New battery icon but still outdated! OMG, what is happening with Apple's design team. They sometime nail it perfectly, and sometimes are completely missing it.
Got a tip for us?

Oh that’s a shame. At least we’ve got the new battery icon. Thanks anyway
So 3 times the 4GB option failed on me, so now trying the 12GB option. It's just the full installer instead. This is on 2018 Mac mini. It would act like it's installing the update to beta 3 but then it would still be beta 2 when it loaded and would ask me to download the beta 3 update again. 3 times in a row...
It's changed!

I’ve tried that one as well. It loads in Safari but it looks like it doesn’t do anything.
FYI I just posted a brief how-to for converting chrome extensions in the macOS 11 forum.
Full installer did not work either, same issue with Mac mini... Just went back into beta 2 and telling me to update to beta 3 again...
Now trying the method from the release notes...
- Your Mac might restart but isn't updated to a newer version of macOS Big Sur 11 Beta. (65298753)
Workaround: Create a bootable installer using the createinstallmedia command.
Just hold command + r boot into recovery mode and do a fresh install.

It looks as though the symbol is too large and then cropped at the top and bottom because of its size. This might be an error.
Testing it out for work to finally be ahead of the curve on the next major OS release. Liking it so far, and havent run in to TOO many issues with our software.
It's already in the release notes...

if you are beta 2, please click more info to download small size beta version. thanks.
I tried bootable installer using the createinstallmedia command before but for some reason, It never worked for me because of t2 chip. I always get an error saying need to update and installer stops.
I phoned Apple support team, They tried to help me but couldn't do much and in the end, I had to install Mojave and updated to Catalina.
CMD+R - go into recovery and then go to utilities and security startup disk. Enable boot from removable media. Then restart and hold the Option (Alt) key and choose the bottle USB disk...
BTW it worked perfectly and I now have Beta 3 installed...
You need to lower your security settings in macOS recovery to allow for booting of external media, FYI.
Oh, well... will have to wait for Parallels update I guess.

Or you could have used startosinstall instead.
