Good I don't want them adding TouchId for a temporary issue. It'll just make the phone more expensive. And the notch will still be there for the camera.
Got a tip for us?

I hope the default music streaming service can be set based on the voice of the person requesting music. I prefer Apple Music buy my wife and daughter both prefer Spotify. It will be great if HomePod automatically recognizes who is asking for music then plays from their preferred source.
I think it is the RC.

There's been that issue for the past few releases where beta updates don't have the Beta tag. For example, I got "Developer Beta 8" on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but got just iOS 14.5 on my iPhone 12 and iPad Pro, all running the same beta profile.
So I wouldn't use this as an indication.
I have never experienced this.
Every time there has been no tag, it has been the final version. But of course, it can be the case here

The most needed update offering ways to unlock all iPhones that have no TouchID while wearing masks.
for crying out loud, SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED LAST YEAR!!

Installing the Public beta, the early battery consumption issue was gone with previous beta.
You can still use your passcode. Problem solved. No need to be angry at Apple. They haven't done anything wrong.
At this point it’s not even about the notch and regardless of how temporary this issue is gonna be (nobody knows), having two authentication means is great to have. They could have just added the button TouchID the last iPad Air is using, no fancy sub-screen scanning or anything.
As a long time Apple fan, fully invested in a HomeKit home with multiple HomePod, HomePod Minis and smart everything… Apples slogan of “it just works” is absolute BS now. Siri in particular is the most stupid smart assistant out there and needs desperate improvements.
Did you just assume the gender of those Emojis? Bigot!
On my ipadPro, I noticed the the signing certificate in the ipadOS beta profile was EXPIRED. I deleted and tried to reinstall. After logging in, It lets me download the profile, but wont let me install… tried numerous times.
update: tried again and it finally worked...

100% this. Especially as they didn't do touchID for iPhone 12. It should have launched in Sep/Oct with the new phones instead. It's not like this is in any way shape or form new tech. You can unlock your mac with Apple Watch for years. And macOS and iOS are the same base.
The slow speed of Google and Apple in software is shocking and can only be explained by both having grown so big, engineering teams spend more time coordinating, planning, reviewing, endless meetings, filing for approval, throwing away good things due to miscoordination etc. than actually coding.
