Interesting tidbit: iPadOS 16 beta 7 is 20B5027f, which indicates that it's based on iOS 16.1. A subtle acknowledgement confirming the October timeline.

Wow, that is interesting. Nice catch.

Does that mean stability on iPadOS is back at beta 1?

Only way to find out.

Oddly enough, on my phone, it showed up as just iOS 16.0 (without any beta terminology), so if I were a betting man, I'd say this is the version that's being loaded onto the new iPhones in production right now. That and it's also an "a" build. Obviously it says "beta" in the text description, but I think it would usually show "Beta 7" to the right of "16.0"?

So if you were a betting man I'd like to go all in against you. They'd been doing away with beta labels every now and then with iOS 16. It's weird!

 

[Pearsey]

Anyone seen these 😆😂

 

[SumYoungGai]

Beta labels weren't there for the past 1-2 betas

Lol, whoops, thanks for that. Guess I just didn't notice before. Maybe it show before you click install but doesn't show the beta label after it begins installing?

EDIT: I still think this is the version that's going onto iPhones in production though. If the event is 9/7 with phones ready for purchase on 9/16, they have to have the build locked down both internally and externally to developers by late August which we're now into.

Beat me to it.

 

[roncron]

Okay, tired of watching from the sidelines. Time to jump in...

Thanks to you all for putting up with and reporting all the bugs on the earlier betas. You are all heros, so cowards like me can enjoy a mostly stable late beta.

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW OUT!

Silky smooth on 13 mini so far. Feels ready to go.

Interesting, not sure I’ve seen this before. Must be for that critical security fix. Wonder if any other changes besides that.
