technically it is the public beta 2.

But they’re labeling them the same as the dev betas. Kinda weird since I’d assume they’re not the same build but who knows.

Public beta 3 is the same build as developer beta 3

Siri still goes full screen in the newest release. Toggled it in accessibility again to no avail. Not sure what gives.

Same build. Apple was trying to avoid confusing them. But it looks like some are still confused.

Yeah probably since there wasn’t a public beta 1 but should be easy to ignore now once a few come out

I'm sure I'll get used to it (if it IS the final design decision), but I'm just so used to the spinner to enter the start and end times of a calendar entry. I get that it might be a little faster with the new method, but I'm not the biggest fan of the UI choice to bring up the number keys as if I am dialing a call. I hope the devs take the letters off of the number buttons.

I get that but it is the 2nd public beta. Since they seem to be using the same betas as developers, they should just say beta 3 (since they appear to be the same software).

Is anyone running the beta on an older iPhone, like a 6s or 7?

I have it loaded on my 6s. So far so good.

I'll try it on my 6s Plus then.

So, we can enter times other than in 5 minute intervals? Like 9:03 pm?

You have always been able to do that. Simply tap the digits for the minutes and it will show single minutes. Tap again for 5 minute intervals.

True, but only geniuses like you knew that. Now commoners, like me, can figure it out.

I had an issue pop up yesterday (and I can see quite a few forum posts on apple dev and twitter) with iOS 14 Beta 3 and Airpods. Basically I’m unable to select the Airpods as a playback device. Have tried removing and re-pairing, removing+factory defaults airpods+reboot phone+ re-pair airpods & also then removing+factory default airpods+reset network settings on iPhone (11 Pro) then re-pairing. Sadly hasn’t changed the outcome. Having same issue with my Airpods 2 and Airpods Pro.

The Airpods show in the selection list, when you tap them to select, the white circle changes briefly, then nothing happens (see pics).

This is a rather important issue, just hoping someone has a suggestion of something to try else I’ll try a iPhone factory default restore and then if that doesn’t work, go back to iOS 14 Dev Beta 2.

PS - A few more things, airpods appear to connect to phone ok (audible noise and show up as connected in settings/bluetooth & gestures work on airpods including play, just the audio comes out of my phone).

Update 1 - not only AirPods, my Bose bluetooth headphones also having same issue. Can't get any Bluetooth headphones to playback, no matter if iOS tells me if they are connected or not.

Update 2 - Erase all content and settings has cleared the issue, now restoring from back-up to see if that helps.

Update 3 - Restored from backup and exactly the same issue, can't select AirPods as playback destination....hmmm.

Update 4 - Did a “reset all content and settings” then setup from scratch (no restore from backup) and all is now working fine, this has also fixed a bug where pull down to search on homescreen wouldn’t find all apps (for example shortcuts wouldn’t show).

Update 5 - Reading a few threads, it appears that some folks are seeing this problem occur when sound recognition is turned on, the fix is to simply turn off this feature (wish I'd found this last night to avoid the re-setup of my iPhone, but oh well that's beta life).
