Apple Seeds Seventh Beta of iOS 10.2 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[d5aqoëp]

Since Christmas holidays are around the corner, Apple wants to get this done with quickly.

Step 1: Change code
Step 2: Compile
Step 3: Was compile successful
Yes/(Release as Beta), No/Go to Step 1.

There's a step 4: regression testing

I bet it's nice being a writer for MacRumors...
Just copy and paste previous articles and change the first line or two.

lol..that's what I was thinking too!!

No this can't be a GM consideration. Basic things like podcasts are not working properly.

 

[AhRiHmAn]

I see some changes in Apple Music , the stars are there (I didn't see them in beta 6) and , a it's easier to see the "lyrics" in a song)

No. Apple internally is always 2-3 builds ahead of us. Sometimes they release them, sometimes they don't. Maybe they felt they should release them this time around. I guarantee you that other iOS version have up to 10 betas, they just aren't released to developers.

Trust me, I know this. Apple is normally much more organized with this though, for example, planning one major bug release to public and developers. My point still stands as valid. We don't know why they've done this but it's getting ridiculous.

I strongly suspect buggy TV app is the culprit. I filed a bug report few days ago and received a reply the next day.

Probably so.

I'm so pissed I stayed on the Beta for 10.2. It's been nothing but a buggy disaster for me while I felt like 10.1 beta was super stable. As soon as they release it, I'm deleting my beta profile.

 

[slimothy]

Better to release things with more issues? Talk about simple-minded.

And yet you're still not understanding. Not surprised. Better to release things with less issues. If they did this, there would have been 1 release this week, buddy. Do you not understand that? Lol

 

[Zirel]

Is this a f***ing joke?

No my dear, this is Apple, you can even get sick of receiving so much betas if you desire so.

This is not your old operating system, where only 0.4% active users have the latest version.

Drooling face emoji couldn't get here soon enough.

Probably so.

No one is forcing you to install these betas. Its not ridiculous. I have zero problems taking 10 minutes to install a beta update.

Apple has had 729* betas for their various operating systems this year.
That's a lot of minutes.



*Slightly exaggerated for comic effect.

And I have zero issues with that. More the better.

 

[nekonokami]

Two updates in a day ...

Still better than no updates at all like the huge majority of Android phones.

With all the emojis that are currently there, I have yet to use any that is worth while. Just the old smiley face and maybe 2-3 others. I tend to use bitmoji more. But When I'm in hurry to send a quick text, I don't spend time emojing or fancying up my text. Speed and time to get things done outweigh these emoji non sense.

You're the joke. Don't be a beta tester if you don't want to see constant updates.

 

[Mamedoff]

People are getting annoyed by the beta updates. Man... Nobody forced you to install in first place.

 

[slimothy]

Not sure what you mean by this.

Really...? On a 7th beta..?
TBH, this should work, even pre-GM by now.

I haven't been installing any of these. I only beta test the main releases (e.g. 8, 9, 10, etc). This is a forum, where I am voicing my opinion on Apple's shoddy practices lately. This is one of them.

Clearly you are. I'm not installing any of these and haven't been. Never said I did, either. So calm down and stay in your lane, kiddo.

If you don't want updates, may I suggest taking your talents to Android. It really is amazing how great their software is. So good in fact, that the exact version OS that comes preinstalled on your device will never change the entire time you own it! You won't have to worry about those pesky updates anymore.

 

[lunarworks]

Quite the pace these betas are coming at.

This. People don't understand. Why did he sign up then?!? There are some really thick people on this planet.

So you are voicing your opinion about matters you don't even know because you aren't involved.

from my pov as more and more people are using public betas apple is more concern about releasing updates for beta software. it also help to test fixes as per each new beta out they are getting some data about usage and issues
