Is anyone else contemplating waiting til their 14 arrives so as to make the initial restore smoother?
Got a tip for us?

Wasn't it a couple of years ago that the beta wasn't available for the new phones yet so those receiving it on launch day could not set the backup back to the new phone? Anyway, since then I hold off installing the beta till I get the new phone.
According to your signature you are already fully kitted out…. iPhone 14 Pro Max, Watch Series 8 45mm, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone SE, iPad Mini 4, Watch Series 6 44mm, ATV 4K 2021, MacBook Pro 15" (Retina, 2016), Beats Solo 3, AirPods 2, ARRIS AX11000 Tri-Mesh, •T•••Mobile
Idk why it would make a difference, I find updating new device without restoring backup (connecting to wi-fi and setting up as simplistically as possible), wiping, and then restoring backup (a backup of a device, optimally, also on latest beta) to be sufficient whenever I get a new device. No iTunes required for me; I always go over-the-air without so much as a hitch
but your mileage may vary.This update is just not available to me on my iPad. I've been on the beta profile for a month. I'm on the previous iPadOS 16.1 beta. I've rebooted twice now. It still says I'm up to date.
I've never seen this happen before. Anyone else?

if I got a new phone on friday...
id set up as a new phone quick, down load the profile, install the 16.1 beta, then do a tethered restore from my Mac using an encrypted back up id made for 16.1 (iOS 16 encrypted back up in Archive)
or on Mac, download 16.1 IPSW file, hold alt and click restore, select 16.1 IPSW and then it will prompt you after for your encrypted back up you've made earlier.
or is that a around the houses kinda way?
or yeah you can do that phone transfer thing between two phones but they both need to be on 16.

It showed up on my iPad right away, strangely, but my iPhone was acting in the way you describe. Giving an “Up to Date” even with the profile installed. It sorted itself after closing Settings and then re-opening and checking again. No restarts required.
sometimes things can be slow depending in what country you reside. give it a few minutes or...
... Delete your dev profile and reinstall it, can help fix this.
camera orientation in facetime now works correctly instead of being tilted on the side in iPadOS
Battery percentage now available on 13 Mini. There is also a toggle for "Clean Energy Charging".
In the last iPadOS beta, I could get Stage Manager to crash easily just by enabling it, hiding the current apps area on the left, and then moving my mouse to the left side of the screen. I reported it, but it said there were no other similar reports in the Feedback app.
I'll be waiting and restoring the new iPhone to the beta once I get it and then set it up
I guess it doesn’t matter, right? Because you’re not downgrading. But there is no modem update so what’s the point.
It’s not installed yet for me. You better not be playing…
Thankfully not 😂 It was actually the first thing I looked for 😂It’s not installed yet for me. You better not be playing…
I wasn't overly bothered by it being left out before, but it is nice to have the option there now.
Yes that was for the X. Thinking about it passwords are saved now in Settings so that was the only thing I never wanted to lose. But I’ll still probably wait.
