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.
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.
