iOS 12 Beta 8 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[WaruiKoohii]

Curious... why do a lot of people post the update size for their device? What benefit does that provide?

The OTA is a delta update. It only contains the changes from the build you're on. The bigger the download, the more changes it contains and the more significant the build.

This is a pretty significant build.

Understood. But do we need 30+ people posting about it? It should go in the Wiki.

Yes it should go in the wiki but good luck getting people to do things that make sense.

Hey, Dan! B8 is looking really good so far.

Agreed. This has always irritated me.

Preparing Update is taking forever on my X.

Just to see how different the code is for different devices.

how did you do it? i tried on Monday and could not continue downloading on LTE

I started the download on WiFi and had to leave the house so when I switched to cellular it just kept going.

The changelog looks pretty similar, if not identical, to DB7

Yeah i tried the same thing and it did not work for me

Use pdf compare to compare them

Yup! The only difference is it fixes the app launch issue in the last beta

191.9mb iPhone 7 plus, previous beta (7) was great for my 7+, super fast and smooth, and great battery.

I was hoping it fixed the respring after hanging up on a call ... but app launch issue is a start

 

[furbzv1]

im sure the only change was to fix the lag in app launch

 

[dan9700]

I wonder if it should of just been a 7 version 2 update

It's different size per device

Seems kind of irrelevant, to be honest.

I will let other people be the guinea pig. Lol! Beta 6 works great and glad I didn’t update to 7.

Also not showing up OTA.

I was the guinea pig for beta 7, but frankly, somehow, on my iPhone 8 it worked flawlessly and was a slight cut above the beta 6 in terms of fluidity. Let's see what this beta 8 brings!

HAs it fixed both- restring and launch issue?

 

[Donga120]

What I don’t understand is. Apple knew there was a fault, so why did some get affected and some didn’t, there must be a reasoning behind it

Don't know yet .. still DLing..

We pray buddy; if the beta works great, you will save your time rummaging through these forums for possible solutions.
