Update bricked my iPhone. Just did a regular update OTA to it and it's been stuck at a spinning wheel for 20 minutes.

Update: Force Rebooted the Phone and it booted back to the old version, retrying.

Well, after hitting the “install now” button on me XS max, I now fell kinda numb to say the least :)

Well.. it actually JUST finished booting.. everything OK on XS max for me
 
Omg another one I can't ever remember a IOS that has had this many updates in such short a time little Timmy needs to quit playing politics and pay attention to quality iOS releases I'm thankful for the updates don't get me wrong but this is becoming a new release every week.

Make this short for you

This a Beta update, not the full update for the general public, please get off this kick of complaining about updates being pushed out quick as they are.

How about we get this functionality for car bluetooth? I used to press a button in my car and ask Siri to read my messages but because I use Face ID and have message preview to unlock only, I am told I’ll need to unlock my iPhone... surely not that hard to enable this functionality whilst connected to car Bluetooth...

You have that functionality...

Check your Siri settings... "Allow Siri when locked"

I do this all day long... "Open Garage door", "Add to grocery list" and so on...

So no.. it is not hard to enable that functionality ;)
 
still not having fun with the force touch being removed and the stupid scroll thing in safari talk about almost completely ruining the experience. Apple are you reading this?

Nope.. they are not reading it... submit beta feedback.

Good thing this is a non-production phone and not something you rely on daily

No October event, just software updates on the pipeline and a store update for the mac-pro. That 's all.
 
The last update cause the voice direction on maps on Carplay to go mute. I have checked all settings and they have not changed , rebooted phone, removed the car from Carplay, re-added, still no voice. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Anyone have any feedback on whether the Mail deletion issues have been resolved. Waiting to get near WiFi to DL the update however don't want to waste my time if this issue, which is the main one I'm having thus far, still has no resolve.

These are developer and public beta releases. It's normal for them to be released on a fast pace. It has nothing to do with releases being "buggy" (even if they are).

In other words, they are not "reacting" to bug reports quickly, but "proactively" releasing the next batch of changes into the wild. Big difference. Only a small portion of updates are reactive (ie. serious bugs reported in the media). The rest are just normal, scheduled releases.

Old way:
1. Test the heck out of alpha versions with internal testers, resolve all identified bugs
2. Release beta 1, receive feedback on bugs they missed
3. Release beta 2, bugs confirmed fixed by those who reported it
4. Release GM, no major bugs found
5. Send disks to factory, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to replicate
6. Ship disks

New "agile" way:
1. Fire entire QA department
2. While date < ship date of new hardware
Post version on beta channel
3. Move beta version to release channel
4. Goto 2

Yes, a lot of people think that development is "linear" (A, then B, then C), and that these updates are in response to bugs being reported. But instead modern development happens in several "branches", in parallel. Some developers will be working on one bug fix, other developers working on a new feature, etc. When a branch is considered "stable", then it gets merged into the "master" branch and released to users.

For many of the bugs that people report, it's likely that Apple is already aware of them, and deemed them "acceptable" to release. Rarely do they mess this up.

The skunk emoji is very timely with Catalina and both 13.x iOS and iPadOS releases.

Does anyone know why the announce feature only works with AirPods 2 or Beats? It would be nice to use announce just with the phone or iPad.

To be clear... you want it to read your text messages out loud on your phone to you upon arrival?
