Apple just shot themselves in the foot!
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Cupertino culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Seattle where you can become successful by being an *******. If you screw over your userbase, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is that for iOS user, after hearing about this beta delay, is not going to want to iOS9 at all, nor will they pay for Apple Music. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Apple has alienated an entire market with this move.
Apple, publicly apologize and release Beta 3 now or you can kiss your business goodbye.

oh i know about Cue's tweet, i thought the guy meant someone just confirmed tomorrow officially. Guess no one knows.
Yes, an entire market of maybe 1% of iOS's installed user base. I can hear Tim Cook crying right now.
GAF classics are best classics.
EDIT: Guys you need to read the link at the bottom, he's joking.
That's all you've got to say? You said two things about my issues that were not correct as if you knew. Then I told you the truth about them and what I really think about them. That's pretty immature to dismiss me after you assumed things yourself and gave me that "Let me guess..." attitude.
Your response just screams "I didn't know what I was talking about."
You don't like some elements of the UI, think they look disjointed. That's true. That's also not the most important part of an OS launch. If they launch and take even 6 months to make them more standard, that's acceptable as long as the thing works. The bug you pointed out about the actual bug with the shell is what they should be working on. UI appearance is not as important to most users, so making it work better on all hardware is going to take primary focus.
you know, this would all be solved if Cue took a second to respond to at least one damn tweet and say "hey it's coming out next week" or "sorry, it got pushed back a day", etc.
I don't like this whole ignoring thing.

Haven't you heard? It's been OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED for 10 a.m. tomorrow!!!
You have a better shot at asking Taylor Swift to ask them.
