[d123]

Not showing OTA yet.

iPhone or iPad.

 

[Mlrollin91]

Version i?? I have never seen that before.

Jeeze, 9 revisions.

 

[atlchamp]

Jeeze, 9 revisions.

I feel like we never even saw that on buggy iOS 11 haha

 

[Donga120]

Might wait...

 

[TL24]

No OTA here either.

 

[xpiogus]

New emojis!!

 

[simplynando]

OTA usually takes around 15 minutes before devices can see them.
The developer portal doesn't even show Release Notes...?

 

[TL24]

Got it, 308mb for my XS.

 

[simplynando]

I always get this annoying problem. I’m clearly connected to WiFi but the software update doesn’t recognize that. It’ll give me that message for 5-10 minutes. Incredibly annoying.

 

[mkrizan4]

332,6 mb on iP X

 

[Natya Sadella]

Please god, a non-washed out homescreen and no lags on my xs please god please

 

[macintoshmac]

I think we have seen an i revision before. Also, don't think it matters as much as is made out to be. Enjoy the betas folks!

 

[mujtaba.mir]

Can see it now. Close to 350MB on my iPad.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter a whole lot. It'd only matter if Apple compiled nine revisions of the build, then released the buggiest of the bunch ;p

 

[chinanderm]

386MB on Xs Max

 

[furbzv1]

Still can’t see OTA

 

[chinanderm]

Still can’t see OTA

I had to reinstall the profile.

 

[WaruiKoohii]

Still can’t see OTA

Reboot. No need to reinstall the profile. All you need is a little patience

 

[cruppga]

OTA here in Atlanta on 8 plus

Washed out homescreen? Are you suggesting that Apple reverted to how wallpapers were before iOS 12, or that 12.1 b1 is how wallpapers are now, brightened and with contrast blown out? (I had skipped the first beta as everyone reported poor battery life.)

 

[Natya Sadella]

Hell nah still both.

I think in beta 2 or 3 of ios 12, they added that washed out effect.

 

[BriceApp]

Updated wiki, iPhone Xs Max modem firmware updated to 1.01.20-1

 

[macintoshmac]

Animations on the 8 feel a shade faster. Will need to see over some days where we are at with it.
