Likely next week at the latest. They just rushed PB3 of iOS 11.4.1 less than a week after the PB2.
I simply can't wait anymore for the screen time features, omg.

They fixed quite a few bugs I reported in beta 1. Mostly visual bugs, but even a third party app crash (bringing up the camera in MoviePass for ticket stub verification always crashed on b1, fixed now). Was already stable and smooth and now it's even better. Nice to see such a solid release.
Ironically the Feedback Assistant app doesn't seem to launch for me in b2. Only thing that is broke here (will try restarting).

Hopefully this fixed the horrible bug where the keyboard in safari blocks whatever text field you're trying to enter if it's too low on the page!
That's funny, I get that in 11.4, lol.Hopefully this fixed the horrible bug where the keyboard in safari blocks whatever text field you're trying to enter if it's too low on the page!

They didn't.
So my watch has been updating for a very long time with it showing the upgrade ring full... :(
Ergonomics + Home screen gestures.
(Try invoking control center on an 11.4 non "X" iPhone ... takes a few tries and likely, you'll hit the space bar at least once.)
those 4 millimeters aren't worth the trade-off.
Anyone else getting the iOS 12 beta 2 bug where it keeps asking you to update or reapprove the phone number linked to your Apple ID?
I've approved my number like five times now and it still keeps asking me to do it.

It's doing that for me too. I think maybe it resets when you restart a device? My iPad hasn't prompted it for me since I updated it, but I havne't restarted it. Yet, I''ve had the phone ask immediately after a reset.
I mean, it might need to do some fancy management to recognise what is placed on it and how it should charge it, as well. As the article points out, you can place any device anywhere and it should start charging. All pads I've used wouldn't charge anything if you even put the phone half a cm to the left of the coil.
Nah, wireless charging rules. Even if you have the be a bit precise, the ability to just set your phone down and pick it up at a whim with no regard for cables is great. The second the AirPower is on sale I'll get it
Speaking of wireless charging and more scoops:
I hope they don't do this until we have legit wireless charging. The Witricity stuff with no mats and no cables.

Agreed. Inductive charging won't cut it for me and seems like a hassle.
Wireless charging sucks, for me. Charges slower than a cable and stops charging once you handle the phone. For many battery-intensive situations you can't charge while using. To top it off there are the alignment/target issues.
If this AirPower charges more reliably without the need of alignment then I consider it slightly better than regular wireless charging. But hardly anyone could convince me to pay 200+ for it. It wouldn't even let me use nightstand mode with the Apple Watch ffs.
If wireless charging had been the norm before cables were invented, cable charging would be considered a life improving innovation. "Finally, you can text without interrupting charging!".
I'm gonna go ahead and dismiss this rumor altogether, although I don't doubt philosophically Apple has asked themselves if they can do it. It's just that the answer is no for the foreseeable future.

The funny thing is that the AirPower mat sounds much nicer for the watch and airpods than it does for the phone (I like to be able to use my phone while it's charging, the others not so much).
So would they have been writing-off the X for enterprise use? Or are there wireless mass deployment tools now?
I thought the same thing. At the same time, pretty cool to see how much mileage Apple is getting out of their custom chips and iOS.
I told y'all this is Apple's endgame and you didn't believe me
I believe that's the endgame but also that we aren't anywhere near there. Not happening in the next 5 years I reckon, by then I'd have to reassess how technology evolved.
Then again, we also aren't there for all USB-C to make sense on a computer yet but there you go.
This shouldn't be surprising or considered overengineered. Even the Lightning Digital AV Adapter runs XNU (basically the kernel of iOS). XNU is not a hardware intensive kernel to run. Chances are it will have some form of custom ARM chip based off a Cortex-M variant that will boot XNU and then go straight into the power charger management daemon.
If Apple was already considering shipping a phone with no port last year, there's no way they don't do it for real within 5 years.
Apple's always a bit over-aggressive with pulling these kinds of moves.
It seems the Music app has been made even worse in iOS 12 from the beta? Now whenever I go to search I can only search all of apple music, with no option to limit to only my library. Theres also no way to add anything to my library from the app. Unless I am missing something?
Not being able to search your library seems like a massive oversight!

Must be a glitch on your end, when I tap the search bar I can toggle between Apple Music or my library just fine
Is that on iPhone or iPad? On my iPad when I go the search page it just says 'Search' at the top and then the search says 'Apple Music' inside it in grey (where the search text goes once you type into it). When I tap on it, it just brings up the keyboard to type in a search.
Can you add stuff to your Apple Music library?
thanks for checking, I restarted and the search now has the usual library/apple music search options, and I can add music again. I was worried they'd made some insane changes trying to simplify it something
At the moment, yes. No word on if it's a bug or a conscious change
