[VIP Tom]

Build number confirmed

 

[TheNukie]

17A5572a

 

[Bobout]

Thank you @Banglazed .. We appreciate the work you put in to these threads

 

[VIP Tom]

Wow.. an ‘a’ build number. Getting closer to GM!

 

[MarcusCarpenter]

It’s an a build

What does this mean?

 

[Banglazed]

OTA live 130.2 MB for Max

 

[Blue Hawk]

In 3 hours public beta I think. Like last week.

 

[0014]

OTA is out now too. 130mb on XSM.

 

[Yun0]

What does this mean?

Nothing, people always go ape over build numbers thinking it means good this and bad that etc..

 

[TheSkywalker77]

103.9 MB on 7 plus. Will install once I get home.

Wow.. an ‘a’ build number. Getting closer to GM!

An a build can also mean that QA slacked and has 50 showstoppers missed. There are times where that t build is more stable than the a build cause QA probably looks very close when a build continuously fails.

It's not nothing. I may mean pretty little, but whatever they fixed, it only took one time to pass QA. I believe that's correct, and someone correct me if I'm wrong. And it being 5572a, it's 7 builds ahead of the last one. (5565b)

Hence the name "beta 8" over 7, that means far more than build numbers a through z.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

Here's hoping that they put the dumpster fire that is Mail out, and returned the folder icons to the color ones we had in beta 6.

Just because a beta is newer doesn’t mean it necessarily better lol...I think anyone here who has actually used a beta can attest to that. And that’s for letters and beta release numbers, but typically, earlier in the alphabet is better.

When was the last time the final beta prior to release or GM wasn’t an a or b? This is a legit question, I honestly don’t know.

 

[AE14]

still waiting on ota ugh

 

[Bobout]

First thing I have noticed is my screen on my XS Max is way more sensitive to my touch.. Not complaining just trying to get use to it..

 

[0014]

Could be placebo. But FaceID seems noticeably faster within apps that use it.

 

[d123]

still waiting on ota ugh

try a restart, I needed to do so on my iPhone.

 

[cale508]

Maybe it's too early to tell, but mail seems to be better.

 

[krusnof]

Installed. The only issue I really had with B7 was the App Switcher Bar was always present in both Apple and 3rd party apps. It's still there... Quite annoying for any content towards the bottom and blocks a bit of the Screen Time overrides in the evening. Reported twice.

 

[Blue Hawk]

The release notes in the feedback app are useless
