Apple Seeds Third Betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS to Developers

Anyone else getting cellular connectivity problems? Specifically, after I’ve been on WiFi for a while and go back out of range, cellular data won’t work or even connect (menu bar shows only signal strength). Toggling the cell data switch doesn’t fix it, but toggling airplane mode (or restarting) does. XS Max on Verizon here.
Apple today seeded the third betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS to developers for testing purposes, two weeks after releasing the second betas and a month after unveiling the new operating system at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
Registered developers will need to download the profile for the iOS 13 and iPadOS betas from Apple's Developer Center. Beta 3, like Beta 2, can be downloaded over-the-air once the proper profile has been installed.
Apple split iOS 13 and iPadOS into separate updates in 2019, one designed for iPhone and one designed for iPad. iPadOS is identical to iOS 13 in almost every way, though there are some iPad-specific features such as new multitasking capabilities. For the most part, the two operating systems share the same features.
iOS 13 is a major update with a long list of new features. Perhaps the most noticeable outward-facing change is a new systemwide Dark Mode that changes the entire look of the operating system from light to dark, darkening everything from system elements to apps.
Apple overhauled the Photos app, introducing a new Photos tab that curates your entire Photos library and shows you a selection of highlights organized by day, month, or year, and there are revamped Photo editing tools.
For the first time, you can edit video right in the Photos app, cropping, rotating, applying filters, and adjusting lighting and color. There's a new High-Key Mono lighting effect, and for Portrait Lighting in general, intensity can be adjusted.
There's a less obtrusive volume HUD, a new Find My app that combines Find My iPhone and Find My Friends and lets you track your devices even with they don't have an LTE or WiFi connection.
A Sign In with Apple feature (not yet active) gives you a convenient and data safe way to sign into apps and websites, providing an alternative to Facebook and Google sign in options. Apple's even able to generate single-use randomized email addresses so you don't have to give your real info to apps and websites.
Maps has a new street-level "Look Around" mode and a Collections feature for making lists of places, Reminders has been entirely overhauled to make it more functional, there's a profile feature in Messages along with new Memoji and Animoji stickers, and Siri has a new voice.
CarPlay in iOS 13 has been overhauled with a new look, multiple sets of AirPods (or Powerbeats Pro) can be connected to the same phone so you can share music with a friend, Siri on HomePod can detect multiple voices for multi-user support, and HomePod also supports Handoff.
There are a ton of additional new features and changes coming in iOS 13, and for a full rundown of what you can expect, you should check out our iOS 13 roundup. For a list of what changed in beta 2, make sure to check out our what's new in beta 2 post. Not much changed, but some features that weren't previously working were activated. We'll also be adding beta 3 changes below once we've had a chance to install the new OS.
The beta testing period will allow Apple to work out bugs ahead of the release of iOS 13 and iPadOS, and it will let developers build iOS 13 and iPadOS features into their apps ahead of a public release coming this fall.
What's New in iPadOS
- Split View In iPadOS, Split View now shows which side of the display is actively receiving text input.
What's New in iOS 13
- FaceTime Attention Correction - In the Settings section of FaceTime, there's a new "FaceTime Attention Correction" option that changes the way your attention is focused on the iPhone during a call. The setting says that eye contact with the camera will be more accurate during FaceTime Video calls.
- Home app - In the Home app, there's a new popup that lets you know your cameras do not support secure recording, an iOS 13 feature, if you have HomeKit-connected cameras.
- Find My - There's a new "Me" tab in the Find My app that displays your current location.
- Apple Arcade - When opening the App Store and selecting the Arcade tab, there's a new video highlighting the upcoming Apple Arcade service.

OMG!!!! OMG!!! Dark mode is awesome. really looking forward to download this one.
Similar issue with an AT&T XS.
Airplane mode and back fixed it for me as well.
Already reported bug to Apple.
Anyone else having a problem closing out apps? Like a stuttering action? Gotta double swipe?
From beta 1 to beta 3, swipe to “quit” app is always a pain in the ass. Takes two to three retries sometimes. Swipe is even worse on iPad as I have to swipe literally up, not even slightly sideways. Frustrating. It looks as if Apple hates us to quit app.
I'm wondering if they'll release beta 4 in one week from now instead of two weeks like they have previously, especially since the 7 and 7 plus aren't supported.
Here, I got you someWhat a helpful comment

I'm aware.
I noticed the keyboard behaving weirdly and thought it might be because of the swipe feature. If that is indeed the correct setting to turn it off, I guess I'll wait for the next build to try.
(edit)
Yup, 17A5522f fixes it.
Have we seen anything that suggests why the 7 and 7+ were not supported, I don't think Ive even seen any speculation about it.
Not sure when this happened but the auto crop and straightening is now using AR to straighten all three dimensions. This was shockingly a single tap on the crop from this original

There's not much to speculate. It is almost guaranteed they ran into some showstopper bug that affected that hardware (perhaps the Intel modem it shipped with), and decided it wasn't worth holding up the build for it. So those models skip a beta release.
The 7 and 7 plus are supported by iOS 13, just not this specific beta build.
This ^^
It def is. It’s sickening

I haven’t experienced a problem with it up until now. The most problems I’ve dealt with up until beta 3 was 3rd party apps not working... kept getting kicked out.
I’m loving it. Takes a little to get used to, but it’s cracking. Just need shortcuts for commas.
Really? This is actually distorting the dimensions of the content. Interesting.
It’s already well known that this beta release hasn’t come out for the 7/7 Plus. It’s not an issue, just not released.
