but yeah these are the worst betas since iOS 7
You do know what a "beta" means right? And you did read all the warnings regarding installing beta software, right? For fuck's sake.
Anything involving the front facing cam on my XR on beta 3 is just awful. Constant freezes and waiting.
Anyone else having the weird issue with invalid touches happening anywhere other than here? I haven't accidentally gone into other websites, threads, etc anywhere else. Not to say it's an ERA issue, just curious if there's something funky with this Safari and ERAs forum software
for the PS4, you hold the Share and Home button together for at least 5 seconds, it will enter pairing mode
Sometimes in the safari favorites screen it will randomly go to a different site that I tap.
Thanks, wanna try the remote play app with actually competent controls.
According to the Macrumor buying guide it won't get a refresh in October, but it might get one in early-ish 2020.
You could always wait for Black Friday/winter sales too.
The second gen 2017 model is still damn good. Picked up the 12.9 myself a few months ago for half the price of the current gen. Basically still uses the exact same screen and has feature parity for almost everything.
Their in depth guide mentions the most accurate analyst now expects a spec bump in late 2019 but a body change in 2020 so if that's true I'll wait
To anyone else n iOS 13 public beta
How do I use Siri to set a reminder for when I'm messaging someone?
I can do it manually in the reminder app but Siri doesn't work when I say
Remind me when messaging name or anything of the like

I don't have the beta installed, but would someone be able to check something for me?
On iOS 12, the Books app (the store/shelf part of it, not the reading the books part) would force dark mode if you were in a dimly lit area. And vice-versa for lit areas.
Does it reflect the mode you are in now, or is it still forced to one of the other via the ambient light sensor?
(Due to my eyes, the app is basically useless to me in dimmer areas because of this, which sucks.)

It now respects you system appearance (dark vs light) from what I can tell
Same, everything Files-related is unusable for me at this point since it will just say "its unavailable" and then shit out a duplicate. Working on my Mac while they hopefully fix this for beta 4. Widgets are completely broken/not present when accessing them from lock screen sheet too.
dev beta 3 for iPadOS has been except for 2 bugs. 1) it would always turn the screen horizontally even when it is not in that position and the notification screen is just fucked half the time.
ITT people not-so-secretly want beta builds to just mean early releases.
How's files? I should start by saying the existing "file system" isn't one at all as far as I'm concerned. My local files behave inconsistenttly from app to app and it all feels very much like a "we're using your storage as a kind of cloud alias and everything is really iCloud" and it's shitty for my specific workflow and habits
So all I need, all I want is just like, a folder hierarchy and the ability to name, rename, copy, duplicate and move files as if they're real objects, regardless of app origin.

I got the refurbished 10.5 and could get 256GB rather than the base model for a really good price, like at least half of what the current new Pro is for the same storage. Works great and feels future proofed for some time to come. Try and get one of those.
You do understand why BETA builds exist, right? They aren't pre-release "here's a fun peek" builds...they specifically exist to weed out bugs, so they will always have bugs. This is an operating system, not a video game, lol.
Sad that this won't be available for my iPad Mini 2. It seems I've finally hit end-of-life for the poor little guy. I should have seen the writing on the wall when Hearthstone wouldn't work without crashing a while back.
What's the verdict on iPad Airs? Everyone digging the latest build? I guess I need to start contemplating that upgrade...

The app itself is pretty buggy, but from what I've been able to use it seems as if the "On my iPad/iPhone" section behaves mostly in this way now. Only issue is that apps still have their own folders where hey store their files (those apps that support it), so you're still not able to organize things 100% the way you'd like to.
I don't need perfect - this sounds good enough for me. Probably wait till September though or a more stable beta update.
If you rely on Files for anything definitely skip this build, and probably the next. Buggy as all hell and duplicating my folders like mad. I just gave up on deleting the duplicates and now I'm at Documents folder #38
Had the public beta installed on my XR for about a week and here are some impressions:
Bluetooth Controller:
Had my Xbox One controller hooked up and tried remote play. Uncharted 4 worked just fine. Miku Future Sound worked much better than expected.
The real sleeper hit here is Fortnite Mobile. It works like a dream and matchmakes you by input so you play with other Xbox players.
Only issue I had that I sent a report on was with Airpods and controllers. If I use my airpods 2nd gen with my xbox controller and play fortnite, it works just fine. If am on a call with the airpods, I still hear fortnite audio but the controller input becomes unresponsive.
And speaking of airpods, i've seen some connection issues with switching between my computer and going by to my phone. Sometimes call audio won't go through.

While this is the case, you should still be able to export files from the apps to your external storage device in a folder of your choosing, which addresses that to an extent.
I'm really excited for this update so I can move most of my creative workflow to the iPad exclusively, using my iMac for finishing touches or heavy lifting only.
I'm making "being wrong about Apple all the time" a new art form. I'm the Michael Pachter of this shit.
Thanks. I re-enrolled but may skip this one, let it settle down a bit
Shit. I guess I will keep it off my iPhone for now, but do it on iPad still.
