Last beta, here we go! 😁

Edit: ah, just realized that I hit 250 posts. Macrumors 6502, finally!

Ah I didn’t know what 6502 meant. Or indeed 6502a

Agree, probably the last Beta…but may not be until tomorrow. Just a gut feeling. No cat involved. 😎

Beta 7 today

 

[gtmead09]

Assuming beta 7 has the latest security update that was high priority last week, I am assuming we get that beta today or tomorrow at the latest.

I hope this new beta addresses battery. My 13 mini’s battery is worse on this last beta than all other betas.

Let's get the last beta aka GM version today (TUE, 0100, GMT8 or YOUR MONDAY).😃

Yes sir! Expected to be the last beta until "Release Candidate" drops next week. Wooo!

You mean RC and that will be after the event on the 7th, which 2 weeks on Wednesday.

 

[Ansath]

In 2 hours time we should have what is likely the last beta, which will be the build used for the RC in 2 weeks! (it’s rarely 18:00 GMT on the dot, so allowing for at least 30 minutes for them to populate it).

I can't believe what I just read. It's happening soon!

GM and RC… not the same? Or? I know that GM is the version that is shipped to manufacturers to install on new devices. RC is just a potential version to be released as a ”non beta”

 

[mngdew]

Another Monday beta release today?

I thought the GM term got replaced with RC.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I thought the GM term got replaced with RC.

It did. Moving forward it's only "Release Candidate" or Release Candidate II?

I thought the GM term got replaced with RC.

It did, to be "politically correct" due to the term 'master' in GM.

 

[dannyyankou]

Maybe last year was an anomaly, but we got a beta on August 21 and another one on September 7.

But the iPhone event is rumored to be a week earlier than last year so there's that.

I honestly like the word "Golden Master". It sounds more official and authentic.

Totally agree. There's some other software/hardware terms that also changed for the worse due to "political correctness" in today's age 🤦‍♂️

Apple could have just used "Golden Master Candidate". Who knows why Apple decided to change it? Sometimes it's best to leave things alone as is.

Right? “Release Candidate” makes it sound like we get a vote on if it’s good enough or not.

Release Candidate word makes me feel like a weak peasant. 🦃

Why do you think that it’s the last beta? They did just say that they will not implement any new features. Bugs is still there
