Thank you so much! Off we go 🏁 @Banglazed

Build #: 20D5024e

 

[d5aqoëp]

Hoping for India 5G enablement for iPadOS.

 

[Nadeem_Guroo]

can someone confirm if the volume control during calls has been fixed for 12 and 13 series iphones with the beta 3

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Sheeeesh! It’s massive. 🔥 🔥 🔥

 

[Donga120]

IPSW available

 

[michaelscott91]

Bless all you brave souls updating to a beta 1 release so close to the holidays. Most likely won’t have a beta 2 update until the 2nd week of January 😬

 

[OhMyMy]

Beta 2 is three weeks away.

You’ve been warned!

 

[Hansana]

Idk whether I want to be on the beta during the holiday period 🫤

 

[GoldenChild]

Hopefully this fixes the bad battery drain I’ve had on 16.2 on my 14PM. I was only getting 6 hours SOT.

 

[uandme72]

What new features or bug fixes expected ?

 

[atiffarooq]

To all those who install beta 1 today, I commend your bravery! I’ll wait for a few days until we see what issues you report before committing myself

 

[uandme72]

Hoping for India 5G enablement for iPadOS.

Did you get it ?

 

[Trezona]

Will downgrading not be possible?

 

[Mikepeer]

Hopefully this fixes the bad battery drain I’ve had on 16.2 on my 14PM. I was only getting 6 hours SOT.

Tbh I doubt... I really hope it does, but I've been having issues with the battery since the release day, so I doubt it's a (purely) software issue at this point.

Yeah I used to get 10-11 hours on my 13PM and get half that now on my 14PM. Sucks

 

[Pearsey]

Of course it won’t. It’s a beta 1!!! 😆

 

[GoldenChild]

Of course it won’t. It’s a beta 1!!! 😆

I had good battery on 16.2 beta 4 lol it went downhill after even on public release

 

[d5aqoëp]

Did you get it ?

Downloading at 10 Mbps on 1Gbps wifi connection!

 

[Banglazed]

• iPhone 14 Pro/Max: 1.22.02 > 1.40.00

Downloading at 10 Mbps on 1Gbps wifi connection!

What's the speed of the Wifi from your device to the router? That's your bottleneck.

BL.

Beta 2 is three weeks away.

[Mikepeer]

New?!

 

[nortonandreev]

Of course it won’t. It’s a beta 1!!! 😆

It is, on the other hand, these releases (the one that gets in Beta in December) have historically focused on bug fixes and performance improvements, rather than implementing new features. So it's not impossible.
