Yes, that's what I meant. Developer only, or Public? Can't find it; don't have developer profile. Thanks!

Umm...first hit on a Google search of apple HomePod beta

I'm on developer, so not sure if Public is out

Might be the last beta before we go on 2-week wait a time frame to wait for the final Release Candidate?

Everything has been so unpredictable, I’d hate to even guess. But it’s smooth and stable here. Can’t see there being more than one more before RC.

Or would it be two? Two would fit. I couldn’t wait for 4:20 so my brains not working. 🫠

If the event is going to be on September 7th. It's safe to say next week's beta will be the last beta before Apple drops RC. Where's the cat? Maybe the cat knows better.

 

[Ansath]

Next beta is more than likely the last, but there’s an outside chance they might have 2 before RC on same day as the event on 7th.

At this point can we even rule out a Late Night Friday Night Party release? No. We can't.

I'll take September 8, 2022.

I’m going with that option.

 

[gwang73]

I think we get beta 7 next week, 8 the following. Only saying that because there hasn't been less than 8 beta's on a major release since iOS 10. Then we get RC after the event on the 7th (if true) and public on the 16th.

RC after the keynote, public on the 14th. New iPhones released on 16th.

Good speculation but last week beta was not that big in size. It's a possibility Apple may be just focusing on polishing it.

Hoping for everything that Apple is not going to put in iOS 16

I'll take September 8, 2022.

I’m going with RC 7th and public release 14th or 15th.

Good stuff, this should give us two more Monday betas then! 👍

Just because they haven’t been less than 8, doesn’t mean they won’t do less than 8. There’s no minimum before RC.

I’m leaning towards it being 1. A few times we’ve seen around 2 weeks gap between last beta and RC. Not always though, but I feel like this time it will as it’s more stable than the years where there wasn’t a 2 week gap.

Yes, I know that and still sticking with my speculation. Just like there's no steadfast rule that says there's 2 weeks between the last beta and RC.

I’ve been holding off on installing the betas until things became more stable. So has it? Is the beta stable enough?

Very stable on both my iPad and iPhone. Your mileage may vary.

Have you read anything in this forum or elsewhere that would lead you to believe it is not “stable”?

This beta 6 is more stable than a lot of "stable" releases

Hopefully that won't be fixed soon!
