Just tell me you can finally turn off the Homebar throughout the OS.
Nope. It’s unlikely to change either.
My dream was crushed again today, how hard Apple can it be, the look of the iPhone would be amazing without it
Two weeks on B1 I reckon.
Said it here first 😜😆😂

I'm going with 2 weeks tomorrow. Wednesday 22nd June.
If it’s that bad and a struggle in life, might be worth jailbreaking your phone then to free you from this torture?
I bet he’d not be happy no matter what. It’s become their standard. 😆😆😆 salty!

Public Beta next month. Public release with the new iPhone this fall. Same as always.
Dev beta: same day as WWDC keynote
Public beta: should be early July
Stable release: should be around the 3rd week of September

Right now, the only hardware rumored to be delayed are the 14 Pro (not the Pro Max). So, unless that changes, I’d say Ansath’s timeline makes sense.
Plus, we've had the models split before, when the iPhone 12 Pro Max & Mini came later to the standard and Pro, so they could repeat that this year, meaning those models not affected come out when I say, and the other models come later.
Beta 1 is like a stable public release for me!
When is iPhone getting:
1. Split screen use. Particularly, I have my Samsung Z Flip 3, and want to use my IPhone 13 Pro Max sometimes, but I literally web surf in bed while watching YouTube sports vids and it’s not something I’m willing to give up. I’ve tried the rubbish App Store versions of this on iOS but they feel like web browsers from the dial up days. I need ingrained into stock iOS.
2. Audio support for aptx.
3. Being able to flick the edge of the screen to go backwards in the browser instead of the arrow. It’s a bigger game changer than tapping the top of the screen to fly to the top. Get it Mr Cook.
4. Apple always reminds me to get more iCloud storage. I’m really surprised at how un-invasive Samsung is, compared to the barrage of ads for it from apple. Please. I don’t want iCloud. Having to disagree every few days is getting ridiculous.

Still waiting for the other shoe to drop…
Generally during the beta process, at some point during testing something gets turned on or off or something happens to break everything, and then you have to wait a week (or two!) for a fix. Hopefully. If I recall, even beta 1 of iOS 13 was ok. And then it was all downhill.
I’m keeping my expectations tempered.
1. Seems like a fit for PiP, which has been around for a long time
3. That's been a thing about as long as I can remeber
There was no beta process for iPhoneOS 1. There was no information for the length of time for beta 1 for iPhoneOS 2... the average length of beta 1 for iPhoneOS/iOS v3 through 15 was just over 15 days... shortest was iOS 4 (12 days) and the longest was iOS 10 (22 days).

So you’re the reason why green bubble peasants think we’re the wallhuggers (b1‘s battery life is hit or miss at best) and why my phone is consistently warm?
In my case, it overheats me due to the combination of the episode of extreme heat that we are suffering these days/weeks in Spain and that the weather app was constantly running in the background. and that I do not have any widget on the lock screen, I have only one on the left screen, and in ios 15 it never runs. Now I almost always have more than 5 hours of use with the screen off, and all of them are from the apple weather app. I uninstalled it and my phone cooled down and the battery consumption improved somewhat.
Isn't it usually weekly around beta 5? Can't remember exactly but I don't think it's after beta 2.
