Only 4.65 GB on my 16 Pro

Weird. Mine was 10+ GB coming from beta 4 on my 16 pro.

Well that’s a bummer.

Wow this would be a bummer

Some folk need to chill for an extra 10 minutes, it seems….

Weird. Mine was 10+ GB coming from beta 4 on my 16 pro.

Might be because I have Apple Intelligence turned OFF.

Well.. installing dev beta 5 over pb 1 ... there goes my safety net.

 

[internet rabbit]

something like 9 gb on my 16p... weird

Download size varies by model and region.

The "preparing to update" screen takes way too long these days, so I downloaded the iPSW over gigabit ethernet and I'm updating that way. Glad I'm home from work (not by choice though).

9.93 GB for me. Weird that everyone’s download size is different. 16 Pro.

Only 4.65 GB on my 16 Pro

Download size varies by model and region.

I mean that’s a pretty big variance…

^That's it!
Probably the algorithm estimating the delta for updates should not take into account, the different sizes of data for AI on different devices. People should file a bug report to not include individual Ai data into the calculation.

Preparing on iPhone and iPad takes forever.

Nothing on my Mac yet!

But honestly. How strong the net was? Maybe a spidernet

 

[greg624]

Maybe we owe that guy an apology 😂😂😂😂

Update or not update decisions decisions lol.

 

[Premium1]

Started installing at 1:16. Finished and devices running at 1:33 (ipad and iphone). All day guy is going to be upset lol.

and I didn’t edit. you shall live with my typo‘s from now on 😘😂😇🫡🤪

 

[Silverstring]

Download is only 1.58 GB for me, glad I retired to give myself the time for this.

 

[upandown]

Ugh, IPSW is out but they havent updated xcode so it cant be installed.

 

[LutzRFrank]

Must be a typo on the front page … coming a week after the fourth beta ??

Hopefully we will enjoy now our weekly dose of beta …

 

[greg624]

I’m at work on 5g so it’s not as fast as how it would be at home.

B5 on my 16 PM is a vast improvement with UI performance, swiping between home screens is the smoothest yet, no stuttering when opening and closing folders and scrolling in Safari, settings and apps is a hell of an improvement as it's much smoother. It's not 100% perfect yet, but compared to the disaster that B4 was, it's a night and day improvement.

Comparing Music on my iPad (beta 5) with my iPhone (beta 4 still), Liquid Glass is comparable. (Sorry, not in a position to screenshot rn).

same here.. but that's normal. macOS is almost always last to be available OTA ...
I expect it in 30-45 min

 

[upandown]

Downloading IPSW..

Were you able to install it?

 

[iSuzan]

A bit wibbly wobbly on my iPhone. But I give it time for a while and let it index or whatever it always does after an update.

Drag notification center down (best glassy glas in the whole OS), when down drag it a bit more down... or just swipe/drag down the homescreen - I have a dancing keyboard then.

Oh well... I try to let it rest for a while.

I updated 2 phones over mid speed wifi in 45 mins, so no....
