When asked Siri about “what time is it supposed to rain today?”, instead of just saying it’s going to rain today, Siri now gives an actual answer.

HomeKit automations still don’t run correctly, having to use a time based shortcut automation to work around it.
Do you have a few examples? I have several non-time-of-day-based HomeKit automations and they’ve been working correctly. I think I had some glitches with DB1 but only then.
 
Wow, my iPad is downloading over WiFi at line speed. I'm used to betas taking forever to download so this is crazy for me! Apple's CDNs got plenty of coffee this morning.

This is my router's Internet (WAN) interface and the iPad is basically the only thing downloading right now.

Is it re-downloading the model on your device?
I still have Apple AI with more than 20 Gb on my device. Might be due to English and German languages on the device.
Siri is optimising again, but so far no change in size. I could see extra languages adding to the size.
 
Is it just me or do the new British English voices sound terrible? They’re just the old robotic voices sped up or slowed down, they don't sound natural at all.

I REALLY hope they've fixed iPad -> Mac Universal Clipboard, it's been broken for me since B1 or B2.

iPad says that B5 is Preparing Update, so I'll soon find out!
 
Anyone else not able to install it? mine will download and then finish preparing and after I click install screen goes black and goes to an Apple screen but then the phone just restarts and it’s like the download never happened at all, and it starts again
