Why on earth would you think you need USB-C to install a beta image?

Because the new iPad Pro has USB-C. I’m in the same boat.

Remember: if you find a bug and it's repeatable, file a detailed bug report!

Interesting... the image must be installed using itunes... but itunes is going away... hmm.

Yes, I installed the Catalina beta then was trying to install iOS 13 and found out I needed iTunes, kinda disappointing

Reg isn’t needed. Use iMazing.

Mine won’t load the firmware. Any tips? What did you do?

So, finally downloaded and unzipped the Xcode beta, which is required in order to install iOS 13 beta.

Went to install the Xcode beta and...will not install because my laptop is still on 10.13, High Sierra. My laptop will not upgrade to 10.14 because it’s a 2011 MacBook Air.

I’m hoping that the final release version of iOS 13 is not going cut off anyone that may have a current iPhone but older macOS systems.

Anyone have any issues activating hotspot?
I can turn it on, but nothing can connect to it.
My daily driver MacBook Pro on Mojave can't see it at all.
My test MBP on Catalina shows it in the hotspot list, but says it's not in range or cannot connect.
WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB direct hotspot methods do not appear work.

Install Xcode the latest beta

Those changes might be important to you, but I would bet they aren’t to the majority of users.

The first one, I think everybody would agree, is much needed. The phone app needs to stop taking over the whole screen and interrupt what you’re doing when a call comes in. It’s terrible the way it is now.

Has anyone gotten the Siri AirPods reading messages feature to work or is that not in the beta yet?

Works great for me

Works great for me

Really? Did you have to set anything up or did it just work as soon as you put your AirPods on? Also do you have AirPods 1 or 2?

I have AirPods 2, and it just worked after the update without needing to do anything. It's actually a really nice feature.
If you haven't already, maybe it's worth unpairing and re-pairing your AirPods?

Ok, I would agree with that as well.
