iOS 14.7 is a smaller update than some of the updates that preceded...

Looks like 14.7 released today. So maybe tomorrow????

If there’s no support for the MagSafe battery pack in the current beta, I expect a beta this week, probably today. Otherwise it will be next week (and maybe Monterey this week).

Why will they need to ensure a beta has that support?

 

[StumpyBloke]

They don’t. If someone is running the beta and can’t use the new battery pack, tough.

 

[Mikepeer]

Today IOS15 beta 4
Next Monday IOS14.8 beta1

I hope ?

have a nice day ??

 

[Ansath]

Exactly. We have had this before, where a beta does not support something that the public release supported, and they didn't change their schedule to bring out a new beta sooner.

Nope Dear.
that will violate the two week gap for initial betas till say beta 5.

 

[MLVC]

Exactly. We have had this before, where a beta does not support something that the public release supported, and they didn't change their schedule to bring out a new beta sooner.

Usually there's a beta pretty soon after they release something so it's supported. They don't wait two weeks.

 

[MLVC]

In this case the MagSafe battery pack works fine with the current 15 beta. So it’s irrelevant.

 

[Ansath]

Yes, they do wait 2 weeks. It's always happed this way when something like that occurs. It's beta, they don't have to support something new when they have a new build coming in 2 weeks, as it not a public release & clearly they state that things will not work properly at times.

There you go. No need for a new build anyway. Your OP though, that is contradictory to Apple's behaviour with Beta releases.
