Give it a chance. It will settle down in a bit. Also try a hard restart. That should fix it.

No, that’s no something that settles. Seem they tried to speed up the animation or something but messed it up completely.

Look at the first row of icons:

Can someone see if the nav bar at the bottom of the photo library is still dark when Tinted glass mode is enabled?

Also, does the keyboard still have a blue hue when Tinted is enabled?

Thanks

the ipsw's have d's

seems like the ota version is more up-to-date with the h

i can't seem to find ipsw's for the h builds

as confusing as this is it gets even more confusing for the watchos builds because there seem to be 2 builds for that too again with the d and the h - yet there is no ipsw for the watchos!

the watchOS 26.5 beta 2 builds are 23T5553h -via ota AND 23T5553d via the non-existent ipsw

Looks like the OTA updates had to be compiled a few more times compared to the IPSW versions before they were release-worthy.

ok but that doesn't explain why apple are still listing 23T5553d as the build for watchOS 26.5 beta 2 on website https://developer.apple.com/news/releases/ currently showing


23T5553d.png


and a ota install shows 23T5553h

so what - h via ota and d via non-existent ipsw?

or more accurately i'll call it out as a mistake

I have an iPhone 13 and it seems to be running pretty well with this latest update. One thing I’ve noticed though is it’s taking forever to charge. In the last hour and a half leaving it plugged in it’s only moved up about 10% in battery. I like a slow charge overnight, but during the day not so much.
