iOS 9 PB too please. So desperate for an update. My iPhone battery is screaming in pain and the phone is practically boiling alive.
I'm finding several apps that use BLE communications crash on the latest beta of iOS 9. Curious to see where the finger is pointing on these.
Agreed! The previous public beta did wonders for my battery, but it's draining like crazy with the current one.
Don't want to jinx it, but so far my Exchange 2010 account is working in Mail.app. Messages downloading, able to send an outgoing, and able to Archive messages from inbox (all of these things were broken in PB1-5)
Considering Force Touch is supposed to have a lot of integrations, it wouldn't be such a simple drop-in. There would already be a build internal to Apple that is currently loading on to the phones, assuming Sept 9 is a "release" day rather than an announcement day.
I'm just hoping the El Capitan build has an update for Mail that allows images in the signature without looking broken, or breaking at the recipient's end.
I'm getting tired of El Capitan. I want to start beta on 10.12.
By the way I have an interesting bug on the Dock since the DP1. Almost every time I quite any application, that app icon appears like it was cut in two parts (a smaller part of the icon appears just above the icon itself and just for a few seconds). It still present on this DP, so, I don't know what bugs they are fixing on these dp...
Finally, hopefully now I can set the resolution to 1680x1050 and the login screen will display like that also.
Downloading now, 1 hour to go..
Usually after Apple Event, GMs are seeded, so devs and security firms (i believe carriers now too need to approve) can test and send in their work for Apple to push.
Is this new beta stable enough to put on my main imac?
Just bought an imac A month ago. Wondering if tthis newest beta is stable enough to put on my main imac?

I doubt it. Yosemite was released October 16th.
iOS is September and OS X is October.
Only thing of interest to me is the split window management, and I guess the under the hood Metal stuff is always welcome... but man, it seems like each OS release gets less and less features. Shouldn't it be the other way around? And let's hope that this doesn't introduce new WiFi bugs etc.
Winter has been coming to the Seven Kingdoms for 5 seasons so just a few months in advance is acceptable.
It's been stable on my mbpr for the last few weeks as a daily driver.
Been using El Cap on my work laptop since the start of the Beta program, and it's been fairly stable. Currently dealing with a KP problem after waking from sleep, so we'll see if this fixes it. Other than that it's been pretty stable. Anything to get off of Yosemite. Love the name, hate the OS.
