iOS 10 beta 2

Any ideas when beta 2 will be released?

Should not but will be up at the top every day until Apple seeds the second beta

Why are you using the beta 1 then? If you want a version with minder bugs wait for beta 3-4 or somthing.

I was hearing that beta 2 would be coming today. Anyone can confirm this?

All speculation and nothing more

I think it will arrive within the next 5 minutes. 7 tops.

I've posted this before in previous years. Historically Apple have released the second developer preview (that being the first relase after WWDC) about three weeks after the WWDC keynote (as the WWDC release is normally right after the keynote), then each release is often two weeks after the previous release. When Apple have strayed from this pattern, it has often been because they found a bug that required fixing sooner. Longer times usually meant they were getting closer to the final public release, holidays got in the way, or again a bug discovered needing urgent fixing.


Keep in mind, Apple do not make public their release cycles, but going historically, the first release after WWDC 2016 lines up with July the 4th, since that is the american Independance Day holiday, we can reasonably expect a release later during the week of July the 4th.

Looping forward to beta 2, bit surprises at the many issues folks are detailing here. My battery life (6S) is excellent, better than on iOS 9.3, and most apps work well, Facebook being the notorious crasher though. I've actually stopped using it and switched to the mobile web version for that one. The device itself freezes occasionally, I'd say once a day and usually when switching apps. It always amazes me how the same hardware and same betas can provoke such different results. Not complaining though - not this time. :-)

I am not cmplaining either, just hopeful, and waiting patiently... As a Developer, I pay money, Develop apps, and expect to have access to the latest iOS operating system when it becomes availavle. Again not complaining.

I'm almost certain that it will roll out today or tommorow since the beta cycles have been pretty consistent for every iOS so far

I very much doubt it, One it is a Sunday, two, Tomorrow is independence day (July 4th) So based on that I would say Wednesday.

Am I missing something or are email notifications of new beta builds not sent out to developers?

Never seen them in the past. Doubt it would change this time around.

It actually appears like they maybe stopped this practice after iOS 8. I have emails from Apple announcing new beta versions being available clear back to iOS 5. When tvOS came out, it looks like they also announced new beta versions for that via email, but then stopped there also. Perhaps they just assume folks follow diligently enough to not need the emails or there's a chance that they know what version of iOS your development devices have and only trigger the email if you haven't updated to the latest beta in some amount of time.

Just keep an eye on the RSS feed:

And released.
