It Only Takes 6 Betas

Apple seeds iOS 13 beta 6 build 17A5556d on Wednesday August 7, 2019. I’m feeling brave enough to install this beta on my main device, an iPhone XS Max.

I’ve been running iOS 13 betas on my secondary device, an iPhone X since day 1.

Next up is installing watchOS 6 beta 6 on my Apple Watch.

Apple prepares iOS 11.1 Golden Master Candidate

Apple will start taking pre-orders for iPhone X this Friday, October 27, 2017. iPhone X will be available on November 3, 2017.

According to firstnameatappledotcom, iPhone X will ship with iOS 11.1 (or later). Apple has also seeded iOS 11.1 GM candidates (15B92 and 15B93), publicly labeled as iOS 11.1 beta 4 and beta 5, to Developers and Public Beta testers.

iOS 11.1 beta 3: Passcode is Now Required to Trust a Computer

UPDATE: This feature also shows up in iOS 11.0.3

New security feature in iOS 11.1 beta 3:

Passcode, if enabled, is now required to trust a computer.

I don’t remember seeing this message on the phone before other than the usual “Do you want to trust this computer” message.

It is a good security measure to have this on. I know a lot of people who don’t want to be bothered with entering the passcode every time they need to unlock the iPhone; they also think Touch ID is hassle.
