Beta 1 is running so well on my iPhone 11 (and Ventura on my Intel MBA) that I can only see beta 2 decreasing stability. I'll still be installing it though.

Beta 2 does not necessarily equal a more stable beta. I remember it being quite the opposite in the past.
This is highly likely. Been on a few B1s going B2 and they were an absolute dumpster fire occasionally. I remember iOS 13 (or 12?) having call dropping issues left and right. I hope for the best though, really need to get on this train asap.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for my question:

I’ve participated in the Appleseed program the past several years. This year, however, I don’t seem to be invited to the iOS or iPadOS programs, but I am invited to tvOS and watchOS, and maybe HomePod, too (can’t remember).

Have I missed a change along the way? Am I doing something wrong?
Kind thanks in advance.

I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong. May just be semi-random. Or they are trying to minimize the number of non developers on the first few betas of iOS/iPadOS.

If I remember correctly from my own experiences, even though I'm a paid Dev, running the Dev Beta, I don't get any invites until the Public Beta is out. I also get emails saying there's a new build of all the different devices like HomePod and macOS and stuff..
 
Like most of you have said B1 seems to be relatively stable which is a good thing but I would be lying if I didn’t say I tapped on OTA update check at 1 PM EST and the gear spun for a few seconds longer and it got my hopes up a little. I’m definitely happy with the overall stability of iOS 16-some bugs with third party apps and I’ve definitely had a few shutdowns but that’s to be expected. I’m curious to update and see what’s next for bugs/fixes and if any more features that haven’t been implemented yet come out.

Does anyone remember how many weeks were between 15 B1 and B2? I know we can’t necessarily use that as a guarantee for a release pattern just curious if anyone knows. I hope all of you are doing well!!
