Sure looks like an "S" to me

On my world, it means hope

Nice new lock screen and control center “now playing” for Apple TV as well. As of B3 (as far as I’m aware) this automatically comes up on all devices signed into same iCloud account. I’m a huge fan of this, especially volume control now on lock screen for compatible TVs.

EDIT: Cannot confirm ‘same iCloud account’ and if this does or does not connect to Home at all for family members. All I know is that I comes up on all my devices (same iCloud account).

“Same icloud account?” How’s that work for family members?

Can’t confirm, could be tied into Home, but someone else will have to test this.

Has the keyboard bug concerning alphanumeric password been fixed yet?

Nope, unfortunately not...

Nope, unfortunately not...

Dang it!


I’ll try to look at the brighter side of this, we still have new emoji/Animoji.

Only three emoji jokes so far. The community is lagging.

Hey, I made my contribution, you cannot ask for more from me, alright? It’s up to others to step up their game. 🙂

Crackling earpiece on XS /Max fixed?

I certainly hope so... this is quite annoying and has been reported by myself and others in the past betas earlier in 12.x.x

Whoever designed the actual Apple TV remote should be taken out to the center of the Apple Campus and slapped silly with it. Worst design ever. No one can honestly say they have never mistakenly picked it up in the dark accidentally pushing the wrong buttons during a movie.

I want to download the beta on my primary device so bad but I don't want to live to regret it.

Have they fixed the mysterious battery drain on the iPhone 7? Since 12.1.4, my batter barely lasts 4 hours. Prior to that, I could easily go a day without a charge...

Have you contacted Apple Support about this? What is your battery health?

iOS 12 has been a solid release so far, one of the best versions since version 6 or 7. Although this x.2 release isn't too exciting feature wise, I welcome the further refinement of the platform.

Hideous news.app icon. Hope it changes before release.

That should play well in non-English speaking countries where the word for “news” doesn’t start with an “N.”

Isn’t it only available in English speaking countries right now?

If Apple allows you to delete it, lol.

Nonsensical comment, If you are on betas you want it, and AFAIK it won't bugger you with notifications, you can also disable automatic updates.

Edit, why am I even bothering commenting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That same question also hit my mind 😀

 

[ralphabet]

Apple News icon changed. Ugly.

To me it looks like an "S" now that it has the curved inner corners. The old one looked like an "N"

You’re reading it wrong... it’s an ‘$’ of 60% margin 😛

For the moment. Presumably that isn’t their end goal.

 

[justperry]

Odd Icon, I see an S as well.

I really hope its addressed, really annoying and unacceptable.
I also reported it few times through the feedback app on betas and there are huge threads on apple discussion boards about same issues, but i understand apple doesnt monitor that website.

Doesn't really matter as the News app is barely available anywhere outside the US anyway.

Public Beta just hit. Downloading now.

Crackling earpiece not fixed on beta 4...
That’s really annoying!
