Jeez, if things get any sweeter in here I'm gonna need insulin. 😄
18.2 beta 2 won't drop until next week apple is usually on a 2 week cycle for first few betas
Ahh someone’s feeling left out, wanna cuddle?
I think Mail is just completely broken on this first beta. Emails aren’t downloading or they do and then disappear. I can imagine beta 2 will fix a lot of Mail bugs.
You can turn off both Summaries and contact photos in Mail settings.
Typically Apple releases 2-3 developer betas before a public beta. When released, the public beta will be exactly the same as whatever the current developer beta is.
In early development, betas are 2 weeks apart, so I would expect developer beta 2 on Nov 4. The earliest I would expect a public beta would be around Nov 5/6.
But if they feel they want to wait for developer beta 3 first, then expect those estimates to slip 1-2 weeks. Could be as late as Nov 20 for a public beta.
They want to force development. They will release betas as soon as possible.
I don’t understand. How do you force development by having an increased cadence of releases? There are no APIs for developers to use with Apple Intelligence. What should I be developing right now?
The only thing missing are green diamonds above their heads 🤣
-Wibb's so scary!

They have released betas to developers. That’s all that’s needed at this point.
Precisely. Right now it’s more about marketing than development.
That all depends on when Apple releases the first public beta. If you download the current developer beta - developer beta 1 - and another developer beta - Developer Beta 2 - is released next week, followed by a public beta, you would be getting public beta 1 which is the same as Developer beta 2.
Email is a complete mess for me right now. I switched to list view and that made things a little better but still unstable. It's so bad that I downloaded and tried Gmail and outlook apps.. but hated both and quickly deleted them.... I am just going to stick it out and hope beta 2 fixes it. Everything else has been great so far.
They need it for testing and development of their own cloud based AI and so on. That’s only possible with beta testing.
And to the extent it is necessary 18.2 is already in the hands of developers.
Did a bit of pushing the envelope on my 15 ProMax yesterday.
I have 87 apps installed.
I cleared everything, did a hard reboot.
Then I started launching apps. Launch, login if needed, close. Rinse repeat going through all the apps. Everything worked pretty good. Ran into a couple that crashed on launch - memory hogs like Paramount+, Peacock, etc… 👍
Then I did a second round immediately after the first. No clearing or reboot.
Pretty much the same as round one however I ran into a few apps that launched then froze. They closed just fine and I kept going.
For a beta, not bad. Except for the freezes on round 2 it all worked as expected.
