iOS 13, iPadOS and macOS Catalina Public Betas are out
- Thread starter Veliladon
- Start date
Really want dark mode. Please let me know which apps are screwed so I know if I should jump or not.
OP

Generally the public betas come out either shortly after or 24 hours after the same developer beta release. They are the same beta in that case. I've seen them release them a week after a developer beta in the past as a newer beta version though (meaning if last week is dev beta 2, this is sort of like beta 2.1). Could go either way.
I didn't want to try it because usually my credit union app stops working in betas but meh I'll roll the dice.
Yup, pretty much. You have to add a dev certificate on the phone/ipad and it downloads the beta OTA or the .ipsw if you want to do it via iTunes.
Veliladon, you should probably put this in the OP. The MacRumors iOS 13 forum has a wiki thread of broken/OK apps in iOS 13.
Can't wait to try pair this with a controller and try out remote play.
Does anyone recommend a good mount/clip to hold a controller and iphone?

Mad Catz, come back, the world needs your plastic once again
Be careful with Catalina; they've changed a lot and 32 bit apps & subsystems will no longer run at all. This is going to be a rocky update for a lot of users...rocky, but necessary.

Installing iPadOS beta now because that's the most exciting one. Not going to risk my phone this time around and going to wait for the Catalina betas to be more stable.
Past betas always worked just fine with current watch OS, hoping this one is no different because I don't plan on updating my watch OS until the final release.
Just how bad are the battery issues in the betas? I'm very interested in iOS 13 for the controller support (I use in-home streaming a lot) but if it's going to drop me from like ~12 hours a charge to something silly like 6 hours or less, then I'll live with my current streaming solutions until this is actually out.
So I've tried to download the prior several times now. Seems like it's worked but still no update available.
I have heard that the iOS 13 beta is not nearly as stable as the iOS 12 beta.
For what it's worth, dark mode isn't really going to be in full effect across the OS until third parties adopt the APIs anyway.
I have Developer Beta 2 (same as Pubic Beta 1)... I'd recommend waiting till the second one. Beta 1 was great, but Beta 2 has been buggier in my experience.
I've been using the developer beta on my new 12.9" iPad Pro the past few weeks. There are a number of annoying beta bugs and the full potential of the new multitasking doesn't really come into play until third-party apps get updated, but overall it's really elevated my feelings on the device without many drawbacks.
how's carplay in the beta? that might be the one thing that holds me back from trying ios 13 this early D:
These earlier builds typically run on an every other week update cadence, correct?
Eh I really only use AMC, Discord, Messages, Mail, Maps, and Safari, so I'll probably be okay. Want that dark mode ASAP.
That's what it's been in the past. Tends to get slower the closer we get to September. I don't expect Developer Beta 3, PB2 until July 8th now.
Do we know that this is definitely the same as developer beta 2? Sometimes when they are a week apart, the public beta is actually a newer version/build.
I haven't had too many issues with CarPlay on iOS13, mostly just style/layout weirdness. Been using it since Developer Beta 1.
That's what r/iosbeta and macrumors are saying. Usually the Public Beta comes out a day after the Developer Beta, at least once they're in a regular cadence
yes. mines works just fine
Its the same beta. I just removed my dev beta and put the public beta on my iphone. 1:1 same beta
I ran the dev beta 2 and my phone couldn't boot after a few days. Left it on overnight and it was stuck on the Apple logo. Had to hard restart and do a restore from iTunes. I mainly wanted it for Steamlink with an Xbox controller but Steamlink just kept crashing after configuring the controller.
I'd avoid the beta for now.
Safari is kind of buggy on the beta. It keeps opening the wrong ERA threads when I'd browse here.
