Apple Seeds Fifth iOS 9 Beta to Developers, Third iOS 9 Beta to Public Testers

[viachicago22]

Public Beta 3 is out!

Why are people deleting the public beta profile? PB 3 is up. That's just unnecessary

I think because you're getting developer beta's if you remove the profile. There's really no reason to keep the profile. In this case there's no difference since PB3 is released as well, however this was not known a few minutes back.

Right. Until this point it was assumed (by me) the public beta would be tomorrow since it has been following about 24 hours after the developer version.

Public Beta 3 is available. I just installed it on my iPad Air 2.

Still waiting on the performance improvements to bring back to life some of the devices that really went downhill starting with iOS7 (iPhone 4/4s, iPad 2). But so far at least on my old iPad 2 it hasn't. Hopefully still lots of debug code on slowing things down.

It's absolutely not "debug code". It's all the freaking blurs everywhere.

Indeed! i'm updating as well

 

[penajmz]

Almost done installing! Really hoping for less lag. That's all I ask PLEASE!

Public beta not showing up for me.

Just delete the public beta profile and you instead get access to the developer updates instead

Ok, sorry if this is a silly question, but isn't the Public Beta 3 the same build as Developer Beta 5? What's the point of deleting the PB profile to get the Developer Beta?

Also, if you have the PB profile on your phone and watch, and you delete the PB profile from your phone, that gives you access to the Developer Beta on your phone. Any way to get the Developer Beta's for the watch using a similar trick? Currently running PB 2, on my phone, and would really like to get the Developer Beta of WatchOS 2 to go along with it. Just wondering if there's a way without needing the Developer Profile for the watch (which I don't have, and I'm NOT asking anyone to give me - just wondering if there's way within the scope of what I have available to me).

Nice to see the small size of this update. Less than 400mb. Usually I have to delete a bunch of stuff on my 16GB phone before I'm able to update OTA.

Which you can disable.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. NEW WALLPAPERS ARE FINALLY INCLUDED IN THIS ONE. SUPER STOKED.

Score.

edit:
Damn alot of these wallpapers are pretty dark. Seems as though they purged quite a number of the original ones as well.

I find it funny that they wallpaper that was the default for the iOS 9 presentation is no longer available. Which is good cause I thought it was TOO bright. Made glancing at the time a bit difficult.

My update was between 400-500MB

I really like the new wallpapers, but now I'm busy searching Bing to find an archive of the ones I liked that got taken away. I've attached the images 9to5Mac shared below in case anyone is curious.

No point with this release. With Developer Beta 4 there was no public beta update until 24 hours later. So people used this trick to get the updated version when it wasn't clear when the next public beta would be.

Hopefully this fixes the heat issues I've been seeing in the last beta, on my 6 Plus.

I never update via OTA anymore. Always via iTunes. Not experienced most of the issues others have with Betas, so sticking with it

only 290 mb on the new ipod touch 6g! good to see app thinning in the works!

Does anyone have the image of the original wallpaper from WWDC that got removed?
