iOS 8 Beta 2 has been released, and I am currently downloading and installing it as we speak. Will update everyone on anything new and will report on whether or not it is more stable than Beta 1.

Things like using Safari to browse S4GRU for about 30 minutes and the battery goes from 82% to 80% over that time span. And I can play a 3D game (CSR Racing) for an hour and the phone only goes down from 78% to 67%. That's much better than what I was getting on iOS 7.

Whenever I get a new iPhone, I usually wait until .1 to grab the next generation iOS. I ran 6.x for awhile on my 5s before upgrading.

The 5S never ran iOS 6.... It was launched with 7.0.

No it didn't. I swear I upgraded to 7 from 6. How could they ship a phone with an os that was out 2 days before the device? It didn't ship with a beta.

It came with iOS 7 on it. The Golden Master of iOS 7 (the final version that is released to developers and would later be released to the public) was released on September 11th. iOS 7 officially came out to the public on September 18th. Every iPhone that has ever been released has usually been officially available to the public 2 days after the public (keyword: public) iOS update came out.

 

Apple usually has the Golden Master of the OS ready for about a week and a half before the device comes out. When they put their finishing touches on the final beta of the OS, they create the Golden Master, and they first load that onto all of the inventory that they have built up over the past few months. They have millions of devices plugged into computers designed specifically to load the OS on the device in their factories in China. All that inventory doesn't just sit in a couple hundred Apple stores for a few weeks. It usually arrives at the stores a day or two before the device is publicly available.

EDIT: Also, when Apple does a keynote for a new iPhone, and you see them demoing the new device, that device is running the Golden Master of the new iOS.

I don't know what in God's name Apple did to the iOS 8 beta in between beta 2 and beta 3, but Holy Crap it freaking sucks! I've never used a worse iOS beta in my life! Things freezing, not functioning right, and a plethora of other things. Anyone who isn't on this beta version, do NOT upgrade to it until a newer one is out.

 

(Sorry about the rant. This warning came out to be a little ranty)

There is hope.  Version 4 will be out next week.

Wish they would release the public beta of Yosemite already! Patiently waiting here!

I wish they would too, but I'm thinking more towards middle or late August.

Beta 4? No. As far as I know, beta 4 has not been released yet. It will most likely be out tomorrow or sometime next week.

My apologies.  I thought I had read somewhere that Beta 4 was to be released today.

You probably read correctly. I just looked, and it has been released. So actually, my apologies. I've been traveling all day so I wasn't able to keep up. I'll see what's new and report back.

Apple needs to put "Tips" in the settings. They raved about how simple iOS is they don't need to further "simplify" it by adding a Tips app on the home screen. (Or to my extensive "Apple Trash" folder)

I agree about putting tips in the settings app, but it should also pop up when you first setup the device.

 

My folder is called "utilities" and has 14 apps in it. This is getting ridiculous.

One of my favorite tenants in iOS design (or really, any application design - web/mobile/desktop), is that if you need to take people on a tour, it's not very intuitive.

 

I can see, though, why this would be important for people like my 70 year-old dad. If this cuts down on the phone calls and FaceTimes, I'm totally ok with another default app! :)

When my mom bought herself an iPad (she got a killer deal somehow but that's not relevant to this), she literally waited until I came home to tell me to set it up for her. She had no idea how to use it, or her iPhone... And probably still has no idea how to use the products with the exception of basic functions lol.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
