Que up the build number, downloading now and I don’t see it yet posts

 

Yay first? But really anything new in this?

Awe not first, but still... anything new or is this just a bug fix update?

"It's not clear what new features, if any, will be included in the iOS 11.2.5 beta. We didn't discover any noticeable outward-facing changes in the first iOS 11.2.5 beta, so it's possible this update focuses mainly on bug fixes and security improvements."

 

You actually read the article?

 

There must be a valid reason- I'm uncertain as to what it is- why the public beta doesn't come out the same time as the developers beta. Anyone venture a guess?

 

IOS 12 or bust by 2018.

 

Because developers are not as picky about bugs in a beta as public testers
And it gives Apple a large less picky group to check test a beta first

 

Usually in case something rather bad pops up for many, that way the impact would be limited to what are typically mostly (or should mostly be) developer devices rather than many more end-user devices.

 

lol based on comment count in here, looks like people have enough and don't want to play lab rats anymore.
The negative headlines lately was simply too much.

 

I suspect that people are expecting Messages in the cloud when 11.3 is released. But the feature isn't ready to launch yet so they are toying with weird versioning skips in order to avoid delaying security and bug fixes.

 

Just download and install the developer beta profile. It is widely available (google it).

 

More discussion in the iOS 11 forum as well. This is just a bug fix update beta, so just not as much "excitement" about it, but plenty of people are still on betas. (Not to mention that this seems like just the developer beta that's only been out for a little over an hour, and the public beta update hasn't came out yet.)

 

What?

 

AirPods settings gone for me, they were usually found in the “about” section in iPhone

Edit: rebooted and it’s back

 

lol.... I read the article, but I'm always curious if little things have been found along the way.

 

LOL so true

Betas actually feel saver when it comes to Apple these days. The final releases always seem to f something up. Sadly

 

Still no public beta?

 

Bug fixes are welcome. The last beta broke my sylvania smart bulb connection.

No big deal but for every person that doesn’t care about bug fixes there is another person who does.

 

I've become a firm believer that the only safe time to download an iOS update (or buy a new iPhone for that matter) is in early August. That will ensure you get a relatively stable .3.5 install. .0 thru .2 iOS updates are for the birds.

 

it’s Beta 1!
