Let’s do it!

 

[heiskanenej]

When a family member, child, requests to buy an app there is no way to say ok on the notification on the parents phone.

Didn’t work on beta 2. How about now?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Thank you so much! @Banglazed let’s get to it!!

 

[pnoyblazed]

OTA not showing up yet

 

[uandme72]

OTA not showing up yet

will take time.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Hopefully, the Stuttering issue has been fixed. Praying to Apple Beta Gods. 🤲

 

[Banglazed]

IPSW is up

 

[Cinimod1000]

Okay then.
Looks like (initially) the stutter is gone from scrolling......just scrolling through MR home page in Safari, and it looks like buttery smooth is back. Yea!!!
Edit: IP14PM

 

[Sal09]

Its been 30 mins and no one has reported a stutter so far. I take it we have a lift off.

 

[COBRASVT]

Hoping it's smooth so I can finally jump on without the s s s stuttering. 🙂

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW is up

That was quick!

Thanks buddy 👍🏼

 

[Pearsey]

Most anticipated beta for me. Cannot wait to get this on. My brand new ip 14 will feel new again 🥳

 

[Ludatyk]

Yeah, since Apple pulled Stage Manager from the beta previously… I’ve now been cautiously waiting to see any changes before installing it.

 

[sorgo †]

Yay!!! 🙀 Beta 2 has been great for me, bring on beta 3!

 

[uandme72]

5G not available on iPadPro.

 

[Simacca]

Hope this fixes the fast battery drain on my 13 pro. As well as the stuttering of course.

 

[2Xtreme21]

New modem firmware and carrier version. Don’t see much else different at first glance though. I’m on a 12 mini so never had any stuttering with Beta 2.

 

[OhMyMy]

Modem firmware on 13:: 2.12.02->2.21.0

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

The dropped frame at the end of inertial scrolling is fixed.

 

[bbs008]

Always on display now lets you turn off wallpaper or notifications or both!

 

[Lk52461]

[atiffarooq]

Amazing. Roll on the public beta please Apple

 

[Mountaindla]

[COBRASVT]
