Apple Seeds Second Beta of iOS 12.1 to Developers With Group FaceTime, eSIM Support, Real-Time Depth Control and New Emoji [Update: Public Beta Availa

If I get my iPhone XS Max after eSIM goes live and is supported by AT&T, would my phone ship using eSIM or with a traditional sim?

I'd prefer eSIM, that way when I travel I can just pop in a local SIM card for data.

Same question I have. I can't wait for this feature. Will be great for traveling. I hate having to switch SIMs.

Both. eSim for your carrier (if supported) and use a local SIM card in whatever country you’re in.

And then there are people who think that changing sims is more convenient, even after I explain to them eSim would be so much easier.

Example:
You travel to some country in Asia, you look on the internet for a provider, you can register right away, as soon as you arrive in the country your Phone will work, it can't be more convenient.

Does anyone know how I can my Bluetooth little indicator back, next to me battery indicator. Buggered if I know why it was taken away from me
 
Can't say I care for the new facetime UI that much. Plus its been buggier recently with a new feature..no red button to hangup the call (it stays green). Can't swish it away. Either the other person hangs up or you power off the phone.

I started testing this morning at home and at work. On 12 I wasn't able to connect to the 5GHz band at home or at work, but that seems to be resolved after updating to 12.1. I can connect to that frequency in both locations now, and I haven't observed any issues while connected yet. I'm on Verizon, and had not observed the LTE issues others were reporting so I can't speak from experience on that.

I can also now with 12.1 beta 2 get 5GHz automatic connection on my eero system, whereas it was 2.4GHz on the beta 1. However, speeds are still not full throttle as before. It’s still slower than iPhone 7&8, laptops etc. So right connection, half speeds.

My 9.7" iPad pro received the 2nd update, but not my XS Max. On the Max, I am running build (16B5059d), and it refuses to see any new update. Is there a way for me download it manually?
 
aka The Version they should have gone live with as iOS 12.0 but didn't because they're a huge org that moves slower and slower year after year.
 
Still doesnt fix the screen freeze issue I started having with 12.0.... occasionally, buttons wont work when I tap on them and I cant scroll webpages.... happens on two iPads.

Same here! It says I have the latest version but I am on the old build. Any ideas?
