Apple did this before (i.e. re-released a beta while refusing to say why or what's changed) and I ignored it out of spite until the next proper one came along :). No issues.
Yeah that will show em! The nerve of them fixing something and asking folks to update again. I mean why actually test their software for them anyway, am I right? 😂

Since revised DB3, system settings window opened always half sized in the lower left display corner.

Seems it remembered the new position and size I set after the fourths or fifths time opening it now.

Safari TP still unusable.

Edit: Sorry, wrong thread.

Beta 2 was HORRIBLE on my 15 Pro Max, beta 3 is much better.

The biggest annoyance in beta 2 was when sync in Mail app got stuck, and there was no solution for it. But Ive heard that people in beta 3 still has this same issue.
🧐 I am also on my 15 PM with beta 2 - my mail synchs normal, sometimes it loads two times until the mails appear, but it’s working fine.
My battery (limit to 80%) normally holds up until the evening, but I don’t expect more from the beta this early in terms of battery life.

I just frightened myself by the possibility of updating and it’s much more worse than now…

What you think guys, wait for beta 4 or even later beta?
 
Updated to revised DB3 and Messages app is missing in CarPlay? I went to send a text via Siri and got error that no app was available. Checked when I got home and messages wont show up in my car. Anyone else? seen this before?
 
Is beta 3 mostly better in battery life or worse than beta 2?
What’s your experience on this guys?
Mostly interested in the 15 PM users out there and their experience.

I've already tested DB3 😁 I'll test DB4 when it comes out.

Why are you getting so wound up over this??
Because I'm stubborn.

And because I was taught numbers go 1,2,3,4,5,6 ... not 1,2,3,3,4,5,6 ... (and I'm stubborn).
 
Weird.

If DB3 isn't ready for public beta, then instead of sneaking out a revised version with no release notes, they should release DB4 and base PB1 on that. Seems odd that Apple would handicap their development process just to keep the same numbers as a previous iOS release. But whatever - they don't care what I think :)

I'll skip this and go to DB4 when it comes out.

Edit: This new let's-annoy-adrian beta is around 360MB in size. The PB has to be full-size, so it's not even going to be the same anyway.
It‘s 360Mb for people on iOS 18, since you get delta updates. If you hop on the 18 Beta train you get full downloads with 6Gb+…

Restart your phone.
 
I wonder if beta 4 will have new CarPlay wallpapers. Maybe not until GM

Edit: sorry, forgot it’s called RC these days
 
Umm…Apple Intelligence, which has not yet made an appearance.
I bet it will be available in beta 5 or later.
Sad that they lock out Europe!
Or maybe it will be enough to set the language of my phone to English ?
