Release Notes

 

[GCHASE1995]

472 MB on my iPhone SE. Will update carrier version once done

 

[Prabas]

Does it really matter which carrier version is in this or any other build?

Sure, why wouldn't it? Carrier version updates mean changes to how the phone communicates with your carrier. Can influence features, radio behavior, etc.

 

[solodogg]

420.6MB on 5s, will update build/carrier/modem when update is done. Preparing now

 

[campyguy]

Any chance we can get the subject word "enhancements" spelled properly next time, so much easier to find in a web search that way…

 

[atlchamp]

Animations seem faster on 7 or is it just me. They open and close smoother/faster

 

[MrGimper]

My 7 plus model A1784 modem firmware is 1.03.21

 

[0014]

Vodafone UK carrier version is 28.0

Also my 7 Plus intel modem is 1.03.21.

same ol, same ol, i wish we got some surprises between betas, but nothing interesting as usual

 

[GrievingFob606]

This thread is messy once again. Beta 4 thread was beautiful.

message?safari?email?setting???multitasking?

No, just folder.

I agree. Only the first 2-3 betas are exciting. I still haven't even jumped on to the beta train yet. I don't think I can't downgrade and preserve my information as is. (Option+Update). Yes I can create an archived backup but if I wait 2-3 days I lose my Apple Watch activity. But I haven't found anything that exciting for a X.3 update.

Yes

 

[WaruiKoohii]

If we got new features in every build then it'd never be released since they'd always be chasing bugs.

The way Betas work is:
Add new features
Fix the problems
Release

same ol, same ol, i wish we got some surprises between betas, but nothing interesting as usual

Which is what's expected and really even desired from later betas.

 

[0014]

This beta has turned my 7 Plus into a '8 Plus Edition', doubled the storage and memory and tripled the battery life.

Who'd have thought it......

Things get released on almost any weekday (although less so on Fridays). They've even come out over the weekend before too.

I just posted the release notes in the wikipost.

Yeah I guess I'm just so used to seeing them on Monday

I dont see any difference in this as compared with the beta 4 release notes.
