If you're a developer, you can find out when you go to download.

I'm not a developer so idk but I am sure one of these sites will post what changes they dig up once they get into it.

My understanding is that changelogs are under NDA folks. Like the Matrix, you need to see them for yourselves.

Registered developers know where to see beta changelogs...

MacRumors says:

Apple mentions a number of changes and known issues, including several related to how developers can integrate Apple's new mapping service in their apps, as well as an improvement to how boarding passes are handled in Passbook, and a few minor changes to Safari.

**GibMcFragger#AC** · 11-01-2012, 03:59 PM

Just updated. Time to test drive.

**norrisja** · 11-01-2012, 05:58 PM

A couple of things. Lock screen music controls have changed. Maps program report a problem button is much bigger. Modem firmware took a big jump from 1.10.00 on iOS 6.0.1 to 3.04.01. That's a pretty big jump.

Yea. I noticed my signal seems to have gotten better in my place. I normally get 2 bars of LTE and now I seem to be sitting at 4 (indoors).

Updated... glad to see it didn't wipe my iphone 5 clean (ie. didn't have to restore from backup)... Will see if the cell signal is better at work tomorrow... I get about 1 bar at my desk but can still make calls... other areas of the building I get no signal at all... So curious to see if the modem firmware update improves reception or not...

Typing accuracy and speed seems to have improved

**BLiNK** · 11-01-2012, 11:43 PM

i'm on board.. not sure if it is related or not but my app store app is really fast. this is something new for me

**Brennbhoy** · 11-01-2012, 11:58 PM

Is there any benefit to iPad 3/iPhone 4s users ??

**ghostface147** · 11-02-2012, 08:27 AM

This is strictly for testing. The benefit is that you can find bugs and provide feedback for public release in a few weeks (around 6). The downside? You can totally hose your phone.

Yea. That's faster than usual. Usually the time bomb is at least a month.

When I start a new text thread, it finally is determining on its own whether the person
I'm messaging is on iMessage and changing from green to blue correctly.

Is ios 6.1 beta (iPhone 5) with the build number of 10B5095F for Verizon users? I saw there was 2 different model numbers, A1428 and A1429. However, on the Internet I only find the build number version without a designated model number. Thanks.

There are versions available for both A14298 and A1429. They can be found on the developer website. I am not going to comment on leaked versions.
