Not sure how this relates to my comment

 

[LutzRFrank]

No new macOS … phew

Changing DNS server fixed slow download

 

[JCCL]

Weird, I thought Apple would NEVER release anything on an elections day

DNS only impacts the initial connection. Not the download speed.
DNS is a directory, not a VPN.

I know in theory, but it’s the only thing that worked after 30 minutes of being stuck

Multilanguage support would be great. I’m in Germany but have my phone set to English and can’t use Call screening and hold assist.

Absolutely, I have the same problem but with French

Was like this many times before with the X.2 releases if I’m right.
26.3 beta will be the one where tester stuck on a beta over Christmas/new years.
I would expect 26.2 for early/mid December.

macOS 26.2 Beta today? 🕣

Edit: seems like not...

 

[jha]

Where is the AirPods firmware update?

 

[iSuzan]

Anyone tested the translation feature in the EU? How is it?

Just debating with myself if I should jump on B1 or not... 🤪

 

[iSuzan]

Ah well… backup on Mac to be safe.. installing B1… no risk, no fun.

Works fine. Tested it before having set the phone to US/US AppStore
Nice feature… nearly simultaneous with short delays in longer sentences to get a better translation

So do you guys expect a new beta tomorrow or not?

Normally two weeks between beta 1 and beta 2. However since Apple pulled the beta for some devices it’s possible we may see beta 2 Tuesday.

I expect beta 2 tomorrow. I find it strange that Apple pulled the beta 1 release for some devices, but never released an updated beta 1.
