[Just_Me_D]

Thank you! I’m downloading it as we speak.

 

[Garz]

I’m going to assume this is our last beta

I’m going to assume this is our last beta

You think so?

Seems likely. They've got to be moving to GM very soon.

 

[Garz]

You think so?

Yes because event is next week and they usually release GM right after the event.

That’s right. Should I download now to my iPhone? LOL

We would think GM will be released right after the event next Tuesday.

We would think GM will be released right after the event next Tuesday.

Exactly, yeah. It's one of the reasons why i waited until now before installing the beta, TBH. I only have my daily driver with some critical apps on it and I wanted to wait for a lot of the bugs to be ironed out before installing.

I’ve been running it since beta 1 on my daily driver and no issues have been major. Just little ones and most are worked out. There of course will still be room for improvement on future updates whether is 14.0.1 or 14.1.

Battery for the past few beats have been fine for me. Too early to say on this recent beta. It was a very small update so I wouldn’t expect much change in battery.

I think I’ll load it then

Installing now

 

[Modelflier]

As the latest build is 14.0 (18A5373a), the ‘a’ is usually the last build letter before the GM is issued, so I reckon the GM will be at the same time as the event on Tuesday.

 

[Chuck_IV]

How do you change the default mail/browser apps? Is this still not implemented yet?

Sorry, finally got on the beta bandwagon for this beta build.

 

[Modelflier]

The ability to change the default browser and mail apps should be available in the full release of ios14, but will rely on the respective app developers making it available to their app.
When it does become available you will have to go to the respective apps settings in the main iPhone settings list (not the Safari settings) where you will find the option to make it default.

And once the Gold Master of iOS 14 drops app developers will be able to submit their apps for review which is most likely this coming Tuesday after they keynote.
