Let the beta season begin!

Yup!

And with that, time for tons of bug spray 😅

It's not unusual for code and links to contain references to a different version than the one that's being marketed. For example, macOS Big Sur, version 11, was initially referred to as 10.16.

I missed the keynote is it not usually every 2 weeks or so

The gap between wwdc release and B2 is normally the biggest duration in the whole beta cycle. It’s never 2 weeks

2 weeks

Never 2 weeks.

There is usually also a longer gap between betas 3 and 4 in mid-July and early Augustus as more people are on vacation.

I mean the home bar bottom of the screen that’s on iPads and iPhones with FaceID

I do see it on Ios26 however I didnt see it in iPados unless I was in an app and even then it didn't stay long.

My first impressions: needs more glass. I like the glassy look and want to see it everywhere.

Photo app looks entirely different. I kinda like it. But already found a bug in it.

Are people not reporting how buggy it is yet because everybody's devices are bricked? Lol

Are we not gonna talk about Siri in iOS 26 changing from Apple Intelligence UI to the older version of Siri UI??

It’s interesting, but I hope they keep the current options as well. I just prefer the solid icons.

My iMac 2020, My iPad M4 and my iPhone 16 Pro Max all updated just fine and aren't bricked yet and I hope they don't become bricked. I am still working thou on my Watch Ultra which is preparing now. Are you saying people are reporting bricked devices??

Music doesn’t seem to have the Music translation
Awww shucks man!

macOS feels a bit too much for me, also quite sluggish. Let's see how it goes with the next betas.

 

[jeremz1ne]

All smooth so far only one little glitch i noticed but im sure it'll be worked out
