I don’t get this new beta thing. No profile, no dev Account but still Dev. Beta 2 Shows up.

 

[Misos]

Have the stutter while gaming been fix?

 

[GoldenChild]

I don’t get this new beta thing. No profile, no dev Account but still Dev. Beta 2 Shows up.

Probably won’t take effect until iOS 17 beta

 

[ahmede]

Any 13 series Modem update ?

 

[drak22]

I'm in the same situation as you, but I'm not complaining, and I hope they let me install ios 17 hahaha

Yes 2.70.00

 

[dk001]

Did my 13 PM.
Wow that puppy got hot! Right around the volume buttons.

Will see how it does in a bit.

Interesting change: Lockscreen widgets now longer show as a blank preview (nay, they don’t show at all) until unlocked. Some may not like it but I’m a fan of this change personally.

I still see them when locked? perhaps a bug

 

[Banglazed]

• iPhone 14 Pro/Max: 1.70.00 > 1.70.01

Will try a restart and see if that changes anything. Otherwise could be a change for those of us who aren’t using Face ID (i.e. just a passcode)? I hope it stays—looks clean to my minimalist simpleton brain.

• iPhone 14 Pro/Max: 1.70.00 > 1.70.01

Nice step up for 13 series from 2.54.01 to 2.70.00 🙂

 

[sorgo †]

Did a full restart and it’s back now @ttam110

Did you update from beta 1 or a full install of Beta 2 ?
