Beware if you use iCloud for calendars and reminders.
You cannot acces your reminders through iCloud.com anymore. Not even after a rollback to iOS12 or a reminder restore.
Also my calendars stopped syncing and gave an ‘your account is locked for maintenance’ all the time when accessing calendars from iCloud.com
So if you use iCloud.com a lot to manage stuff be aware that it is not compatible with iOS13. Same issues with beta.icloud.com

They didn’t say anything about not running into bugs. They asked about one specific bug. But you didn’t focus your answer on their. Instead you chose to try to show that you are smarter than them. Ridiculous
You do realize that these ARE developer betas, right? They were developer betas last week, and these are the SAME betas, just a week later. The next public beta? It also will be a developer beta, just delayed by some amount of time.
The only reason for the delay is for the developers (and those smart enough to install on non-critical devices) to know that it isn’t catastrophic. But, there are LOTS of issues that don’t meet the level of “catastrophic”. And, who knows, there COULD be something catastrophic in there that hasn’t been found. If you find it... well, lucky you, that’s what beta testers, do, REPORT THAT SUCKER!...and I hope you installed it on a non-critical device
AND they’re not being pushed to a larger audience. they’re being made available. In order to install them there are steps you have to take... you have to CHOOSE to want to do this, so it’s a pull.
So, if you are taking steps to PULL an unfinished product down to your ONLY phone, if you have issues... well, you’ve just learned why you should NEVER install a beta unless you know what you’re doing!
While I overall agree (db2 has been very stable for me), I do still read of people that are having major issues. Could be a small percentage, or folks that shouldn’t be running it and messed up the installation.
As an aside, and I have zero proof to back this up, I am very suspect of many of the places that would host the dev beta profile for public consumption. Could some of those profiles have been "corrupted" in some way that really messed up some phones?
No, Apple believes it’s stable enough for “beta testers”. They will think it’s stable enough for the general public once they reach Gold Master. The only way to guarantee that what your’e downloading is what Apple considered stable enough for the general public is to NOT install any beta profiles on your phone. That’s the ONLY way.
This might take some time ... like in the good old days with modem
Hmm...
Well I backed up so I’ll just restore if it’s too buggy. Had to do that with an iPad Pro once.

Just a reminder that the iOS 13 public beta released today is the same build as iOS 13 developer beta 2, which is supper buggy, especially with AirPods and AirPlay-related things. DO NOT install it.

It will quickly reduce. I initially got that when I installed db2.
No, a Beta tester is a developer. A Public Beta tester is an Apple fan that can't wait.
How many times do I need to educate people on this?!!
Apple will be aware of this trend and it is not going to change as more people want the software early.
Thanks. Installed on my IPP 12.9" 2nd generation without issue. Upon rebooting, the screen looked higher res than before. Is there any way to make the icons in the dock smaller?
Any good tutorials on how to use the new feature in iPadOS?
I have been using ios13 since day 1. Beta 1 on my iPhone X was amazing minus ****** battery. Beta 2 has better battery but it is buggy as hell.
Apple today released the first public betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS to its public beta testing group, giving non-developers a chance to test out the software ahead of its upcoming fall release.
The first public beta of iOS 13 corresponds to the second developer beta released last week. Apple originally said that the public beta would be coming in July, but has apparently decided to release it a few days early. Apple's public beta testing website is still down, so public beta testers will not be able to install the software until it's up.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 13 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. Before installing a beta, make sure to create a full encrypted iTunes backup or an iCloud backup. It's best to install iOS 13 on a secondary device because beta software is not always stable and can include bugs.
iOS 13 is a major update to the iOS operating system that runs on the iPhone and the iPad, but this year, iOS 13 and iPadOS, the version of iOS 13 that runs on the iPad, are separate downloads as they've been split up.
iPadOS is identical to iOS 13 in almost every way, though there are some iPad-specific features such as new multitasking capabilities. For the most part, the two operating systems share the same features.
iOS 13 introduces a long list of new features. Dark Mode changes the entire look of the operating system, shifting it from light to dark, while an overhauled Photos app makes it easier to relive your memories with new Days, Months, and Years viewing options.
There's a new photo editing interface that makes it easier to edit photos than ever before, plus there are new tools to work with and options to edit the intensity of the built-in filters.
You can edit video right in the Photos app for the first time, and on the newest iPhones, there's a new High-Key Mono lighting effect and an option to adjust the intensity of Portrait Lightning effects.
There's a less obtrusive volume HUD, a new Find My app that combines Find My iPhone and Find My Friends and lets you track your devices even with they don't have an LTE or WiFi connection.
A Sign In with Apple feature (not yet active) gives you a convenient and data safe way to sign into apps and websites, providing an alternative to Facebook and Google sign in options.
Maps has a new street-level "Look Around" mode and a Collections feature for making lists of places, Reminders has been entirely overhauled to make it more functional, there's a profile feature in Messages along with new Memoji and Animoji stickers, and Siri has a new voice.
There are a ton of additional new features and changes coming in iOS 13, and for a full rundown of what you can expect, you should check out our iOS 13 roundup.

Yes, which is why I already had it installed last week.
Doesn’t change that Apple republished them, deliberately, as a public beta. That the build number is the same doesn’t matter. Eventually, there will be a golden master that will have the same build number as what used to be a beta. Doesn’t make that golden master a beta.
I no longer need to charge my Xs. iOS 13 gathers the electrons from all around and continuously charges my iPhone

It seems to be running pretty smoothly on my iPad Pro 12.9 2018!
Of course the bugs are obvious here and there, but hey, I think it‘s perfectly usable. What annoys me mots so far is what appears like stuttering animations here and there, and especially on the homescreen. Speaking of which, I‘m not a big fan of the smaller icon grid and especially not of the today widget. I dont know, it reminds me of android/windows tablets.
All the other improvements are amazing though!!
