Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 13.1 to Developers

[brinary001]

I like it when you are on an elevator and you can tell by the speed of movement and how long it takes to change floor number that you have passed a floor that has no button/number. Secret floor. This is often where security is at... and is accessed from different elevator or stairwell.

Ooo I haven't paid much attention to that but I definitely will now! Interesting.

Shortcut Automations are back in this 13.1 release...

You are all brave souls. Good luck

How? Do you not use the native Mail app?

This tickled me XD
But the mail issues seem to have been patched in the most recent public beta. At least for me, anyway.

Looks like this was a mistake and has been pulled down

I'm still downloading...not sure what you think was pulled.

Are we going to see a MacOS 10.16 beta today too?

It's true. My building doesn't have a 13th floor. I mean it does, it actually goes up to 17 floors. But 13 is skipped, jumps from floor 12 to floor 14. It's weird and I see it far more often than not here in the states.

Same thing in Chinese cultures where they skip the number 4

I thought that in the USA particularly, there is a lot of suspicion around the number 13 (e.g. no 13th floor in some hotels) so maybe this is why?

I don't think so there seems to be a minimum of 2 weeks between Catalina betas

Interesting I didn't know that!

 

[FrankySavvy]

Rebooted and setting up now. Hopefully this gets in the hands of someone who can pull some new iPhone secrets out of this!

Is this a "the number 13 is taboo" thing? Like how some hotels skip the 13th floor? Maybe Apple doesn't want to release iOS 13 because some people might not install it/buy the new phone so just name it 13.1 right off the bat.

Haha I love that theory!

With beta 8, things seemed better at first, but then it’s almost like the Mail app is susceptible to wear and tear - the more I use it, the buggier and less stable it becomes. It only started crashing after sending emails today (something which hasn't occurred since the early betas). I’m really flummoxed. But one thing is clear, at least for me, this has categorically been the worst/buggiest/least stable developer beta run ever - I didn’t think they could top the iOS 7 developer beta phase, but they sure managed. Well done Timmy and Co.

Nope. I am personally on Gmail app, but there are lots of third party mail apps with much better features/functionality than Apple’s own.

#4 signifies ‘death’
#8 represents “good fortune” - which is why you always have Chinese jonesing for phone numbers with lots of 8’s, or choosing items with the numeral 8 associated. Once you know that, a lot of things become quite comedic.

Superstition! That was the word I was aiming for.

My personal favorite is Spark. I've been using it exclusively for the past 1.5 years.

Unlikely - Angela Ahrendts is gone.

I installed it on my iPad and it does say 13.1 (17A5821e)

I also noticed Automation is back in Shortcuts...

Ummmm...what? They were not.

 

[Icaras]

Don’t stop installing folks. Push forward!

 

[Crzyrio]

Ummmm...what? They were not.

Did you do the tickle dance? That solves the issue.


But seriosly, its not out of this world that these problems will only show up for some people.
