Yay, new build!!!

I was hoping it would be. But after the disappointment that was the iPad Pro this morning, I figured they would throw another climber in for good measure.

 

[Pearsey]

Top man @Banglazed thank you!

 

[papbot]

BATTERY? Battery???? Pls. how long does the battery last?


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[redbeard331]

Please tell me they got rid of the atrocious nasty disgusting vomit inducing ring around the island!

 

[OhMyMy]

BATTERY? Battery???? Pls. how long does the battery last?

These battery posts are really getting out of control.
If it’s a joke, it’s been played to death.
If it’s a serious question, then give it at least 24 hrs before you even think about asking one.

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW is now out!

 

[Domadia_Jasmine]

BATTERY? Battery???? Pls. how long does the battery last?

[Nadeem_Guroo]

What exactly is your issue? I’ve been having weird volume control issues where they stop working altogether while playing games, and at various times for no reason. This has been the buggiest iOS version for me by far.

 

[gwang73]

IPSW now available.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

 

[thatJohann]

Still seeing it on my 14PM.

I don't see the dynamic island outline on my 14 Pro. I tried dark mode and launching Apple Maps and no blue outline

 

[redbeard331]

The dynamic island outline is GONE, amen!

Do not do this unless true, my heart can’t handle it.
