Merci beaucoup @Banglazed

Always on the ball 👍

 

[falkirk81]

An 'A' build, is this likely to be the last build before the RC? Or is it the RC in disguise?!

 

[thatJohann]

That’s a lot of betas for a minor .X update.

 

[ahmede]

Any 13 series modem update ?

 

[gtmead09]

That’s a lot of betas for a minor .X update.

Not to mention the long drawn out time for those betas.

iPhone 13 modem firmware updated to 2.80.01 from 2.80.00

Fido carrier in Canada now 54.1, up from 54.0 (sorry can’t update main post cause haven’t posted enough yet)

 

[mcvaughan]

I'm showing a minor bump in modem firmware for 14/Pro: 1.80.02.

 

[Misos]

did they fix the stuttering when playing games?

 

[Banglazed]

Public beta is out

 

[Hans300]

Is this beta any good?

 

[doublep]

Working great for me on an iPhone 14 Pro Max !

 

[ahmede]

Working great on my 13 Pro

 

[sbailey4]

Is this beta any good?

Seems fine so far.

 

[George Knighton]

So far so good (13 Pro Max test vehicle).

 

[BaDOG]

Finally, the indicator of the microphone and camera was moved to a dynamic island. been waiting for this so long.

Is this beta any good?

On my 14PM, beta 6 is working perfectly so far. On beta 5, the overall experience was very good and I had my best battery life ever, probably 75-90 minutes per day more than the week I bought it last fall. Too soon to judge battery life on beta 6, but I’m pretty optimistic.

Most of you are more knowledgeable than me about iOS things, but FWIW I’m guessing that the RC is coming pretty soon and will be the stable version of iOS 16 everyone was hoping for last fall (and winter and spring!).

Are you for real?

 

[BaDOG]

Are you for real?

yes, before that it was displayed near battery

 

[iOSBry]

Beta 5; was to the right of the battery today while connected to CarPlay and chatting with Siri.

I think i was wrong, this indicator shows in the dynamic island only when the dynamic island is inactive🤔
