I would assume anything related to the new version of Apple Intelligence would also be bundled with some kind of formal announcement; I don't think they'd put new features built on Intelligence 2 in the beta and just not say anything publicly, but who knows? It's downloading now, so we'll find out shortly. I have no expectations though.

I also saw that on reddit, but where's the source? Like how do you discover "Kernel and WebKit patches addressing multiple vulnerabilities." without release notes

Ooh I like that
 
Is it just me, or are the “Apple Music” and “Library” buttons a little bit taller?
