[magpie79]

[mujtaba.mir]

495.4 MB on iPhone XR

 

[Banglazed]

OTA live

 

[TL24]

Still no OTA here.

N/M just got it.

 

[digitalexplr]

Here now!

 

[thatJohann]

are those release notes for 12.3? it looks to include a lot of old stuff that's been out for a while.

 

[azdolan]

are those release notes for 12.3? it looks to include a lot of old stuff that's been out for a while.

Yeah my release notes is basically the release notes for iOS 12.0 and the download is over 2GB

 

[notmach67]

Sweet!

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Sweet!

Reppin the Jet Jag-you-ah!

So am I correct in assuming those on beta 6 won't get this update?

Removed the profile and the update is available.

 

[VIP Tom]

I’ve got the beta profile, but I can still see the update OTA on my iPhone X

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Removed the profile and the update is available.

Got it. Thanks!

 

[sorgo †]

I’ve got the beta profile, but I can still see the update OTA on my iPhone X

Yeah, looks like it’s available to me without first removing the profile/rebooting, too.

 

[macintoshmac]

Yeah, looks like it’s available to me without first removing the profile/rebooting, too.

Developer profile or public beta profile?

 

[digitalexplr]

Developer profile or public beta profile?

I have the developer profile and it updates with profile in place.

 

[ipooed]

I am gonna wait a few days to see what issues people are having, currently on 12.1.4, 12.2 was complete trash for me. Ip7+

 

[To_Batistone]

same build as beta 6

And how was it? Is there any major performance difference between 12.3 and 12.2?

 

[cbreze]

same build as beta 6

Is there a reason to bother updating from beta 6 then? Same/Same right?

 

[roncron]

Interesting. I didn’t delete my public beta profile and yet software update shows official iOS 12.3 available to download & install.

Is this new?

 

[macintoshmac]

I sincerely hope battery life is helped in this release somehow. Since beta 5 I am experiencing very good performance but noticeable drop in battery life.

 

[MOTiiVHATE`]

Is there a reason to bother updating from beta 6 then? Same/Same right?

Sorta. Beta 6 is still a beta firmware so it will eventually expire and you’ll get an annoying prompt to update every time you unlock your phone or pull down the Notification Center. Also, I believe the betas collect and send logs which can slow your phone down a bit.
