I think I've installed 4 public betas in about a week time.

True, this is a good thing. Let's hope Apple won't go one step back again with iOS 13.
Yeah, before I thought it might be a troubling sign, but people on the forums helped me realize it's probably a good thing. They are supposedly changing a lot under the hood, so I'm hoping for a really stable update.

It's on!

Six versions later we might have a decent operating system again! I'm pumped for it!
Hah, yeah I was thinking maybe we'll just get a great one every six years. Sigh…

Mac is also not far behind. So far 9th beta.
 
[doublepost=1535407942][/doublepost]Unfortunately they have not yet made waze available on Apple CarPlay as promised.

That is up to Waze to deliver, not Apple. Google has to add the functionality to the app.

Gold master next week
The GM is not a beta. And it will actually be released after the Special Event keynote as “iOS 12”
Also to recognize a beta from a GM look at the build number:
• Beta: 16A5365b
• GM: 16A365
 
come on...he's obviously speculating... and with good reason, in previous betas (ie, the past 9 years) more frequent beta releases = close to GM.


People don’t come to this thread for “false” info or people spreading info that just isn’t true....

How does “close to GM” equal next week? Enlighten us, please
 
Beta 10 started eating battery life like crazy. I was hoping beta 11 would improve it, but I actually think it's worse!
Before beta 10 I was getting a full day on a charge with about 30% left at the end of the day. Now, a full charge is only lasting about half a day! And charging is painfully slow unless the device is powered off.

Watch beta 9(?) appears to fix issue with the Toy Story face not showing animations.

Anyone know how Runkeeper works on the iPhone X with this most recent release?

Oh come on really? We’ve been through this every single beta.

Waze and google maps need to be updated by google to ios12 before working with CarPlay. But ios12 apps are not accepted into the App Store until ios12 officially ships.
 
I’m not running the betas but can anyone who is confirm for me that Apple Music now allows you to organise/sort your music as “recently added”. I never renewed my Apple Music subscription back when it first launched due to this feature not being present. Today I finally renewed and I can’t believe this feature still isn’t available in the current iOS. This is literally a make or break for me. If this feature isn’t within iOS 12, I’ll be sticking with Spotify.

he obviously doesnt know that its coming out next week...i took what he wrote as he's simply implying that the gm seed must be super close given the frequency of releases. Which I agree with.

I dont think you should take everything super literally. it's quite easy to understand what he's getting at... im surprised you dont get it. no need to get worked up however.

This has been present in ios 11. It's still present in ios 12. Recently added is the default view when you open the music app
 
Interesting: after the previous Beta update the 3 iPhone SE devices in our testing shop were booting in the 7 to 8 second range. "Amazing", I thought. After today's Beta update booting has gone back to 12 - 14 seconds. Not important in the day to day, but, interesting nonetheless.
 
Well, may I suggest that you join the beta program to test and report on issues with iOS12 not in order to merely better your own experience with the final product, but to improve upon the experience for the majority of iOS users. In other words, beta test to serve the common good rather than your own narrow set of interests.

On topic: updated on my iPad mini 2. This small wonderful device has actually become usable again.

I’ve got a mini 2 on 10.3.3, did you do a reset or anything? Just wondering if it’s worth moving on from 10.
 
There is only ONE feature I'm looking forward to in iOS 12 that could maybe coax me off of iOS 9—Stability and speed improvements over iOS 11 (I guess that's two).

Crossing my fingers (and definitely not messing around w a beta).

Miles better than iOS9 and 11 on 6S.
