Yes, our geek panties are tied in one big collective knot today.
18.1 needs another beta asap. Still lots of bugs.
As one would expect from a beta 2 of a pretty radical point release. I've now lost Shortcuts (crashes on launch) and lockscreen widgets (they flickered and went away).
😥 let’s hope beta 3 drops tomorrow.
I think he was implying that the beta this week would be roughly the same as the RC, minus any information about the iPhone 16's and also minus the beta logging. Probably has some of the Battery optimizations, though.
I noticed that too. Usually he saves most of his stuff for his Sunday newsletter. Guess there was too much to do that this week. Odd for the last week in August, usually one of the slowest news weeks of the year.
Wednesday seems a bit odd for a beta release, guess it’s today, hopefully,
Hopefully. We need a fine new and polished beta.
No one flipflops as hard as gurman.
He implies that B8 is the eventual RC build, which happens almost every year (the last released beta being an identical build to the eventual RC), not that it’s the RC.
A week ago that flopper said B7 is final?
Yeah seems like he was more than one time wrong this time - let’s see if he is wrong again with beta 8/beta 3 releases
He was very vague with his statement for a reason. He was somewhat right if you nail him on this „no more visible changes“ - but this is also clear, it’s the standard with late beta versions.
All his RC and whatever talk is mostly bs.

All clear for today unless Apple announces another event or an updated product.
I had the idle thought yesterday: I wonder if Gurman is saying Wednesday for the beta releases to cover for the same source who fed him the September 10th event date.
All night without sleeping, pressing the update button and nothing Tim did not launch the 18.1 beta, today I will fall asleep when they launch it, you will see!!! O_OO_O
I was thinking exactly the same. Apple might be just too caught up with their AI stuff in 18.1 beta 3. 🤷🏻♂️ They could probably release iOS 18.0 DB 8 earlier separately, but then the 18.1 crew would go mad.
