Yay! Apple’s software team is working hard.

Looks like they fixed the bug opening the iTunes store from inside an app.

Hope battery life is improved. My iPhone 13 pro max consumption is considerably higher in public beta 1

Still no fix for the ipad storage category calculating indefinitely bug

I hope this beta stops the random reboots on iPad OS.
