Apple Releases First Public Betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS

If this first public beta doesn't bring back the headphone jack I'm never buy Apple again

Been running Dev beta 2 since last week and there are little bugs everywhere. Little things like notification badge counts not refreshing correctly and minor UI bugs like the calculator app than doesn't resize correctly when transitioning from scientific to normal view.
Not show stoppers, but I think a public beta is a bit premature.

Worse on this iPhone 8. Multiple Springboard crashes and several instances where I had to hard-reboot. And tons of glitches from wrong UI bounds to widgets getting stuck and the keyboard flat out not working.

Seems early for a public beta.

I’m trying to get this right now but it looks like everyone else is too... I keep getting a 404 when I try to download the profile

You're holding it wrong.

Not sure you understand the difference between an annoying accidental hardware design problem from 7 years ago & a purposeful awesome new software feature from 7 minutes ago.

Looks like they are hosting this at the servers they used to use when iphone sales went live.

No dice on 2018 iPad

Same here

 

[Stevez67]

Same here

"Page not found" trying to download the PB profile to my XS.

 

[Goodeye]

Yeah I was getting the 404 page too. Kept retrying and got it to to go through after about 5 times of refreshing it.

 

[Cole Slaw]

I finally got through on my iPad Mini 5. Had to refresh page like a dozen times though.

Profile is downloaded for my iPad. Downloading the beta now and it is showing 45 minutes for a little over 3gb. Hopefully it doesn't get any slower.

Taking the plunge lol

Dev Beta 2 bug you should be aware of - Cannot send an email through an Exchange server account using the Mail app. Use Outlook as a workaround.

Not true in my case.. working fine

Had the same show for my XR. That was 3 mins ago, now it shows 2 mins left

Welcome to the club, everyone. Watch your step and proceed with caution.

Finally got my beta profile downloaded but now it’s going to take 20 hours downloading iOS 13

If this public beta is the same build as DP2, then god help Apple. No way DP2 is even remotely close to being a daily driver. The ‘thrillseeker’ warning with the DP builds is almost comically misleading too. If they want the ‘public’ to test this, it needs to be a significantly newer (and stable) build vs. the current DP2 - otherwise, people are going to start losing it within minutes of installation when they realize core functionality (calls/reception, scrolling lists, dark mode anomalies, etc) is half baked, stock apps such as Mail are beyond broken, and the overall experience is ways off from what you would expect from a public beta.

Just installed the public beta, I'm getting 31 hours on a single charge with it. Pretty impressive stuff!

If you just install the public beta, how do you check the projected amount of use you will get out of the battery on the charge?

Anyone running the developer beta care to speak about how Carplay works?

The UI is definitely more modern. You have the dual app view with Apple maps on left and audio app on right. All in all it's clean -- best feature IMO is apps now run independently from phone, so Waze stays open even if I close it on phone. A few bugs (resprings here and there) but highly usable for a beta.

Great advice - interesting times ahead.

Can someone please confirm the public beta build number?

Posts containing MAJOR bugs / battery issues, "Can this be used as a DAILY DRIVER" incoming!


Let the party begin! Good luck beta testers!

Overall, db2 is pretty stable, but yeah, they’ll be tons of the "major" bugs posts as it gets in the hands of even more people using different apps and settings.
Only the end user can decide if it’s stable enough to be their daily driver.

You’re installing it wrong..??????

 

[blcamp]

Ya'll knock yourselves out... I'm gonna wait until the 3rd or 4th beta before I start torturing my poor old iPad Air 2.

Can you install public beta over DP with the profile? I need to know as i have so many bugs and it might fix my problem. Cheers.

Everyone has been saying it's the same as developer beta 2. So even if you could, it wouldn't fix any of your bugs.

 

[Crzyrio]

is this a real issue with the current beta? I just can't imagine why they would release a public beta with that big of a bug..

What? This is still a beta at the end of the day, if you are not prepared to run into bugs dont use it
