Really? No problems with battery life etc.?

Thats what I thought.... my iPhone 8 couldn't get past 4-5 hours on one charge.

please dear god I hope the bookmarks/reading list pane is fixed in iPadOS. I hate the new pane in the beta

Do I sign up for the beta now or just wait a week…hmm.

Installing the 15 updates (through Public Betas) on my M1 iPad Pro, 12 Pro Max and Watch 5. The iPad is taking forever to download, where the iPhone ripped through the download. The iPad seems to be stuck on 2 hours estimated for the download. Hopefully this is just a high traffic related delay.

I figured since I’m not buying anything new, nor really interested in any of the new devices, that I would jump on the RC update. I’ve done this previously and have had zero issues.

 

[mookc1]

Never had the download take this long. Yikes.

 

[Kar98]

I always forget, what's the process to transition from beta back to public once the full release is out? Can I download the release candidate, then remove the beta profile? Will I then get the next public release? Thanks

At this point, why not just wait a week for the actual release?

 

[cmatuk]

Not to spoil but, no new wallpapers. Maybe till the public release?

 

[wwinter86]

Also HomePod update too

 

[Kissmo1980]

No new wallpapers…. How disappointing

 

[Sciomar]

Also HomePod update too

I have shut off all auto updates for the HomePods after people reported overheating issues, didn't want to lose my OG's.

I’ll wait a week, devs can update their apps in the meantime.

No new wallpapers…. How disappointing

And no new Memojis ☹️ 😂😂😂

Stuck on preparing update for awhile now...



Toggling airplane mode off/on seem to restart install.

iOS 15.0 beta 8 (19A5340a) ----> now is 15.0 (19A344)
watchOS 8.0 beta 8 (19R5342a) ----> now is 8.0 (19R346)

So the Public Beta build numbers are the same as the Developer Releases?

 

[jmgregory1]

Woohoo, I’m down to 1 hour remaining on my M1 iPad Pro update. My iPhone 12PM was super fast updating and the Watch (series 5) is slowly but surely updating (almost done preparing), which is normal. I guess I’ll get some time to play around with iPadOS 15 later tonight, assuming it actually finishes downloading today.

Appears that way, I'm definitely not in developer beta.

 

[GaryMumford]

Looks like mines gonna be a while…

 

[Vespi]

Yep, but the update size is usually tends to be lower with each update hinting at more polished version towards the final

It always download whole ios when switching from stable to beta and from beta to stable, and because this is RC it counts as a stable non beta release and therefore it downloads whole iOS and not just the files that have changed

iPhone 11 Pro update went great.

iPad Pro 3rd gen has now entered an unrecoverable loop after completing the upgrade.
This was an upgrade from iPadOS 14.8.
I know it’s an RC but hopefully this won’t be the final build!

UPDATE:
Did a DFU restore using IPSW and then restore from backup. Same issue.
Ended up having to set up as new.
