Hello all, There seems to be conflicting reports that beta operating systems include debug/diagnostic code that runs in the background to help Apple fix bugs. If anybody has any knowledge of this is true or not, please chime in. If this is true, that would explain that beta operating systems have poor battery life compared to GM builds. If anybody has any documentation about this as well, that’s be great. Thank you!
Debug Code in Betas
You'd think that after all these years, betas and batteries would be such a dead and buried horse that no one could find another angle on the topic...
Battery life as a beta topic has always been rooted in priorities....Apple disables power management during betas at certain times so they can short list/focus other functions, then restores it later. That why betas don't compare to trimmed out Release versions. No mystery backgrounding that kneecaps the battery.
