I still think we will see iOS 14 this month and iOS 14.1 next month, or very soon after. BUT if that is the case we would need to see a beta for 14.1 very soon.

Right and they generally won't push another beta until the public release is out.

No GM. It’s going to be next month, next week so for iPads maybe some other stuff like Macs or AirPods. The iPhones which bring new iOS aren’t being announced till next month.

Thats not how this would work. The GM would be next week. We are at the end for iOS 14.

Watches maybe but they could also release new ones still on 6 just with pending features. but iPads won’t necessarily need 14. But what are the chances of uncoupling iOS release from iPhone.

I think it is way more important for them to have the new watches able to use the latest software on release than having iOS and iPhones release synced up.

So I'm just going to assume, app defaults won't come until 14.1?

who says they aren't already there?

There's always 14.1 beta to look forward to.

Never touching a .1 beta again since the fiasco with transferring from XS Max to 11PM caused by 13.1 beta

All of the widget bugs seem to be taken care of, but it seems my battery (iPhone 11, 4 months old) is draining significantly faster since last weeks beta. Anyone else experience that?

Did I simply miss what Beta 8 adds?

Realistically speaking, at this point in the beta process there likely shouldn't be much if anything being added, just things getting fixed and polished basically.

Nice. You now have access to the content behind the Siri interface (so you can scroll etc. while using Siri).

EDIT: Unfortunately only works on iPad. Not sure if it has been like that before...

iOS 14 GM will be pushed out to developers next week on the 15th, right after the keynote. They usually do that.

Ok. There a way to fix the copy alert banner that blocks the safari / chrome search bar? I don't need to be alerted that there is something in the clipboard.

Assuming that what the event is actually about relates to iOS 14.

Getting an “unable to install... try again later” error on my iPhone, been on the beta since start and this is the first time I’ve had an install issue. Any tips to fix? Thanks

Even with this build, the weather widget is off. It may say rainy and 75, but when I open it, it's 82 and sunny. When I close it, it *may* update the actual widget.

May be a lame question, but do you have ‘Background App Refresh’ on for Weather? Even if you do, weather refresh is always touchy. Can imagine with widgets and new source it may take a while to get right.

Anyone know if we will have the ability to mark iMessages and or text messages as Unread? Thanks.

This was present in DB7 as well.

Battery has been all over the place. I’m on a iPhone 11 (battery capacity 95%) and it will read 100% for a while. I’ll reboot it and it will be around 86-89%. It’s not draining significantly for me, just seems like calibration is off. Battery life is better on iOS 13.6.1 for me though.

Yeah it's on.

Question does anyone have the Navy Federal Credit Union app and does it work or banks app in general work now? thinking about risking it and downloading now.

 

[jrdatrackstar1223]

This was present in DB7 as well.

I’m on beta 7 and I can’t access the content behind Siri, it just dismisses Siri as soon as I try to scroll.

they also usually announce watches with the phones. "usually" is out the window this year.

Lots of betas, hope a good release

Has a feel of a GM to it this one.
