Additional Notes

To get the beta over-the-air:
  1. Enable Beta Updates (Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta Updates)
  2. Make sure you’re signed into the right Apple Account
  3. Select which beta you’d like to receive (public/developer beta)
  4. Hit "Back" and pull down to refresh
  5. Back up to a computer or to iCloud
  6. Install the beta
If you no longer wish to receive beta updates:
  1. Turn off the Beta Updates (you can also sign out of your Apple Account to reset this setting)
  2. Wait for the next public release or follow the guide below to go back to a release build
Troubleshooting: If the beta doesn’t show up on your phone, try turning on airplane mode, then turning it back off, or restart your device.

How to install using a Mac?
  1. You’ll need the Xcode beta itself or a MobileDevice.pkg somebody extracted from the beta (click with two fingers or control-click), then choose Show Package Contents. Go to Contents/Resources/Packages. - this will work on older Macs that do not support the latest macOS or Xcode betas)
  2. Back up to your Mac or to iCloud in case you need to go back to another version
  3. Hold down Option, then click on ‘Check for Update’/‘Restore iPhone...’ and select the IPSW file you downloaded from the Apple Developer site. Note: You must be connected to the internet to complete the restore.
  4. Enter your iPhone passcode if you’re prompted to do so.
Notes/Tips:
  • Always keep a backup in case you need to restore your phone
  • Restoring wipes your settings and all data on your iPhone
  • You only need to reinstall MobileDevice.pkg if your Mac stops recognizing your iPhone
  • There is no MobileDevice.pkg equivalent to iTunes for PC which would require a new iTunes to support new/beta iOS
  • Upgrading to a newer iPhone? You can update using your Mac before setting up the phone

If i don't see any reports of glaringly big or annoying bugs I think this is the one I'll be hoping on. Earlier than I normally do.

looks like we are getting access to playground soon-or maybe just a glitch. but for a quick second after you click done on the early access requested screen, you see the app and then it shuts down

so far, it's not fixed for me. I see on my laptop 3 new emails in my iCloud inbox. on my updated phone, it's showing 1 new mail in the badge but zero unread emails in the inbox.

ETA, the badge issue cleared and the emails just showed up. so maaaaybe?????

@bigjnyc see my edit. it *might* be working correctly now and things were just delayed on the reboot. my fingers are crossed....

The few major changes i’ve seen so far is that the icons in settings are dark (but have an annoying outline) and the TV app has the new Edge to edge top tab bar. However iPad doesn’t have the new mail app yet.

That looks absolutely hideous even without the outline. They‘re taking it a bit too far, those are no app icons.
