Apple's regression test pack for an iOS device must be humungous! The permutations of actions for testing are tremendous. At that's not even including SDK/API testing for Aps. I think people just don't really get that. It's not just about testing 'new features'.
Got a tip for us?

Absolutely... especially if they take this opportunity to split the OS in two: phoneOS and padOS. At the very least, the hopeful improvements and features will warrant a thorough testing period.
But that is 2x the amount of devices OSX runs on. (For sake of argument I'll stipulate that the iPod touch isn't separate from the iPhone -- otherwise that would be 3 devices.)
Sure thing, the poster I was responding to didn't ask if it was a record for a .x release just betas in general.
is this the one with the new iBackdoor feature?
Go to settings > general > accessibility > speech > voices and make sure you're using an "enhanced" voice. My personal recommendation if you have the storage space for it is Alex - so clean and natural sounding.
Whenever I go to landscape mode and swipe down the spotlight screen (and back up), 3D Touch somehow becomes just as buttery smooth as portrait. Still, I hope they fix that eventually.
Which is my case and point. It may be fine for majority of users, but a few hundred may still have some other bug they're experiencing.
With all due respect, have you ever worked with code before?
By Apple opening up the Public Beta program just opened up millions more of "real-world" feedback for their software engineers.

Oh, my bad. I've been busy with life and missed that "bug".
That would be a very bad idea. I hope you're jesting. We'll likely see more iOS/OSX convergence though. And I'm pretty sure that MacBook Pro's will get multi-tough in the imminent future.
Because I would feel horrible if I didn't ask, do you have "Wi-Fi Assist" disabled? If not, you will definitely want to do that.

So probably not the last...

I am hoping the increased number of betas for 9.3 also have to do with what they are adding/changing for schools and MDMs. Their proposed changes seem pretty huge...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those voices are specifically for the voiceover and text-to-voice accessibility features, correct? I think that's separate from Siri itself.
The voiceover sounds fine; when I invoke Siri, it sounds like she did back on iOS 5.
Plugged in, WiFi... all of that's a go.
