Hey all.

The title says it all really.

We unexpectedly had Beta 6 released last week but it only came in at 13.5MB and it fixed a critical bug that Apple wanted to fix and release straight away.

So. Will we get Beta 7 tomorrow or on Tuesday?

Just want your opinions, thanks.
 
Don't mean to be rude but there's plenty of topics about that and it really does not matter what we think as it will not change Apple's plan which I do not know. I would say it is not unlikely to see a new beta by tuesday but again, I'm not in the secret.
 
Nobody knows, nobody cares :p, it's only a few minor annoyances that have to be fixed anyway, like the scaled wallpapers, no more panorama, etc..
 
I don't think it's coming tomorrow, but with no big changes it doesn't matter to me, I'm happy with 6. The GM will have more surprises than in previous years seeing it's a whole new OS and the secrecy double down:D Nobody is seeing that until launch day...well the carriers will I guess.
 
Possibly next week.
May I ask why is it of any interest at all? Why are you interested in others' opinions about the date a company will release an updated version of an operating system?
 
I honestly think that the UI needs to be faster ... but then again that could be in the GM .. who knows..I hope they release another one lol

Note the people that come to a DISCUSSION board and yet seem irritated by discussion? ;)

Irritated by rudeness actually. Just sayin.
 
I continue to not understand the speculation surrounding beta release dates.

IMO it should be released when the stupid little bugs are fixed.

Because I'm that sad person who is ridiculously addicted to these sort of these and I'm intrigued by others opinions.

Discussion of a topic that has multiple viewpoints that can be debated is good. Speculation on a topic that has only a couple of possible viewpoints and whose outcome is basically a roll of the dice is rather pointless.
 
Doubt it. Just the software support for the 5S fingerprint sensor.

There will be more than just that, we haven't even seen the new find my friends that is further baked in to the new maps and totally redesigned. Also more added camera software features for the new 5s, like slow motion, more Siri features, to name a few.:)
 
who knows....they realized 6 in an emergency late in the day. the released 5 a week after 4 and 4 3 weeks after 2. (do i have my dates right?) so who knows any more.
 
There probably won't be a Beta 7, since the big iPhone event seems to be on Sept 10. So probably, if anything, we'll probably see the Gold Master next.

They could easily release beta 7 tomorrow or Tuesday. GMs are released on the day of the keynote; so in this case September 10th. 3 weeks before final beta and GM is very reasonable, and I'd think they'd want to get another beta out for testing before the GM: I'm sure they're trying to get this done right.
