Interesting point, but what if this is also done at manufacturing on a larger scale? So Apple has their own variation of localized RSR technology for last min flow of finished goods before shipping? In other words the store variation is something that originated from the manufacturing process in use with iPhone production?

We’ve speculated about the existence of such devices for years. So far we’ve seen no confirmation of it. But I’m sure that if Apple doesn’t have such devices, they want to have them and are working on them.
 
That’s unlikely. For one next week is Labor Day on Monday here in the US. Betas have been coming weekly. No reason that will stop now. And it’s consistent with past years.
Yeah would say so too.
Beta 8 today/tomorrow and then two weeks break.
Fingers crossed that the next beta will get some good optimization in form of heat and battery drain

The discussion and complains about heat and battery drain will never stop :)

Beta day today if the phone is released on the 20th..
For all of you thinking about iOS 18.1 beta just a reminder that you won’t be able to do an iCloud restore until the beta for the new phones are released which are usually mid day on release day… (and you have to set the phone up as new. Install beta. Wipe phone and then set up again to do iCloud restore)
 
I don’t see them stopping 18.0 betas with B7. B7 is still a crappy piece of software, far from RC material.

Hope we get B8 today with some of my reports closed to tide us over the next 2 weeks with upcoming holidays.

Beta 8 today with small bug fixes here and there as beta 7 was already an A build and feels complete and polished enough. That said, I’ll take all battery life improvements they can squeeze out.

Beta 8 will be released next week, the question is whether it is beta or RC!! Sentence!!!:cool::cool:
 
You guys don’t get it…
Beta 8 today…two weeks break and then RC release, why you think it could be somehow different?
We are speculating too much, and we are going to do what Apple has planned, so why not speculate, it would also make sense if the official launch is on September 20, why not!!
