iOS 6.1 Beta 2: New Features & Improvements (fixes) Thread

[Beeplance]

It'd sure be a good start to the week with a new beta released today..

Just sayin'...

Man, wish that would happen too, but highly doubt so. Saturday was exactly 2 weeks after beta 2 and nothing was released. So if there was a next beta, it should be next Sat. Apple mostly adheres to the 2-3 week interval, not random days for release of betas.

what? Beta 2 was released nov 12. today would be exactly 3 weeks. so it would make sense if today they release beta 3.

I wasn't asking if it was worth it, i was asking if it was safe. Anyone else want to weigh in?

Yeah dude it's safe. Use a known website. For extra precaution use a prepaid Visa. I used my normal day to day use Visa and it was safe.

That is the same thing. Sell app and put app in store. But whatever.

Things that are free are not sold, sir. You still have to pay $99 if you want it in the App store, even if it's free. (Or if you want official access to betas)

Is it ironic that the chippy up the road from me (in England), that's now closed, used to sell battered mars bars? So nice!!

Saw a battered cream egg on the menu at a seaside chippy once, but didn't try it.

A battered CREME EGG!?! Urgh man, that's just wrong! lol

Thanks for the answer, I wasn't concerned about the safety in terms of paying them, I was wondering what info the UDID could give them, since I would be under their "developer devices" wouldn't they be able to see what apps I use and possibly my info attached to those apps. I think there is only 100 devices per account so I think it would manageable to "monitor" them if this were the case.

OK OK. You win.

Anyone know if the assistive touch auto-lock bug is still there? The one where iOS just won't auto-lock if the assistive touch button was the last thing pressed.

the bug is gone now, press assistive anytime and the screen will sleep and lock, tried already many times after update.

nice work apple
