14 Pro Max here. Auto-brightness appears to be fixed.
Yeah, they complain about something that happened 3 days ago, but can’t replicate now, but I’ve got this OTHER problem now ….
I believe that’s how it was in previous betas too. I just tried it on the old beta 4, it doesn’t fade in when turning it on. Glad to know its fixed with the revised build.
Actually the betas may not fix it as it’s something in the settings that prevents it. The way to stop the Microphone bug is to ‘Reset All Settings’ via the settings app
The Public Beta update is typically released the day after the Dev Beta, once it is confirmed to be somewhat stable. As they just released a second version of Dev Beta 4 on Friday, there was probably something wrong with the release. Look for Public Beta 2 to be released on Monday the 29th or Tuesday the 30th.
There is a whole dedicated “not just me” 😉 kind of thing thread here:
Glad I'm not the only one. Google Maps acted very strange in Carplay since DB4. Hope this wil fix that.
That is not at all what this letter means. It means how many runs through QA a build had. You could argue that the higher the letter, the more bugs they found and fixed before release.
AccessibilityUIServer is accessing microphone all the time. It appears once I start tethering. When I restart the phone, it disappears but once I start using tethering, it stays even after I end tethering.
I have reset all settings now. Looks like it's worked. Thanks!
Doesn’t seem to fix CarPlay issues with Google maps or Waze unfortunately.
My feedback report states: potential fix identified - for a future OS update.
Also doesn’t fix the emoji picker not learning the recently used ones or the modem crashes causing loss of signal momentarily. I’m not sure how this can be a public beta with those glaring bugs tbh, but I bet it ends up being released as public beta 2.
Battery life on this beta and especially the watch remain horrid. Restored to a fresh device and same issue. Watch isn’t even worth wearing now as it does in 4 hours. Apple beta quality has gotten so bad now I’m about to just be done. Their engineers really are all over the place. The “stable” 17.5.1 lasted longer but new iPad pros reboot randomly still. Just don’t find the polish with Apple as we used to. Very disappointed in what Tim Cook allows to happen now from a standards perspective.
Any battery optimization won’t be seen until the final betas or maybe even the RC. No one should be expecting a beta to have ok battery life.
That is simply wrong.
The letter at the end of the build indicated the number of compiles, that one specific build went throu.
So at some point, one specific build is assigned as a „to be released“ beta version.
So the first compile of that specific build (let’s say 22A5316) is done —> a
Second compile of a specific build then would be —> b, and so on.
After each compile, there is some quality testing done and if those tests are not passed, another compile of that specific build has to be done.
So a higher „letter“ at the end actually only indicates one build went throu more quality checks for the milestone, they wanted to reach (beta 4 for example).
Oh no, you mean people have to work a weekend day, as if that's not the world we live in now.
I had some CarPlay issues with Waze where the touchscreen wasn't working. I hope this fixes that bug.
Nope
Same old story
Signal cuts out then restores itself
Well
At least it’s coming back up innit
I should be glad it’s not dead altogether 🤣😂😂🤣
