Lots of nice stuff going on, but they're really dropping the ball on UI, with every major release there goes a little bit more of consistency, the new non-3D Touch menus look weird and so squashed, and previewing links/photos was much better before. The buttons on the share sheet feel alien to the UI, some app screens have a close (x) button, some have a Done button, sometimes it at the right, others is at the left, some are dismissible by swiping, some aren't. That new '+/-' button on the photos app is the most un-Apple thing UI wise I've ever seen and so tiny I don't think it even respects their own UI guidelines. At least finally the now playing screen in Apple Music actually follows your swipe down function, but then Podcasts still works like iOS12.. Really hopping they sort this stuff out at some point.
So Apple can see if the build is stable enough to release to a larger audience. if I recall correctly, there was an iOS 11 beta that was extremely buggy and unstable (it was the 10th or 11th beta I think) and they pulled it quickly after release and there never was a public beta for it. That's why they separate it.
And how is this related to a thread talking about betas?...
I typically jump in around this time on my iPad, knowing that there'll be bugs but expecting that most of the showstoppers have been weeded out.
One issue to report: my install slowed down significantly in the last 20%. I've had to put a piece of tape on the progress bar to confirm that it is indeed moving but it's been proceeding at a very very slow rate with a millimetre of progress every few minutes or so.
I'm still cautiously optimistic that I'll be able to use this on my main iPad Pro in daily use but I'll be waiting for a September late beta for my iPhone.

Casting is fixed! So happy!
Sending stickers in Messages (with Smart Keyboard) causes some buggy behaviour...
New message indicator in Mail fixed (was getting stuck indicating new email when there was none)
Mails being displayed on the first click now, as opposed to having to click a couple of times before the message is displayed.
First impressions good for PB 3 on iPad Air 3

This has been the buggiest release I can remember.
A lot of things that were working in past betas are not working now.
I would advice people to hold off on this beta. But thats just me.
somehow I am betting you don't even use an iPhone. There is no way this post is accurate. I have had 0 problems on iOS 13. I mean it is possible you are talking about some third-party apps that I do not use, but the fact you are so out of synch with everyone else, makes me stand by my guess

Pretty sure, yes, because unless you are a developer, or in a select group of invited testers, you do not have the option of installing public beta for watch OS. My math 3 is working just fine, so I am also pretty sure your 4 will be
I am beyond impressed at the features in this release. And swipe keyboard? Now I can ditch my spyware Google keyboard app!!
I haven’t been able to update past Beta 1 as it just hands on “Requesting Update” on my iPad 6.
Does anyone know how I can update to the latest Beta? I’ve tried using iTunes but the update button is greyed out. I’d tried resetting network settings on the iPad and restarting the iPad and making sure it’s plugged in with no luck.
Is there anyway I can download the latest IPSW directly from Apple and do it via DFU?

Has anyone had issues with iCloud using these betas? One thing that has prevented me from trying it is even one beta touching iCloud could mess up everything there for *all* of my iDevices.
So? It’s not like iOS 13.0 is the best iOS 13 release throughout its lifespan either. I would not be surprised if Apple released emergency iOS 13.0.1 or 13.0.2 to address certain issues.
How so? Care to elaborate?This has been the buggiest release I can remember.

I understand the the reason for the two builds. My only issue is that its only one day. It could take more than one day to find issues in the dev build. They are opening the public builds to pretty much anyone. Last year it was at least weeks if not a month between the dev and public beta.
Yep, first thing I noticed... definitely a bug, time to report.

Missing on both my iPad and iPhone XS Max on the newest beta.
Skeuomorphism is really coming back. Look at the texture in that background.
Jony Ive is leaving and Forstall has the last laugh.

Well if somebody wants to beta test they should understand the risk involved with it, Apple warns you on the beta site to archive a backup of your phone incase anything goes wrong, this should be a clear sign that the beta builds aren't perfect. But I get what you're saying.
Especially iPad OS! MY 2018 iPad Pro can do so much more now. Lightroom, Video editing (Luma Fusion) file importing/exporting from anywhere. download management ad so much more, for what I do I don't think I need the Mac, but will see how it goes.
