Ugh, just peel out the face mask unlock with watch feature and release that separately. Should've been out a year ago anyway.
Yeah, I wish that could be released separately. I bought an Apple Watch a month ago thinking we would have the unlock feature by now, and I don't want to run beta. I do love the Watch in general, though, no regrets getting it when I did.

I do want XBox Series X controller support, and the privacy features, but those can wait.
 
I've been running the public beta for about a month and it's very stable - and the mask unlock via apple watch works pretty well and is huge help if you have a long unlock password like I do.
 
I appreciate Apple’s commitment to quality (I can already hear the trolls getting ready to attack me for that), but this release seems a lot more drawn out than usual.

Okay folks, what do we want? Another beta followed by a stable release, or a quicker release followed by a tsunami of complaints on this forum WhY ApPlE dInD'T tEsT tHiS fUrtHeR bEfoRe RelEaSinG iT
So why you download beta release.are you a beta tester. If not wait for stable release.

I bet others are correct - there is a product announcement that will coincide with the release?
 
Have to install it to get the space back on my phone - I know about the new beta release by the space warning before the software update notification appears.
I have download switched off, but something still runs in the background that takes space...

The Music app in CarPlay is still a mess. When I connect, whatever I was playing gets cleared and some new random playlist of music plays instead.
 
Yes. I’m getting real tired of having to wait for major releases to get certain features and bug fixes. Mask unlock should’ve been a day one priority for iOS 14 launch in sept. And FFS just release app updates in the App Store.
FWIW, Mask Unlock was not ready for public use until maybe beta 2 or 3. At least for me. Even now, it’s not as solid as I’d like it to be.
